Fans for ex360

I was wondering what fans i could use on this radiator. On the site it says slow to medium speed but i'm not sure which to go for.

Might just go for corsair sp120 pwm fans, was thinking GTs but dont have a fan controller

Can't really go wrong with the SP120s.

I'm using GTs without a dedicated fan controller - I've let the motherboard speed control them on a custom profile I setup in Fan Xpert

I actually went for GTS ill see how they go if i need a controller i'll just buy one after

good choice, they are known to be the best rad fans when used with a controller

Guys would you consider these for use for rads? The static pressure is rated at max 2.91
its just there are very limited options for yellow fans that I'm kinda looking for.

Edit - just reading the review left by buyer, I think due to the shape they would fit properly on a rad with several together...

I think the problem is that due to them being 140mm fans with 120mm mounting holes that they wouldn't fit on 140mm rads and on 120mm rads it would overlap the fan area next to it.

In short, no, I don't think they'd be good fans for a rad

Yep defo a no-no here, think I'm gonna go safe and go for the corsairs. Or find a decent transparent one and use yellow led.

you really can't go wrong with 120 sp's. I have 4 in my system at the moment and they pump out a surprising amount of air

colinmcr · 20 Nov 2013 at 20:02

I could just spray paint them yellow...anyone done that? Wonder what paint would be suitable.

there are plenty of vids for that kind of thing but better just buy fans to fit (fans are weighted just right even a coat of paint can mess with it)
