SP120 on a 280mm radiator?

Chimras
Go to solution Solved by Moonzy,

 

it will fit, with some adapters though lol

 

just get 140mm fans :P

I want to buy the Sp120mm since its better for water cooling instead for a af 140mm, but since i have the H110i GT im not sure if the SP120 will fit on the radiator which is a 280mm radiator

Why are you insisting on SP120s? They aren't particularly good fans, I know from experience. I made the mistake of buying some for an H100i. They're quite loud and one had an annoying rattle above a certain RPM.

Just get some better quality fans from be quiet!, Noiseblocker, Phanteks, Noctua, or Fractal Design.

Benchmark Results: 3DMark Firestrike: 10,528 | SteamVR VR Ready (avg. quality 7.1) | VRMark 7,004 (VR Ready)

 

Other systems I've built:

Core i3-6100 | CM Hyper 212 EVO | MSI H110M ECO | Corsair Vengeance LPX 1x8GB DDR4  | ADATA SP550 120GB | Seagate 500GB | EVGA ACX 2.0 GTX 1050 Ti | Fractal Design Core 1500 | Corsair CX450M

Core i5-4590 | Intel Stock Cooler | Gigabyte GA-H97N-WIFI | HyperX Savage 2x4GB DDR3 | Seagate 500GB | Intel Integrated HD Graphics | Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 | be quiet! Pure Power L8 350W

 

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.

I really like how they look mostly and they're quite cheap too

if noise and performance is not of importance to you then the SP fans are fine

you can buy 120mm fans and fit adapters on them if you want, if the 140mm is that bad lol

 

just so you know, the corsair fans are quite noisy (except the quiet/silent edition), and their performance is meh

but if looks is what you want, then go right ahead.

spray painting the frame is fine, but normally thats not the case for the blades

 

if you want black, take a look at silent wings 2
