Posted May 14, 2013 I am planning to buy a Blackice GTX Xtreme 240 to put in my TJ-11, along with an SR1, or should I reverse it, a dense 480, and a low fpi 240 rad? I will be cooling a 3770k, or wait till the IB-E series along with a 690, or 7xx series card... What will be the best rpm for the dense 240/480 rad? The fans I already have are the Noctua NF-F12, controlled by my motherboard. I might add an M Cube T Balancer... I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it.

I HIGHLY recommend Cooler Master's Blade Master. Best static pressure I have seen in a fan. It out performs the NF-F12 (i believe thats the model) and Corsair's SP fans in terms of static pressure.

Posted May 14, 2013 I'd recommend Scythe Gentle Typhoons (1850RPM). Excellent static pressure and very low noise. Forum Rules | Guide to Display Cables / Adapters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 14, 2013 Aren't those a re-name of the Akasa Viper PWM fan? They look very similar to me. I dont believe so. But I assure you, the Blade Master is AMAZING. I have it on my Hyper 212 Plus and i <3 it. Very low temps even with 4.3ghz overclock on my i5 2500k Folding for LTT since April 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 14, 2013 Main thing with those CM ones, the only achieve good SP at HIGH RPM = noise. :) I much prefer silence. I would look at the Air Penetrator fans - good fans and pretty quick for the RPM. AP 121's or 123's... Do you see a theme?

Posted May 14, 2013 Is the SP of the ap121 good enough for the GTX Xtreme? I'd suggest against Corsair SP fans, as they are loud and don't move alot of air. Instead, I'd say go for Cougar Vortex or as Whaler said, Air Penetration. 15" MBP TB AMD 5800X | Gigabyte Aorus Master | EVGA 2060 KO Ultra | Define 7 || Blade Server: Intel 3570k | GD65 | Corsair C70 | 13TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphacool NexXxoS radiators are very good, and they have 11ish FPI. I'd get both NexXxoS's (gosh that's annoying to type), and some Yate Loon low RPM fans (if trying to save money) or Scythe GT's (if going for ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE).

Posted May 14, 2013 If you email the company who make the radiator with they give you an RPM without having to guess. Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions.

Posted May 14, 2013 You'll need really powerful fans to get the full benefit of the GTX. It would be in it’s prime with 3000RPM high pressure 38mm fans.
