Radiator fan choice

Go to solution Solved by Wirerat,

Gentle Typhoons or EK varder 

Okay, radiators confirmed.

 

2x EK XTX 480mm, 2x EK XT 480mm, 1x EK PE 480mm.

Maybe not the best radiators for low speed fans, but I had 3 of the rads already and got the last 2 for $150.

Now I only need to check how good the temps will be, but that will have to wait 6 weeks or so.

Coolerguys carry the oem of the AP15Gentle Typhoon, the Cadillac of 120mm radiator fans.

 

Make sure to use the down arrow to select the 1850rpm model, same price. The OEM number ends with AP-53.

 

I have 3  XSPC RX480v3 rads with 12 AP15GTs in push mode and they are marvelous. I used a NZXT 6 channel fan controller and put 2 fans per channel via a 2 to 1 splitter and it is great.

They look interesting, but 40 of them plus shipping ends up at $1,051.36. Which is over twice the price of the Be Quiet! Pure Wings 2 alternative.
