Radiator Fans

[Drackeo]

Hey im going to be doing my very first watercooling loop very soon. Im looking for fans to use on a radiator. Right now im looking at the EKWB Vardar fans or the Fractal Design Venturi fans. What would the be the best to use?

EK's Vardar fans are very good. I'd go with them.

Noctua fans are best for silence and what a lot of people will recommend 

There are also some Corsair SP120's that people will recommend

EK, Fractal, Noctua can't really go wrong with any of them, I have Noctua's and their support is top notch if you do have a fan fail they are quick to respond and issue out an RMA.

Im not a fan (pun+1) of noctua. The whole poop brown color thing. If the LTT version actually comes out ill get that. But between Ventui and Vardar i cant really go wrong?

Either of those will work fine, they're both set up for static pressure which is great for radiators with a high FPI number. Personally I used SP120 fans from corsair but they are loud when at 100% if I could re buy I would go with either of your choices above. Not knocking the performance of the SP120 fans but they're just a bit too loud for me is all.

What about the Noctua Industrial fans?

I have 7 of them in my case. 6 F12s for my 2 360mm rads, and a A14 on the back

Im only cooling a CPU and a single GPU but i have 780mm of thin low fpi radiators for the express reason of just cranking my fans as lot as possible, zero noise is best nice.

Very very expensive. Like about $10 more per-fan. Thats a LOT of money lol.
