White Fans With Good Static Pressure

Hey guys, so I've been looking around for 120mm and 140mm fans to put on radiators (45mm+ thickness). The colour scheme is white and black so fans with a black frame and white fins would be ideal. All the current ones I have found do not have a very good static pressure and airflow (such as Fractal and NZXT's).

 

Does anyone have any good suggestions for a white, silent and pressure-optimized fans? OR a way to dye an existing good fan into a black and white colour scheme? (such as with Noctua NF-P12, but I don't know if brown can be dyed white). 

 

Thanks in advance!

I have not used them personally, but I don't see anything wrong with Corsair's. Linus just did a techquickie video on them a day or two ago.

I would recommend the Corsair SP120 fans.

The Corsair fans do not have white blades, rather an optional white ring to go around the fan blade opening.

Does the entire fan have to be white? I know of a GEILD PWM fan that has black housing but white blades.

BitFenix spectre pro white would do the trick they are pwm, have great static pressure and come in 120 and 140mm.

 

Also if 140mm isn't absolutely necessary right now (120's are available now 140's to come soon) then Noiseblocker eloops would be worth looking at the pwm version, the b12-3 and b12-4 all have plenty of static pressure.

you could go with the gray ones that corsair gives with the h80i

http://www.corsair.com/us/parts/cooling-parts/hydro-series-h80i-h100i-sp120l-2700-rpm-replacement-fan.html

really high static pressure and cfm

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/46518-corsair-hydro-series-h80-liquid-cpu-cooler-review-2.html

 

 

these zalmans look great and have 2.4mm/H20 static pressure according to legit reviews (zalman doesnt say static pressure)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118067

http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1485/5/

 

this xigmatek has 1.61 mm/h20 and it looks nice and is cheap

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233085

 

 

these fans have decent static pressure

Fractal's fans seem to be exactly what you're looking for colour wise, but I don't believe any of them are optimized with static pressure in mind, only pure airflow, unfortunately. Otherwise I would suggest Corsair's SP fans and use the white rings... you can't always have it all. :(

Thanks everyone for the input, I have some pretty good options now for fans with a black housing and white fins. I'll just have to compare their static pressure now =)

I suggest Noiseblocker eLoop. They are awesome; quiet, have good pressure and they look amazing (white blades, black frame) ;-)

You can't go past Scythe Gentle Typhoons if you can get your hands on some.

Sorry, I sort of read through that pretty fast. My bad!

Haven't tried them personally but the German NoiseBlocker fans look pretty promising.

I would suggest Gentle Typhoons, but they are not 100% white.

Gentle Typhoons are not white at all. I've got four AP13s and two AP15s and the are awesome fans BUT they have grey blades with a black frame. Not even close to something like the other ones ;)
