If you need red led fans then the bitfenix spector pros aren't a bad choice.

AF's are not that good for thicker rads, The High SP ones will do ok.

 

 

BTW what does static pressure mean?

 

Static pressure refers to the amount pressure the fan can create against somthing. Usally measured in inches of water or mm of water.

There are 3 kinds of fans, simplfying it.

 

Quiet Fans are made to be quiet, but are not 'performance orientated'

 

Static Pressure fans are made to produce air pressure, you'd want positive air pressure in a case to keep dust out, for example, by making most fans intake so that air can only out-take through the small holes in the case, where dust would normally enter

 

The last kind is Air Flow, kind of obvious what that is.

All good bud, we all brain fart every now and then :)

I do beleive the rpm is higher on the LED fans, but, If you use a PWM fan spliter like the Phanteks one, and the MSI Control software, you can make some really good fan curves in that, and your system will be nice an queit, whilst being nice and cool.

Technically their are plenty of fans that do all three at the same time. Granted you pay a hefty premium for them sometimes.

 

Silverstone, Noctua, Noiseblocker and RoseWill Hyperborea's are the main ones that come to mind.

If price isn't a big concern, Noiseblocker B12-3's or B12-P's for the 120mm's. Noctua NF-A14's for the 140mm. 

 

Corsair SP fans are nice too. If you're on a bit of a budget, check out Rosewill Hyperborea 120mm and 140mm fans.

Check out Cooler Master Blade Master 120mms.  These fans are so underrated.  Very inexpensive, $8-$12 and perform very well.  I use them on all of my radiators.

Easily probably the best performing red fan for a radiator.

 

Here's a few tests with fans:

It's just another version of a noiseblocker E loop, with red fanblades.
