Hi all,
My current setup in a P350X case is a front mounted 240mm radiator with 2x Blacknoise PL-PS fans pushing air through.
I have an Akasa AK-FN059 as the rear exhaust set to 800RPM so it is silent and the stock Phanteks fan as a top exhaust also around 700RPM.
I was wondering since I have an old spare AK-FN059 would it be better to have these as the 2 radiator fans as they have 2.98 mm H2O static pressure vs the 1.42 mm max of the PL-PS? Obviously the PL-PS are supposed to be quieter but that's a potential 52% increase in pressure.
Or would I be better off putting 2 Noctua NF-A12x25 as the radiator fans, proving to run quiet and rated at 2.34 mm H2O SP.
Fan Overview
AK-FN059: 83.63CFM / 2.98mm H2O / 28.9 dBA
NF-A12x25: 60CFM / 2.34mm H2O / 22.6 dBA
Blacknoise PL-PS: 50CFM (I think) / 1.42mm H2O / 23.7 dBA
