Messing Up With Corsair Fans.

iBeater · Oct 22, 2014

Hi Everyone.

I bought a Seidon 120M for absolutely no reason :| and since I have it, I'd like to use it.

I am wondering what setup of fans would give the lowest possible temps ( 35+ C Ambient Temp ) for either a Pentium G3258 or Core i3-41xx.

AF120 x2 - Push, Pull;
SP120 x2 - Push, Pull;
AF120 - Push, SP120 - Pull;
SP120 - Push, AF120 - Pull.

Any suggestion, recommendation, comments will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

SP120 x2 - Push, Pull;

SP means static pressure, they are designed to force air through smaller spaces like a radiator.

AF means airflow, designed for chassis that have no direct block infront of the fan.

Either AFx2 or SPx2 will not have much of a difference in a low density rad. The SP are designed for rads and might perform a bit better

Thanks for the quick response.

So in conclusion, I should buy static pressure optimized fans to get the best results right?

Follow up. Should I go with OC'able Pentium to get the maximum efficiency of my cooler? Or do a locked i3 will be more efficient?

An I3 will perform better without going for the overclocking trouble. So may as well go for that.
You are not assured that the Pentium will ever be able to reach i3 class performance.
