CPU cooler fan upgrade

[Luckystrike123]

I have a Corsair A50 cooler and I am looking to change the stock fan as it is quite noisy.

Am I correct in thinking that a replacement fan would need to have a high static pressure as well as high flow rate?

Can anyone recommend any fans that would be good?

Look at the vardars they are pretty good.

Yes, you are correct with fans having a good static pressure when used on a cooler heatsink

Even the 1850rpm version wouldn't be a bad bet tbh
