H50 Fans.

Doomedspeed · 18 Sep 2012 at 10:52

I'm looking at getting some new fans for my h50, push/pull. At the moment I only have one noctua fans and its doing a good job, but I want to get two matching fans to use. I have a few conditions.

Must be black
Must be under £10 each.

The case it will be going in is the tj08e.

Before anyone asks im not reusing the noctua, I want two new fans.

Sub question. Push pull out of the case or into the case? Will have the 200mm fan at the front bringing air in.

Thanks guys.

I use the XSPC 1650rpm fans on my rad, and they perform very similar to gentle typhoons but at a fraction of the price at about £5.

They are all black, with extra long sleeved black cable.

Sadly OCUK don't seem to stock them.

I would get Gentle Typhoons or Corsair SP120's it would be a worth investment, the Corsair are under £10 aren't black all the way through but are good looking.

These are probably what I would get if not the GT's or SP on a 120 rad. Just suggesting in case you can stretch budget next month.

Thanks guys. I'm liking the style of the corsairs.

Anyone got advice on which way to setup the airflow, in or out?

For me it would depend on case temps, if case temps were higher than ambient I would probably have it blowing in.

Actually, what case do you have? If you have top fans you can just have them exhaust the air after the radiator blows it in, this is the best way I've seen.

Havn't got it yet, but this will be going in a tj08-e.

All it has is one 200m fan at the front and a 120mm space at the back, on the bottom (PSU is top mounted). This space is where my radiator is going...

What would you suggest?

I have the PS07 - which is pretty much identical inside, other than the fact it has 2 x 120mm on the front rather than the single 200mm. That swayed me over the TJ08-E.

Tried my h50-1 on the front intake(blowing in) and the rear(blowing out). I've settled with it at the rear (blowing out), there really isn't that much difference to be honest, it still rarely breaches 55C whilst gaming. So I was more bothered about what temp my graphics cards intake would be.

But my graphics card expels air directly out the rear, I'm not sure how hot it would get in there with an open graphics card.
