3 fan options for big purchase this evening, which ones for H105 cooler

[TonyTurbo78]

Hi guys, I'm just about to pull the trigger on my next build, a Corsair 780t, H105 and fans for push/pull. There are 4 different SP fans listed to buy, which ones would do a better job in push/pull config? bearing in mind, i need to keep noise to a minimum as PC is in lounge.

the quiet editions will be best. if you are going to use a fan controller or if you use a pwm splitter then get the pwm low noise version

enough static pressure on those? and is that 23db spinning at maximum RPM?

Yes and yes ...

Also you can improve these fans by adding something around the edge of the fan face on the RAD side to stop air being pushed out of the sides.

Some 1 or 2mm thick.

So both sp on both sides of rad for push/pull?

And Thx guys, there are so many sp120 fans described as pretty much the same. Whats the difference in quiet series high pressure low noise and the other low noise high pressure?? Different price but equally described as doing the same

If you are talking about the Corsair SP120's then the main difference is speed as you can see from the spec's below this in turn provides a difference in airflow.

Corsair SP120 Quiet Series High Pressure Low Noise

Operating Voltage: 7V – 12V
Airflow: 37.85 CFM
Static Pressure: 1.29 mm/H20
Sound Level: 23 dBA
Speed: 1450 RPM
Power Draw: 0.08 A

Corsair SP120 Performance Series High Pressure

Operating Voltage: 7V – 12V
Performance at 12V
Airflow: 62.74 CFM
Static Pressure: 3.1 mm/H20
Sound Level: 35 dBA
Speed: 2350 RPM
Power Draw: 0.18 A

If you are going to use profiles or a fan controller you could buy the higher speed fans and run them at 50% this would give you some head room ?

Ah ok ... these are the same design of fan blade so yes they do perform the same in terms of air pressure the difference here is that the top linked ones are PWM fans and are ideal for plugging into a Motherboard that has PWM fan control as this allows you to use software to control the fan speed in relation to temperature.

god, i missed the pwm lol

lol you and the rest of us .... I did the same thing when I was looking at fans last year and got totally confused by the Corsair range as they all looked them same....
