Case fan upgrade question

[Auchhior]

I'm looking at upgrading the fans in my build. Right now I'm running 3 Rosewill ROCF-13001s, two as intake and 1 as outtake(and 2nd outtake fan that came with the case.)

 

The ROCF-13001 has a 32 CFM, and I was looking either the Artic P12s or F12s. They both have CFM specs in the 50s and are pretty affordable at 31 dollars for a 5 pack. Is this a good move or would it not make that much of a difference?  Also which one should I get for my use case? I was leaning towards the F12s.

 

I'd replace all three Rosewill fans, and use the extra Artic fan as a second one on my CPU cooler(Hyper 212 Evo).

 

Also, as a slightly related but different question, does anyone know what the rated CFM is for the exhaust fan that comes with the Courgar MX 330-G? I looked on their website and even asked them via the website, but haven't gotten an answer.

I wouldn't dig to deep into CFM. you should look more at static pressure vs noise.  the p12 are a better choice.

Could you explain please? I have very little knowledge about case fans so I assumed CFM was the spec to look for.

CFM is the number for how much air a fan can push. but the problem starts when ur looking on the spec for fans and u think one is better than another. manufactures dont measure CFM in the same way.
next up is speed, CFM is taken at max speed. but are u rly going to have jet taking off next to u?

A quiet fan like Arctic's and noctua's can have 200-300 more rpm at the same noise lvl than other fans. (not all other ofc but..)

 

Buy the P12 or P12 ARGB (if ur into RGB)
