I prefer MP to XP. They move more air 600-900rpm range (inaudible but good airflow speed) than XP does.Ahhh ok I've deffo got the ph-f140mp then... They have the rubber mounts and yeah they're 4pin. Got them whilst I was living in China, and their taobao is like ebay (sometimes dodgy deals) so never know.
After reading this thread I'm not sure whether or not I should get 2 x ph-f120xp as some case fans or some more of ph-f120mp...
They're going to be sat directly above a cut out hole for an rtx2080 or 3080 if I get one before everyone else
Phanteks PH-F140MP PWN - Any good?

Yeah they move more air in mid range but I've heard the high pressure fans shoot the air more directly, compared to an airflow fan that kind of just throws it around randomly. The gpu might struggle to suck in the air if it's being forced in a direct line... That's my theory... But I don't know. This stuff is complicated, and probably doesn't make a difference
High airflow isn't necessarily what I need - 2 x 12cm fans should be able to provide enough air to the 3x90mm fans on a gpu even at low rpm. Perhaps need to sync them with the gpu pwm somehow though.
Anyone here have any thoughts on best type of fan for pulling air through a rad?
I've seen many tests on best scenario being pressure fans pushing whilst air fans pulling, but not much with just static pressure or air pressure only pulling.
Thinking of putting a 280mm rad (with 2x12cm fans) in my HTPC case. Bit of a squeeze

To have air movement we create higher pressure air with fan impeller and that higher pressure air flows into lower pressure areas. Fans with higher pressure rating generally more move air through our cases because they can create more airflow against resistance of filters, grills, cables, etc. With our cases effectively creating an air duct from intake fans in front to exhaust vents in back.
You say 280 rad but 120mm fans. 280 rad uses 140mm fans.
What is your HTPC case?

Yeah but as mentioned it's a bit of a squeeze, even with 2x12cm. I actually had to push the psu back and cable tie it to get the 1cm length needed for 2x12cm.
Only way I'll get 2 14cm in the case is by using a gpu riser cable and laying the gpu flat - because the height of the gpu does not allow for fans covering where the power cables come out, and also a sli connector on the left adds an annoying 2mm height meaning fans can't go on the left. the 12cms would actually sit on top and cover the gpu (evga rtx2080xc) for about 2cm now (haven't added aio or cut the holes in lid yet).
2x12cm fans will be sufficient on a 280mm rad - the rad will be for gpu cooling with a g12 so overkill anyway. I even have to slice 1cm off of the kraken g12 as that adds 1cm to the gpu height. It'll have no nxzt brand on it after I've done that
Node 605 is the case... My sig does not show anymore? Huh... Any idea why?
A riser would be great as it would remove the massive air flow wall made by the gpu, as well as let it exhaust its heat to cpu area (where there are 4 exhaust fans) , however I'm convinced rtx3080 may lose a few % on a riser cable as they're only pci-e 3.0... And well its another damn £35 and requires me to somehow secure it in place... So more drilling and calculations!
And if I get a £750+ rtx3080 there's no way I'll be taking it apart to stick a rad on... Not until I grow the balls! Unfortunately an evga (only company I know that let you fit a g12 to gpu and keep warranty) will not fit. The icx3 is huge.
