Hello there, my Swiftech x320x2 prestige has 3xNB E-Loop B12P 120mm fans on it and I was wondering if changing them for Vardar FF5-120 3k rpm would make a noticable upgrade in cooling performance (I don't mind the noise). If not il just put them as front intake because I need to change those three 120mm intakes anyways as their performance is really and I already have the Vardars at home.

 

NB E-Loop B12P = 78 CFM/132.4 m3h at 2000 RPM with 2.24 mmH2O for 28 dBA

 

Vardar FF5-120 = 107 CFM/181 m3h at 3000 RPM with 5.81 mmH2O for 42 dBA

The eloops are pretty up there as some of the top fans you can get in terms performance and noise. While those Vardars are good on paper running them at 3K which is going to sound like a jet engine taking off xD

Omg the 3k's sound like a hair dryer! The range of control isn't that great either, I had trouble getting them to idle quietly...  2000rpm e-loops should do just fine ;). That's a lot of cooling power already
