High Static low profile fans

Blaise170 · Apr 9, 2014

Looking to get some slim fans for my watercooling setup so I need high static. Average case fans do not fit in my top panel bay, so I need something smaller.

Anyone have recommendations?

If you are going to use 120mm fans, then I've found this:
Cooler Master XtraFlo 120 Slim: http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/xtraflo/xtraflo-120-slim/
It's PWM. 15mm thick. At minimum speed it is simply inaudible, at max speed it will be a bit loud but it will generate thr airflow of 58,4 CFM and static pressure of 1,76 mmH2O - very powerful.
Unfortunately, I still haven't found any good slim 140mm fan.
Hope I helped.

Thanks for the suggestion but it seems that it is not sold in the US.

Tested a bunch out with the Hyper 212 EVO... best one was the Cougar Vortex. You can't really go by a specification number alone. There is the overall design. Fan blade length, number of blades, blade shape, etc.

Cougar Vortex is pretty quiet too! Also check out silverstone AP121

Emm... Those fans are not slim.
I've found some Gelid slim fans, they have very good static pressure and are PWM too:

Whoops - did not know low profile meant slim. I thought that was a typo

Those look good. I did some searching and the Gelids are the only slim fans I've found with decent static pressure, so I'll probably go with those. Thanks for the help.

Sorry to dig up an old thread here but are the linked gelid fans both the same - the newegg link and the gelid link?

I've just noticed people saying on newegg that that fan can only be used as exhaust and I need one to be used as intake...

I'm not sure, I have them as exhaust on my radiator. They don't have as much airflow as I'd like though, so if you don't have to have slim, I'd suggest getting full size.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I have been reading about them and they dont have directions for airflow as most fans do and you would also need additional screws that do not come with the fan to mount it as an intake which is quite disapointing

yeah it needs to be slim line, static pressure preferably..

Blaise170 · Sep 20, 2014

They were the best for static pressure I could find for slim fans.

Yeah I want to get them, but I'm not so sure they can be used as exhaust. Is there any way you could try to use it as an exhaust and let me know if they can or is this too much hassle?
