Heatsink build system.

The Excalibur fans have similar CFM, but higher static pressure. That helps when the air flow is restricted, and most air coolers don't benefit as much as say a radiator would from the static pressure. They should work, but don't expect serious temperature drops.

What is the reasoning for the fans?
Is the fan on the cooler dead?
Are you looking to clock that CPU higher?
Like I said earlier. The CM 212 Evo is a good budget cooler, but if you plan to clock for the stars on that CPU, it is not really intended to do that in the first place.

No intended clocking =p Just need to replace the bad one, and so i though, it would be nice to have a pair and make a push/pull airflow system, right?

indeed!

Go with either the Excalibur or the JetFlows if you want to keep the branding, they should do fine and give you a slight boost in thermal capabilities.

That's what i originally thought.

Some friends reccomended changing brand for those Cougars.

And as i really dont know much about fans and heatsinking i thought to try finding more info and suggestions online.

 

[sneekypeet]

less air flow and static pressure than the stock fans.

 

[SHJordan]

less air flow and static pressure than the stock fans.

Are you sure?
70.5 min / 119.8 max CFM

 

[sneekypeet]

that looks to me like 70CFM and 119 is the measurement in cubic meters per hour of air flow...

Oh, rogue bast3rds haha, would not ever pay attention to taht. =3

 

[SHJordan]

So i believe JetFlos are the ones for me. Will try handing them.

If you are getting fans for cooler, you should be paying attention to the static pressure rating, not CFM. You can have all the cfm, but if the fan is not designed in a way to effectively force air through a heatsink its cooling ability will be non existent

 

[Devon68]

Not to confuse you but you could try noctua's if you don't mind their color. The Jetflow fans are beautiful also.

The Excalibur fans specs are actually heavily exaggerated. When they were first announced, I had a buddy in California who was sent some for testing, and he found them to be very lacking, and not at all what the specs entail.

Id definitely get the JetFlows over the Excaliburs. But if you can find some Gentle Typhoons, those would be my choice.

That is actually an interessting information, and that is why on the OP i firstly asked if those Corsair SP fan and AF would work together with push/pull airflow system for my cooler{heatsink}

The SP are specifically meant for heatsinks and radiators, so use two of them if you want to use them on your cooler. The AFs are meant to use as case fans. Intake air into the case, and exhaust the hot air out. Don't use them on coolers.

So 2 SP would be better than 2 stock for the 212 Evo heatsink?

 

[sneekypeet]

WOW have we gone full circle now?

I'm trying to understand, cause he said those AirFlo fans are not designed to cool heatsinks, i'm really confused right now.

 

[MxPhenom 216]

Yes, especially in noise reduction, and life of the fans, build quality. Those fans that come with the EVO are sleeved bearing which suck. Cheap and crappy quality.

AF = Airflow -- General use for case intake and exhaust Fans
SP(Static Pressure) = designed for static pressure -- For use on heat sinks and water cooling radiators

No need to aggro xD
I mean, i am really new to all this, but won't SP would have less than half CFM?

That's the quiet edition. That website is also miss representing what the fan actually looks like.

AF120

SP120

Look at the difference in the design of the blades.

 

[SHJordan]

the what?

 

[SHJordan]

Okay, so which of these would be the proper one:

[sneekypeet]

And those fans are barely any better than the stock fan he has on the cooler. Did you read any of the thread, or should I just take the comment under your avatar as all the information I need on this?

 

[SHJordan]

why not http://www.corsair.com/pt-pt/air-se...e-edition-high-static-pressure-fan-twin-pack?

 

[sneekypeet]

by specs they are the same fans! I can only guess that the part number is changed due to region.
