120mm case fans best for push/static/CFM on radiators?

D007 · Aug 26, 2023

I’ve been looking into this and even looking through the forum topics here, but there seems to be quite a degree of variation in the opinions of people.
Some people I hear say all you need is a really high CFM. A lot of other people say you need a really good static pressure if you’re going to use a push set up for the fans which to my understanding is correct.

But does anybody know what fans on the market have the highest static pressure or really just make the best fans to push air through the radiator?
I already have my pull fans set up and I’m hoping to get something nice fir this 13900k heat monster.
I’d really appreciate some input on this.
Kind of racking my brain on it.
Thank you.

Airflow and static pressure are what you need in any fan

Silent wing 4 pro are a good alternative if the T30 are too thick for you to handle......

Delta fans have the highest static pressure but they also require take off and landing clearance from your nearest ATC when you power on and off.

Nidec/Servo also had some 30mm thick typhoons similar to deltas but they havent made those for a long time.

Otherwise cheap Arctic Cooling P12 or P14's will do.

I have a bunch of 2500RPM 120x38 Panaflos that I used to run.. they are pretty kick axe.

Not very pretty, and after about 15 years of solid use.. they are kinda louder than normal

Found these on Amazon. Shouldn't restrict flow much I think.
Thank you all.

Arctic Cooling P12

Static Pressure on the P14: 2.40 mmH2O
vs 7.11 on the T30's. I appreciate the info for but I'm going to snatch up the T30's.
Thank you.

Why do you need extra filters? IIRC the 011 comes with them? If not I’d consider demciflex if you haven’t purchased already. You’re also gonna need some extra long screws

The bottom has a magnetic screen. The side just has the small hole vents in the metal panel. When I opened it after like having it for maybe 6 months there was tons of dust in it. Top screen is the same deal, holes in the panel.. At least it was for me lol.
And oh man.. I wish I had read this yesterday. I bought 40mm M4 machine screws on Amazon will be here tomorrow. Should be long enough I think cuz yea..
My screws weren't long enough lol.

It all comes down to how much fan noise are you prepared to put up with no sense in having great CFM/SP fans if they sound like a damn jet engine winding up when you load up a game

I quit splicing my fans together two years ago

The ones that have more fins.
If you can poke your finger through the fan, that's not optimized for pressure.

Yea, Nah.... From the look of it. the T30 are pretty good at noise though, unless I read the review wrong lol.

Oh update on that.. You had to mention the dang halos huh? I had to buy them now..lol..

Oh and thanks for the Demciflex tip. I picked up the 120 rectangular version. I'll just return the others.

Stop fingering your fans... The thought is far too enticing. lol But noted, ty.

freeagent · Aug 27, 2023

To me the T30 is a quiet fan up to 2K, after that it gets a bit more noticeable :rockout:

I'm using noctua NF-a12x25. Did consider the T30 but they are 39DB compared to the nocs 22DB. The 7.11mm/h2O is on the advanced profile which is the loudest, and are only 3.3 on the performance. Good fans but too loud for my money.
