Kraken X61 Advice

[Gofspar]

Alright, so Im going to rebuilding my current system with a new case and a NZXT Kraken X61 soon and I was wondering what 140mm fan should I get for maximum performance from Noctua should I get, also Push or Pull, I've been told Pull master race but I am still debating which to go with.

Whats the IP67 fan do, is there a difference? Also why wouldn't I get the 3000RPM one, would there be a huge increase in noise?

second if you dont need a water proof fan also the 3000 sounds like a hairdryer the 2000 are not loud but can be dialed down in bios so under heavy load they hit

Ip67 just means water proof

I just wondered what the IP67 was, im not knowledgeable on Noctua fans.

ip67 means water proof so they can be submerged or rained on and they will be fne if all of your other comonents are

Sort of, it's a rating for water and dust resistance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code

 

Not really needed for your typical PC, but it's nice I guess

I can recommend the Noctua NF14, they are quiet up to ~ 1300 rpm and not disturbing up to ~ 1800 rpm. But they just don't like pull very much. I noticed a massive dropp in airflow between push and pull.

I saw a benchmark that showed no performance improvement over the stock fans compared to a aftermarket fan.

I can not say anything about that (the X61 is still not available in Germany) but I can speak about the performance of the Noctua fans

But as soon as it arrives (a matter of days I guess) I will compare the soundprofiles of the two fans.
