FANS!?

[hello835]

Which one is better for static pressure!? Akasa Apache 12cm or the included H100i fans?

thanks!

H100i fans are really good but really loud.

Why not noctuas or gentle typhoons? They are best fans on the market.

(inc. fans whit h100i are loud an they wont perform that well)

The specs given on Alaska's page always seemed "fishy" to me.

The H100i stock fans have good static pressure but they sound louder then a fog horn on an oil tanker especially when put against a filter, grill or radiator. I have no experience with the Akasa fans though. Looking at the product page and the design of the fan they will be very quiet. But probably worse on the static pressure then the stock fans. Out of the two I think it depends on your aversion to noise. If you own the akasa's already then test both out on the cooler and check load temps and how loud the fans are as to whether you find it acceptable.

 

I would get Silverstone AP121s or 123s personally. But they are excellent static pressure and quiet fans with a nice quite neutral colour scheme. Noctua's are the best. Gentle Typhoons are good as well.

The noctuas out perform the GTs, but both are great fans.

And the stock h100 fans perform amazingly well, but they are also very very loud. You can check any fan comparison and see that the stock h100 fans are at the top for performance. The only reason to replace the stock fans is if you want them quieter. If you want to keep that level of performance, your best bet is the noctuas or corsairs sp120 performance edition fans. Personally I'd go with the sp120s as they are almost half the price of the noctua fans and are literally .5c behind the noctua fans. But then again, noctua fans are more quiet

Here bro, ronsanut did a fan comparison with the Alaska fans. If I remember correctly, they did ok, but they weren't the best.

Also, keep in mind he tested the quiet edition of the sp120s, not the performance edition. If he had, the performance editions would be placed where the top noctua fan was.

If you want a good replacement to the fans on the h100i it won't be a cheap fan. Good replacement fans would be the scythe gentle typhoon, noctua nf-f12, noiseblocker E-loop, silverstone ap-121/123, or swiftech helix fans.(that wasn't in any order)
