Posted December 29, 2017 So I have a Raijintek Ereboss That little guy, anyways the fan you see in front died so im looking for a 140mm replacement. trouble is I have little knowledge about fans and ive been so out of touch with hardware for the past three years so I cant really remember much. Anyways luckily Noctua has a 30ish% off sale right now so im looking for a replacement Im unsure if I should be going for a cooler designed around max cfm or the ones that work best with radiators, I thought since the fin array is pretty dense it might still be a factor. Also is Noctua still a good brand Thanks in advance. cpu: intel i5 4670k @ 4.5ghz Ram: G skill ares 2x4gb 2166mhz cl10 Gpu: GTX 680 liquid cooled cpu cooler: Raijintek ereboss Mobo: gigabyte z87x ud5h psu: cm gx650 bronze Case: Zalman Z9 plus Listen if you care.

Posted December 29, 2017 Noctua is a good brand providing you don't mind the colours, static pressure is better for a cooler tower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressure optimized fans won't necessarily be better. Some heatsinks would work better with say a Corsair AF series over a SP series. Especially when the fin spacing is relatively wide and the stacks not too thick, there's not really as much restriction as you might think, and the fans won't be operating that far down the P-Q curve where a pressure optimized fan with worse performance in free air would pull ahead. Eyeballing it, the Ereboss is not particularly dense, but it definitely doesn't have notably wide spacing either. The Ereboss comes with a slim 140 mm fan with mediocre static pressure, for what it's worth. But based on the design you don't want something with terrible static pressure, I'm sure. I'm not sure which fans fit on the Ereboss, though. The mounting mechanism may or may not work with 25 mm thickness (standard) fans. I don't know offhand.

I don't know offhand. It should be fine with any fans with 120mm mounting holes that aren't so deep that you can't pull the rubber screws through--so 25mm should be fine. @brownninja97 Static pressure is nothing without airflow and vice-versa. For a dense fin array, having a bit more static pressure can help. Is your cooler still under warranty? If it is, you can just ask the manufacturer for a replacement fan. If not, let us know what your budget is and what ram you're using.
