Fans for new Radiators

[maddy2012]

I'm going to be setting up a new watercooled rig soon with 2 EK XTX 360's.

Would Apache blacks be adequate for them, because i've already got a couple and it would save them going to waste.

They would be adequate, yes, although Scythe Gentle Typhoons are generally regarded as the best fans

Cheers, I've spent a fortune so far on the lot so a few extra quid on fans won't be too bad =P

They are around £15 a fan though

nah if you look around you can find them for £11

lets take the average and say £13 for a fan then.

That's £78 for 6 fans - pretty expensive

Tbh i'd rather pay a bit more knowing they're spot on, than buy cheaper ones only to upgrade in the future anyway.

Fair enough, but unless you're cooling more than 4 chips, I doubt you'll see much of an improvement as 2x 360 XTX rads is a LOT of cooling!

I'd certainly vouch for the 1850x Gentle Typhoons or Scythe Jyuni's 1900x. They move a lot of air.... Bit-tech did a review a while back and the Typhoon's came out as one of the top recommendations.

I use the 1450 rpm gentle typhoons and have them turned down to ~900rpm and they help keep my overclocked cpu nice and cool whilst being extremely quiet. (pretty much silent). Great fans, cant recommend them enough
