Is thermaltake riing 12 good to use as case fan for airflow?

As title say, is this fan good to use as airflow case fan? And who loud it is?

These fans are static pressure. They're intended for forcing air through obstacles such as radiators.

I imagine they'd work well enough as an intake or exhaust, but there are better options if that's the objective.

As for loud... at max I'd say almost annoyingly so. I've had to do a lot of playing with my fan curves to avoid this.

So I should avoid them? I just wanted to buy them because of aesthetic, they look pretty well. And yea, i thought of running them on lowest speed. Guess I'll just save money for corsair sp120 rgb.

I can't really comment on the aesthetic as I bought them simply for being a cheap SP option. As luck has it, the orange ones were only $13 a piece on amazon. If you need airflow, buy airflow. The pricing is usually pretty close, and they're better suited for the task.

As for loud... I mean, it's honestly rare they have to rev up that much, but my setup is mostly rads. They're.... an ambivalent "ok".

Also, I believe that corsair fan is ALSO static pressure. You want one of their AF models if airflow is the goal. AF120 or whatever, that seems to be the scheme Corsair uses.
