[SOLVED] Which is the best fan???

[KostGRGamer]

Hello There,
I was thinking to install a fan on top of the case as an exhaust and I have find these two fans that I like very much.
ARCTIC BioniX P140 (Red) and ARCTIC BioniX F140 (Red).
Can anyone tell me which fan is the best and the most effective????

I already have a cpu air cooler (Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duο Red) installed.

Thank you very much for viewing my question.

Hello There,

I want to buy another fan to put it on top of the case but I do not know if it will be better as intake or exhaust.
I have 3 fans (intake all) in front, 1 (exhaust) rear fan, and I have a cpu air cooler (2fans) {Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duο Red}.
Should I put the new fan in top as an exhaust or as intake???

Thank you very much for viewing my question.

Top, as far back as possible, exhaust

You leave it alone, because the air cooler already draws air from the top and front on its own.

Hi there, the fan questions always intrigue me, they are always highly very intresting to me.

So the problem with adding extra fans is always a very complex situation of aerodynamics and heat transfer. It might seem like it must be a one-shot "exhaust" or "intake" fan, but it really isn't. It depends on a lot of factors, the simplest of which include what motherboard this is, what type of colling mechanisms are already implemented, how the PSU is positioned and how it is cooled, what elements on the mobo are sensitive to heat and should be avoided from blowing heat onto them and also what is the current airflow situation of the case.
So I think it would help the people who are willing to help you, if you could share a picture of your current case and also the current power of the fans in your case, and also the motherboard version and the cooling mechanisms that you are currently using.
Hope this helps. Cheers

Hello,
Thank you for replying..

It is a bit difficult to send a photo because I am away from home, but I am happy to help with some information.

So my pc case is a coolermaster masterbox td500.
My psu fan is faced up down because there is a filter down in the chassis.
My mobo is Msi B450 Tomahwak.
My gpu is Gigabyte gtx 1050 2gb with two fans and is installed with the classic position.
My cpu air cooler is Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duο Red.

I hope that the info I shared is enough to help you.

I am looking forward for your reply.
Thank you.

Thank you.

Is yours the mesh version or glass front? Also I'm assuming the psu fan is faced down since there's a filter. I'd suggest put it on the rear top still

Well, F140 is general fan while P140 is static pressure optimized.

Some comparisons:
F140 - better airflow

P140 - better static pressure
P140 - wider RPM range
P140 - quieter

Specs;
F140, link: https://www.arctic.de/en/BioniX-F140/ACFAN00096A
P140, link: https://www.arctic.de/en/BioniX-P140/ACFAN00128A

Overall, static pressure fans are better since there is always some restrictions in the airflow and static pressure fans have the power to push air past restrictions.

Thank you for the reply.
It's the one with the plastic diamond-shaped front. (not the mesh version).
Yes the psu fan is faced down.
