Airflow optimised fans is better in some cases?

Rekted

If I don't use hard disk drives or radiators and just air cooling with m.2s then using airflow optimised fan series would be a lot of better than static pressure optimised fans right? Small note: I think that's might be the reason in Viewer's choice PC

Case as in scenarios not in computer cases. But let's take the famous NZXT S340 and remove the hard drive cage that's the case I was thinking about when building

yeah, airflow optimised fans would be better for this instance.

The s340 doesn't have a hard drive cage.

 

Well, it does, but its under the PSU shroud, and there's no fan mounts in there anyway.

I thought the front 140 will partially flow some air into there

Nah even the very bottom of the fan sits just above the shroud. There are those weird grills on the shroud that let a bit of air flow through though.

Static pressure fans don't really move more air when put in front of a radiator versus ones with thinner blades that move more air. Kind of just a marketing gimmick. In my own experience it's better to get the ones "optimized" for airflow if they have a static pressure version, IE the Corsair AF or the Noctua S12 vs F12.
