Posted May 1, 2020 So there aren't a lot of cases with good front air intake. I'm wondering if radiator fans, designed for use with greater pressure would pull/push more air into the PC than max airflow, when there are air filters and slim front intake or if the pressure needs to be much higher to justify it.

Fans optimized for rads just shove the air more straight. Though if you wan't fans the Noctua industrial fans are the best.

Posted May 1, 2020 Without a pressure gauge I couldn't tell you for sure. Depending on how restrictive the case is, it could really help. Imo unless you are running an open hole with a basic finger guard, a static fan is a safer bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 2, 2020 Yes, I have high pressure 120x38 fans all over my case. I love them so much I've been using them since 2005. 1 hour ago, Gundar said: the Noctua industrial fans are the best. No they aren't, not by a long shot. Delta, Sunon, Panaflo, Pabst, NMB, Nidec just to name a few, Noctua is not is this class.

Posted May 2, 2020 But you should. I see so many people complaining about temps, and noise.. You also don't have to run them at full speed, I can run at 5v and get better performance than you would at say 12v. Just throwing numbers around.

Any power draw differences are going to be within margin of error and so low that it doesn't need to be a consideration. Loudness can be controlled by lowering fan speed, but there is no "x is louder than y" depends how the fan was made. ◒ ◒ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 2, 2020 In the summer I can continue to run my maximum 24/7 overclock on all of my components, while everyone else dials back to their “summer” clocks, and the less enthusiastic type are just complaining their computers are running hot. They can also properly feed my TY-143 at full trot.
