Hey guys I’m Planing (and I bought some of the smaller bits and pieces) on doing a Rackmount gaming server over the summer that sits in my basement and I connect too from 3 floors up with This super cool device. I need 5 120mm fans for This rackmount case. Sound doesn’t matter because it’s far far away from me, Id like the most powerful fans possible for Overcooking headroom on the new amd 5 processor I plan to use and buy once it gets back in stock. I’ll be using the Noctua NH-D15 for my cpu cooler because it’s one of the things I already bought :). Help me out guys!

Delta would be my manufacturer of choice for maximum air flow fans when noise isn't a concern. However if you have the budget you might prefer to go with the Noctua NF-F12 industrialPPC 3000RPM fans. They're Static Pressure fans.

 

Something you have to be wary of is your CPU cooler height. Server chassis aren't built for most enthusiast CPU tower coolers. The NH-D15 won't fit in a 4U chassis.
