So, I'm upgrading the fans on my heatsink because the stock one died.
I have grown fond of Corsair's high static pressure fans.
Problem is, there are 2 versions for literally the same price, I'll link them below
Corsair Quiet Edition
Corsair High Performance Edition
I have no idea which to choose. I do like silence, because my rig is very quiet already. My GPU & my case fans barely make noise.
However, I do love having my temps optimal, so obviously higher performance would cool better, I would think.
My problem with the higher fan speed is this:
-My heatsink is situated so the fans can only blow up or down within my case.
-I have an exhaust fan in the upper part of my case, blowing upwards & out of the case.
-This exhaust fan spins at only 1300 RPM.
If I put a high performance fan facing up, it will spin at roughly 2400RPM, wont this strain the exhaust fan, as it only spins at around HALF the RPM?
(I know I can just move the exhaust fan, but personally, I like having a top mounted exhaust, so I can ensure hot air is more efficiently expelled out of it)
Input would be appreciated, you guys always give me the best answers & advice, and I really appreciate your help.
Also, if you have any other really reliable, heatsink fans (I have a hyper 212, so as long as it's 120mm, it should work) to recommend instead of these, please let me know.
