Airflow for case fans

Static Pressure for radiators/heatsinks

 

That's my opinion anyway.

Hi!

I want to put an exhaust fan, should i put a static pressure or an air flow

(The case by default had a static pressure for exhaust)

Thanks!

If it's unrestricted you will get more performance out of an airflow fan but as a rule you should always buy a static pressure fan as they are more versitile and perform better across the board.

this is not Linus but this is the best video i have seen

if you don't want to watch the video

static pressure pushes air through at a higher pressure 

airflow pushes more air in at lower pressure
