Hi,

I am interested in upgrading my fans to RGB fans in my system for a NZXT H700i case,
and looking for suggestions & advice.

Currently running with:
3x front 120mm intake fans.
3x top 120mm exhaust rad fans.
1x 140mm rear exhaust fan.

The 3 rad fans is Aer P120, so they are made for radiators. But when looking around for RGB fans, they all seem to just being made for cases and not specifically for radiators.
Will using case fans on my rad cause worse cooling ?

Also, if you got any suggestions for some high quality RGB fans, please let me know.

I have been looking on Corsair's, NZXT's & Thermaltakes, but can't really decide.

Thanks in advance.

there are 2 types of fans. airflow, and pressure optimized.

i suggest watching this video and looking at the fans again.


but dont worry about it TOO much. you can use high airflow fans on radiators too, its just less efficent.
Thank you.

I will watch that video :).

As you say, "its just less effecient". I just can't seem to find any RGB fans which is pressure optimized (rad fans).
