Upgrade current water cooler fan

I have a antec cooler 620 and current only got only fan at the back but it has the capability to have two fans (one in front of rad one behind) i'm looking at upgrading both fans to one of these but i see they do two different types which one will be best for me?

SP120's

The SP (static Pressure) work better with Raditors/Heatsinks, as its the static pressure in the heatsink that will cause the temps to drop...

AF120's are Airflow fans, which move air quicker. Ideal for case fans.

I'll vouch for the SP120's. Got a Corsair H80i with two of these in push/pull and they are fantastic.

Thanks for the advice guys i've ordered them, looking forward to fitting them!

They are a joy,

I had them on a H50 (when I had that) and they were deadly silent.

+1 for the sp fans, they are brilliant and much better than the usual oem stuff that comes with the case or rads. Definitely much queiter

Good to know i've ordered 2 SP120 for my water cooler and got 2 AF140 for the top of case too!

Got one of the fans fitted but struggling to get the last one fitted as the screws aren't long enough, i need some more so i can get them fitted to my radiator, what sort of screws do i need? i already had 4 as they come standard but i need another 4 to get my last fan fitted, what size do i need?

bumpy, surely someone has ordered some screws to fit a fan to a water cooler? just need to know what to get

I'm sure they'd be M3/M4 x 30mm/35mm. I'd imagine it would depend on the radiator?

i have the Antec Kuhler H2O 620, without taking the cooler off and checking the size is there a way to find out and where would i order these from?

It'll be a 6-32 30mm screw.

Don't see why these wouldn't fit.

They didn't fit on my hardware labs rads and overclockers said they would just take 1 of them too a hardware shop
