Fans for radiator

Olivernoko · 24 Aug 2015 at 22:37

I was thinking about getting these for my radiator (or the higher rpm if it would benefit) https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-002-EK

But i was wondering if there are better choices performance wise also if these would be decent to use instead as they fit my theme nicely.

Both your links are the same m8

The vardars are one the best fans for radiators,so those would be a good choice.

Higher RPM ones would be substantially louder,with not too much performance benefit,what rad are they for? and whats it cooling?

Oh my bad, ive changed the second link now.

Yeah ive read that they were a good choice, was seeing if there's others that are more aesthetically pleasing but still did a good job.

I was planning on getting this rad to use them on https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-842-EK

It will be cooling my 4690k and a 980ti

Yea the Vardars are way better than Corsair jank.

For a thick rad like that,you may want to get the 2200rpm's just to have the extra ommph should you need it.At idle/desktop use you can have them run at lower rpms that will be near silent anyways.

Yeah i thought that would be the case ill stick to the Vardars then.

Is that a decent rad to use anyway? 360mm and with it being 60mm should be enough for what i want to use it with?

Im in the process of selecting all the parts i need for a custom loop, just making sure every choice i make is a good one before i go ahed and purchase haha.

Yea that rad will do nicely for your cpu and Gpu

Would you mind taking a second to look over my other choices ive made on the components?

Thanks for your help so far anyways, much appreciated.
