So currently I'm trying to find some addressable RGB fans to go onto my rad. Right now I found these cooler master fans but I'm not sure if they would perform well on a Rad. So I need help and your suggestions! Thanks!

Solution
They seem to be some blend of case and radiator fans so they may perform well for liquid cooling unless it's very tight TDP wise. I used case fans for radiators with maybe only 1 - 3c temperature penalty and even that only at low rpm.

When looking fan specs, it seems to have good static pressure of 2.14 mmH2O with mediocre airflow of 59 CFM.

Anything over 1.5 mmH20 will do fine on a rad, though, the higher the better.

Though, what MasterFan MF120R RGB is, is basically high speed version of MasterFan Pro 120 Air Balance RGB fan (1300 RPM vs 2000 RPM),
