be quiet! Static Pressure fans?

I was thinking of getting the Silent Wings or Shadow Wings fan for airflow but was wondering if they have a good fan for my Kraken x61 AIO cooler?

yes you can use airflow fans on a radiator, they will still perform very well

Really? So it isn't a big difference? Trying to decide between the Silent Wings and Shadow Wings...the Silent Wings are a bit pricey for fans

just a few C at most

but the silent wings are quite a bit quieter

also btw the silent wings 3s are coming out

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

The only thing I would normally suggest is the Pure Wings fans they use on some of their coolers. Though those are only available in 120mm as far as I know. And you would have to contact them about a direct sale.

 

That said, I have seen some people use Silent Wings on radiators, though I don't see push/pull working well if at all due to the frame design. Push should work fine though.

 

As for airflow fans vs static pressure, JayzTwoCents has shown that airflow fans work fine in many cases, and Asetek radiators are not very beefy so airflow fans should work fine.

Few C is a pretty big difference I would think...hmm well I could go with the Fractal Venturis which are quite a bit cheaper and supposed to be great fans.

Just wondering if they would be better than the stock fans that come with the Kraken x61? I can only do a push configuration anyways with the x61 and my case.

Stock fans are fairly quiet already so maybe I will just keep the stock ones and then go with three Venturis up front for airflow.
