Spec me some good fans :)

simon.deighton · 5 Jul 2010 at 09:40

Basically I want some few new fans for push pull on a Corsair H50.

Im not sure the 2 on at the moment are putting enough air flow through.

If anyone could point me in the direction of a fan that provides good airflow and is fairly quiet that would be good

Cheers

You'll need fans that have high static pressure as the fins density on the h50 is high. Some Akasa vipers or scythe gentle typhoons should fit the bill perfectly.

+ 1 Internets for you sir

Ill have a look now

simon.deighton · 5 Jul 2010 at 09:56

Those Vipers look the biz might go for those

Tealc · 5 Jul 2010 at 10:17

I've heard some good things about those gentle typhoons though.

simon.deighton · 5 Jul 2010 at 10:19

Just looked them both up

Akasa Viper Air Flow 83.63 CFM

Typhoon Air Flow 57.6 CFM

Aren't the vipers louder at full whack though?

Tealc · 5 Jul 2010 at 10:25

I suppose it depends what you are looking for.

Lower noise/Good cooling or Higher noise/Better cooling.

For some noise is not an issue. Get yourself a couple of deltas and put them in push/pull.

JeffyB · 5 Jul 2010 at 10:25

The vipers will be louder than the gt's but they push more air.

simon.deighton · 5 Jul 2010 at 10:26

Deltas?

JeffyB · 5 Jul 2010 at 10:35

Deltas push tons of air but will sound like a rocket

simon.deighton · 5 Jul 2010 at 10:41

Hmm well I'll go with the Vipers and see how those are!
If they're not too bad I'll replace the front case fans aswell (Antec900)

Just so I know are those 'Deltas' the brand name or model, who makes them?

Freddie1980 · 5 Jul 2010 at 10:53

Delta is the name of the manufacturer and there fans have a sort of legendary status amongst enthusiasts due to the amount of air flow they produce (not to mention the noise). There’s lots of videos on Youtube demonstrating the power of Delta fans and there’s one video I’ve seen where someone was able to ‘suck’ a DVD of the desk which got stuck to the under side of the Delta fan, simply amazing power.

Deltas sound amazing like a jet engine or something

simon.deighton · 5 Jul 2010 at 11:06

Thats crazy, just looking at some now - they sure can blow/suck!

The following consists of fans I personally would consider in no particular order :

Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120mm 1850 RPM

Akasa AK-FN058 Apache Black

Zalman ZM-F3

Yate Loon D12SM-12

Scythe are good!

perry081064 · 5 Jul 2010 at 12:44

was thinking of getting the scythe myself, ive got a couple of noctua fans on mine from my old (first gen noctua cpu cooler ).
..just wondering if these would be an improvement?

OLDPHART · 5 Jul 2010 at 16:54

I'm running three Akasa Viper fans on a 360 Rad mounted on the outside rear of the case set to PWM in Bios. Even at 1700+ can't hear them at all and my PC is right next to me.

simon.deighton · 6 Jul 2010 at 16:48

Ive decided to go for the Vipers, got them through work as OCUK were out of stock

I know its not abuot looks but they do look the nuts.

Testing begins tonight!
