SP vs AF exhaust

Surpuppa

I know that this is a very old question that has been answered countless times. I know AF fans are better when there is little restriction and the SP are better with radiators. The problem is that I recently saw a graph comparing the two, and the AF fans quickly turned to shit even with little restriction. Is it still the best way to go for an exhaust or is the SP better, even if the honeycomb is pretty wide

I woudl say it's still good with airflow series of fans since it's very little in the way, but for things even like intakes if there is very fine meshed filters or any restriction pressure fans are better in those situations.

I got myself 3 p12 fans from noctua. as intake i have 3 in front of my rad and as exhaust i also use pressure fan for the fact that i like the option that whatever restriction there might be with the mesh on the back of my pc, it is still able to push the air through it.

SPs are optimized for pushing air through obstructions. Since the exhaust fans don't have that much you'll benefit more from AFs.
