Hello guys I have purchased an aftermarket cooler ( prolimatech mk-26) for my AMD R9 290, and I want you guys to advice me what FAN should I instal on that cooler, Should I go for a Corsair AF or an SP?

Kind regards.

If only leaning toward corsair only, definetly the SP, the AF(airflow) are decent case fans, what you want for heatsinks is static pressure so the SPs for sure. But I would consider looking at the Noctua NF-F12 fans, very quiet units.

Hello maxiim, thanks for your advice, well I was mainly considering the Corsair fans, because my computer is like a "ROG BLack/Red theme", has for the fan size is there SP 140mm? what about the SP quick vs performance? only the RPM's are higher right? kind regards.

I personally would use the slower fans, just because I'd like to keep it as quiet as possible. As far as fan sizes go that cooler supports two 120s or two 140s so you can grab either, though keep in mind corsair doesnt offer the SP series in 140mm yet, so your only option would be to grab the 120s. They might be only slightly louder, but I doubt it will be massive performance difference between two 120s vs two 140s.

Hello my friend thanks alot for your cooperation! Well I might go for the SP120 Performance edition, because I can regulate it into a lower RPM (same has teh quiet) and when I need some extra cooling I will just set it to the max.

Kind regards.
