Muchoman1 Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) Back to the topic... These fans any good? 8 of these (4 on each Rad) http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9_215&products_id=11128 on 2 of these http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_160_297_921&products_id=15731 Edited April 9, 2011 by Muchoman1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muchoman1 Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Anyone know if these fans will work in push? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 They don't push air very well through restrictive radiators. Going with quiet fans on a high density (20 fins per inch in your case) might not be the best idea for cooling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is also about static pressure but what quiet(ish) fans will be ok, or what rad should i use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muchoman1 Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Ok, im open to any fan and rad ideas except for a few things, 1 has to be 120.4 rads (no problems with fat or huge rads as i am modding my case around the rads) 2 has to be quiet fans 3 cant be expensive fans (up to $15 each is fine) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wevsspot Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Mucho - if fancy isn't a requirement - and size isn't a problem -I highly recommend these fans; http://www.jab-tech.com/Yate-Loon-120-x-38mm-D1SL-12D-pr-4335.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the 25mm Yate Loons on my rad and they are good air-movers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you clam these slower (1250vs2000 rpm), lower cfm (38vs90 cfm), lower pressure (1.1vs3.04 mmH20) and louder (25vs19db) fans will work better for my rad?

I own the Yate Loons (well, not the red LED version, but the regular of the Yate Loon low speeds) and a couple of the CM R4s. I junked the R4s for use with anything except case ventilation...their specs are way off and they have an annoying whine. Cooler Master has a long history of "creatively" reporting specs for their fans. I'd suggest going with the fans that wevvspot linked if you can stand not having the red LEDs though I'd choose either of them over the R4s. EDIT: Here's a chart of the airflow vs noise for the CoolerMaster R4 Sickleflow (and a few others): http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coolers/display/120mm-fan-roundup-2_4.html#sect0 Note that it's moving less than 35 CFM at over 46 dB. I don't have any directly comparable numbers for the YL but I wanted to give you an example of how far off those CM numbers are.
