[SOLVED] Best replacement 140mm fan for NZXT H1 V2

[Deleted member 362816]

Curious what the best static pressure fan to replace the one that comes with this unit would be.

Many are saying Noctua (no idea on what model) or the ToughFan 14

I would like a fan that stick with 25MM that can if needed push some serious air (I am not concerned about noise)

Any advice would be great.

Corsair, NZXT themselves have high static fans...which would be ideal for a compact case like the H1.

So the AER fan that it comes with for the 140mm AIO would you assume no point to upgrade it?

Em, bit of a toss up. I'd swap the stock fan out with one I'd have lying around which was high static pressure indeed. I can't recall if the fans in the H1 V2 version are DC or PWM...if they are DC, then you could actually be in a better position to get PWM's in place of DC.

Here is the fan info.

• Model: Aer P 140mm.
• Speed: 500 - 1,800 ± 300RPM.
• Airflow: 27.27 - 98.17 CFM.
• Static Pressure: 0.21 - 2.71 mm-H₂O.
• Noise: 21 - 38 dBA.
• Fan Connector: 4-pin PWM.

If you have one in mind that you think may be a upgrade from this just let me know the model and I will give it a try off Amazon.

They seem good actually. If you do go for a higher static pressure fan, you should be getting more noise from them;
https://noctua.at/en/products/fan?size=2650&connector=12
^ shortlist with 140mm + PWM connector from drop downs.

One other brand that does come to mind is EKWB and Scythe but the latter's fan is lower in static pressure than what you have.

I completely forgot about Vardars that might be a good one to try. I have one of those in another system.. Thank you.

They were likely referring to Noctua's NF-A14 IPPC 2000/3000.
Not too many of the popular brands have fans that could compete in performance with the IPPC 3000 version at high speed... then again, the IPPC versions weren't really intended for mainstream use.

Those fans are wasted cash if the user isn't going to run them at or over 1500rpm - the max of the original NF-A14 - on the regular.
