Posted January 20, 2013 I remember in a video Linus fairly clearly stated that it was fairly pointless for him to add 2 more NF-P12's to his H100 as they already create enough pressure so adding another wouldn't do anything. I'm about to upgrade the fans on my H50, should I get one or two NF-P12's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 20, 2013 The H50 is a very thin radiator. You wont benefit with adding the second fan on it. I would stick with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 20, 2013 It's not as if it won't help, the amount it does will vary per cooler but it most circumstances it's only marginally cooler but will sacrifice a significant amount of silence. So I'd recommend getting just one fan. By the way just so you know your fan upgrade should affect performance much from the stock fan other than making it much more quiet.

Posted January 20, 2013 Yeah i have 2 prolimatech fans on my rad and the difference for me on one or two is like 3 degrees. But I also have mine undervolted a little so it might drop a degree at full speed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] why are you posting in air-cooling? they create enough pressure to satisfy the thinner radiator for his application. but adding fans can lower the temps.. but it depends on your setup. there is no "cookie-cutter" recipe for all builds wasn't it NF-F12 not P12 fans? because the P12 is fairly OK in pressure, and fin density of the H100 is crowded. so either excessive high-speed fan or high static pressure can cure the density issue. you got to understand the build, parts and what "forces" are being used to make it all work together. airdeano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
