[SOLVED] NZXT Z73 fans

[OGm00se]

So quick question...I just now learned that corsairs QL120mm fans aren't good for radiators (not static pressure fans from what I understand).

I ordered 9x QL120mm fans for my build, (case is Lian Li-PC011 Dynamic). Well, now knowing the QLs shouldn't be put onto the NZXT Z73, i'm unsure what to use. I wanted to stick with rgb fans for the overall theme, and this is the first PC i'm building myself so I don't know very much.

Would I be good using the ML120mm fans by Corsair for the Z73 aio, or should I use NZXT AER RGBs? Any help would be appreicated! (Also, my mobo is a Asus ROG Maximus XII Hero)

Full specs in case you need the info;

Fans; (3x) intake bottom - QL120mm corsair fans; (3x) intake side - QL120mm fans, (3x) exhaust on the radiator (brand??)

Thanks again!

It will be fine. Yes, static pressure fans are preferred, but you've put a 360mm radiator on it, not going to hurt it too much unless you are going for record breaking.

The best thing is to use fans with identical - or near identical specs to the ones being replaced. Kraken Z73 uses Aer P120.
Aer P120(0.32A)
73.11CFM
2.93mm-H2O

The ML120s have different specs for RGB and non-RGB though.

ML120 RGB(0.22A)
47.3CFM
1.78mm-H2O

ML120(0.23A)
75CFM
