in the course of my ongoing research in preparation for my first adventure in to watercooling I have been reading about FPI and fans.
Would the following statement be correct (assuming here that the higher RPM fans have higher pressure / shift more air)
low FPI = can use lower fan speeds
high FPI = faster fans speeds
if this is in general correct, is there a table or document somewhere that details approx recomended RPM v FPI.
Example I am looking at a rad with 20FPI and another one with 30FPI but I have no idea what sort of RPM i would need for that. I initially though I;d just go for some of those mad 5400rpm scythe fans, but after listening to a vid of how loud they are even when under volted I am not sure I could tolerate the ear bleeding.
For a 9 FPI rad I would think something like gentle typhoon at 1400 or a bitfenix spectre would fit the bill ?
