Would these fans be good for pushing air through an air cooler

spakkfkds · Jun 30, 2014

Trying to figure out if these fans would be good for my corsair 200r and my hyper 212 in push pull
I really want them because they only go up to 1000 rpm

You should look for fans with a higher static pressure for use with a heat sink.

Bojangle12 · Jun 30, 2014

spakkfkds :

The static pressure looks really low. I'm going to say no.

I'm also going to say that push/pull is not necessary. I have tested it out, and two fans is not better than one fan. Only buy one fan, and put the money you would have spent on a second fan towards a better fan.

I recommend Cougar Vortex. I have found it is great. Silverstone is also a good company.

what about those for more cfm and run at 1200 rpm the also have green one http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cougar-case-fan-cfd12hbb

These are meant for the job.

spakkfkds · Jun 30, 2014

I already have spare noctua fans laying around but they don't match my build, I'm looking for something around 1000-1300 rpms and with either green or white LED's

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 30, 2014

I have these on my Phanteks.

I was looking at those, but I'm not sure what color I should go for the LED strip though, I was thinking green but that seems like it might be overwhelming if I do that for both the fans and the strip.

scout_03 · Jun 30, 2014

this is the same one i link to him for better air flow .

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 30, 2014

They are nice and push a great amount of air.

spakkfkds · Jun 30, 2014

I think I'll buy two of them, but how strong is the light that comes off of them? I'm not sure if I want to go with a white led strip or a green one

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 30, 2014

Perfect amount of green light , best greed LEDS i've seen and quiet.

scout_03 · Jun 30, 2014

they also have red one or if you dont need the led see these one same maker set of 4 orance or black blades http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cougar-case-fan-cft12s4

spakkfkds · Jun 30, 2014

What about these http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001Q6UU7K/?tag=pcpapi-20 they gray and black would match my build

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 30, 2014

Decent.

scout_03 · Jun 30, 2014

do not only check the fan speed but the cfm means the air volume they push that what you should look at first .

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 30, 2014

The Cougars are great fans , you would like them , top quality and airflow at a great price.

spakkfkds · Jun 30, 2014

Yeah I can't find any other ones that would match the build better, what about for hard drives I know it is a bit off topic but on amazon they have a http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005T3GRNW/?tag=pcpapi-20 and then a http://www.amazon.com/WD-Blue-Desktop-Hard-Drive/dp/B0088PUEPK/ref=psdc11_t1_B005T3GRNW_B0088PUEPK the price difference is about $5 but the cheaper one doesn't show if it is sata II or sata III so I'm kind of confused as to what to get.

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 30, 2014

I use the WD blues , but they are pretty much equal , pick one.

What would be the difference between a blue and a black? I already have an ssd but I work a lot in vms so I can't afford a huge ssd to put them all on, but how much faster would a black be?

scout_03 · Jun 30, 2014

the first one is a bare one so no cable and if your a gamer i syggest this one better warranty then the blue http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Cache-Desktop-WD1003FZEX/dp/B00FJRS6FU/ref=psdc11_t1_B0088PUEPK_B00FJRS6FU

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 30, 2014

The Caviar Black are more reliable.

I read a review on amazon about some of the blacks just being re batched blues, do you think that is true?

Would these fans be good for pushing air through an air cooler
