Best fans for Black Ice radiators

[ConTRo13R]

Which fans are best for these types of radiators with densly packed fins?

 

[cammy5477]

something with good static pressure like noctua or apache

I'm using 3 Vipers on my 360Rad Black Ice + PWM Splitter cable.

 

[ConTRo13R]

How do i know what ones have good static pressure?

I was looking at the yate loons D12SH-12, as they have high cfm and rpm and also are 25mm which i need as i stupidly ordered the screws before the fans

Yep, the vipers are a bit better than the apaches when it comes to static pressure.

 

[cammy5477]

yep vipers are very good aswell

What would be a good 140mm fan for a black ice?

Hi mate

I've been running a black ice sr-1 rad with these fans.

It works a treat. But as others have said, vipers and apache fans work very well. I'd also take a look at the new Enermax range that OcUK has added, some of them are quality fans

Theres not many fans that will beat a Viper at this all round spec CFM, Static Air Pressure, Noise.

Akasa Viper -
- High performance 12cm fan in killer VIPER yellow colour
- S-FLOW fan blade design delivers 30% higher airflow
- Super silent with PWM auto speed control
- Hydro Dynamic Bearing extends fan life up to 50,000 hours
- Dimension: 120 X 120 X 25mm
- Fan speed: 600 -1900 RPM
- Max airflow: 83.63 CFM (141.75 m3/h)
- Max static air pressure: 2.98 mm H2O
- Noise level: 6.9 -28.9 dB(A)
- Fan life expectancy: 50,000 hours
- Connector: 4pin PWM

As l say running 3 with my Rad mounted externally, and l can just hear them when they peak at 1700RPM.

Would these fans be any better than the yate loons D12SH-12?

Akasa Vipers are one of the best fans you can get, I'd say that they better the Yate Loons

 

[ConTRo13R]

id want the vipers its just the yellow fins that put me off and the apache black dont perform as well :/

+1 i will be having 3 vipers on my black ice 360 rad

I quite like the colour of the vipers to be honest. If you don't like it, take a look at the enermax range. Very good fans, not as good as the vipers, but very good looking.

btw, UB40's releasing a new album soon!
