Ok, I'm looking for the best fan for radiators, and I have no idea which one to choose.
I know that with radiator fans, that have to have really high static pressure, and originally I was going for the Noctua NF-F12 PWMs but now I have had a look at the Corsair SP120-PWM High
Performance Edition and apparently they have much higher static pressure.

I don't care about the looks or the money, I just want the best fans possible for my H105. Thanks guys for your help and I hope for a quick reply.

Also, what is better for a pull fan? High static pressure or high air flow... I honestly don't know any a quick reply would be really nice.

The SP120 High Performance Edition has a rated static pressure of 3.1mm/H2O at max, with a sound level of 35 dbA, and CFM of 62.74.

If you want better, the Noctua NF-F12A PWM IndustrialPPC 2000 RPM is rated at 4.1mm/H2O at max, with a sound level of 29.7 dbA, and a CFM of 71.7.

If you want a lot better, the NF-A12 PWM IndustrialPPC 3000 RPM is rated at 7.63 mm/H2O at max, with a sound level of 43.5 dbA, and a CFM of 109.9.

For a pull fan, high airflow is more important as it doesn't need to force air through an obstruction. Most high static pressure fans have high airflow, but high airflow fans don't always...

For a pull fan, high airflow is more important as it doesn't need to force air through an obstruction. Most high static pressure fans have high airflow, but high airflow fans don't always have good static pressure.

Thanks, this is a HUGE help. The only thing is that I'm trying to do my whole build from amazon.co.uk and I'm sure they wouldn't have the "NF-A12 PWM IndustrialPPC 3000 RPM".

I'm not fussed with the sound. I'll almost always be using either speakers or headphones while on the desktop. I also weirdly like the sound of computer fans. I can't really explain it. I just do. :p
