Overclocking, need fans!

[joshhussey]

I was looking for Gentle Typhoons AP-45's or newer similar GT's but can't find anything...
Doing a heavy OC, but to get there Im gonna need my water cooling setup finished...
Anybody have any suggestions for fans??

I was looking for Triebwerks too, also can't find them...

Need suggestions of high static pressure and (VERY) low noise fans!!!
Having a hard time ... 🙁

Well obviously, the best out there are Noctuas. Dead silent, great radiator fans, ugly as sin.

Corsair Air series SP120 High Performance are decent, static pressure of 3 or so. 35 decibel tho at max speed.

Noctua options

Can't really suggest fans till we know what rad you have 🙂

Darksable, thanks, I have checked those out and they are definitely an option, but as you said.. they are ugly as sin, so I am gonna keep looking before I bite the bullet on those..

Mamasan2000 I will definitely have a look at the corsair's too.

Motopsychojdn,

my rad will be a Darkside triple 120mm rad, part # DS360-P on DazMode.com.

I will be putting the rad in the top portion (915R) of my CoolerMaster HAF stacker 935.

Ok with a low fpi you dont want or need massively overpowered fans, theyre designed so you can use slower quieter fans,
My Gelid blue wings on the Rx radiator which is also 8fpi dont actually have any increased cooling ability over about 35% power so go for a fan with a nice static pressure at lower speeds and you'll be cooling optimally and running quieter than if you get highspeed high Cfm turbofans that you dont 'need' to run above 15% but at lower speeds wont cool as effectively

Okay perfect!
Do you have any recommendations? The SP120 series from Corsair seems pretty good... Is there anything better, minus Noctua (ugly) that would be more desirable?

 

[DarkSable]

The SP 120s are good on paper, but I've got a bunch of them, and I can tell you that they're absolutely horrible.

Unless they're mounted in the front of the case (i.e. if the fan blades aren't vertical), they wear out and start making grinding noises in about four months. This has happened with every single SP 120 and 140 that I have.

 

[Motopsychojdn]

My fans are all Gelid blue wing 120s or Xspc 2000rpm 120s except for two In win fans in the radbox and after three years there are no issues with bearing rattle etc, Gelids are set in both horizontal and vertical application so no difference for that and if I had the money I'd replace all my Xspc ones with them, if you like the Noctuas then get those and maybe cover them with grills or paint if youre not happy with their looks 🙂
