Adding pull fans to rad

reiyushin · 7 Nov 2011 at 23:09

Hello I've got 3 fans in a push config on my rad, thinking of adding some pull ones as well.

I don' think I can match fans so should I try to match the CFM as close as possible? Or will any CFM make an improvement?

Thanks

GTs are definately the fan fav ^^

Had to mod my apolishes to get the to run full speed, 2000rpm GT's could make a nice pairing.

No point going for high RPM's unless you watercooled for performance alone!

It's best to match the fans as you may get some harmonic resonance that you could find annoying or not depending on how sensative you are to fan noise. I doubt it would be that bad. Reminds me of my old raid setup with 3 drives that would purr

The harmonic thing can be really annoying. Got it with my 570 and GT's

I'm gonna hook em up to a fan controller.

I could avoid this with a fan controller yea?

ps you asked about the FC2 and it's a nice piece of kit, basic but sturdy and looks very nice indeed
