Who makes the best radiator fans and why is it Corsair?
Corsair is shit.
Want best fans? Noctua
Want excelent fans that are not poo colored? BeQuiet
Want led light fans? Thermaltake Riing
Anything else is waste of money
>>54356484
Noctua makes gray fans. It's true.
>>54356491
they also do black for the industrial version.
Or if you're a large company you can place a custom order and they can do whatever color gets you to cum fastest.

The Noctua industrial model has a similar RPM curve and top performance, but the Noctua comes with a 6 year warranty.
Noctua would still get my money here.
>>54356576
Who cares? It's ugly.
the shit do I get 4pin fans for mobored power
>>54356576
For years YEARS we have been begging that company to make a fan that doesn't have shit brown. They finally put out a new color and guess what? IT STILL HAS SHIT BROWN IN IT.
I've never heard of a company that has it's own head further up it's own ass than Noctua. They are intentionally ignoring their customers wishes. IT's so fucking stupid.

Meh, the biggest downside to the consumer model is the cream brown, the black with dark brown accents would barely even be visible in most cases.
8/10 would buy.

Or grey or black depending on the version.
The black industrial in a dark case look like any other regular black plastic fan.
I'll take the brown corners for a 6 year warranty.

Again, in a dark case you'll never see it unless you have LEDs right on the fans.
Also, it's in the corners, not the entire fan or the fan blades like the consumer edition.

So, how much salary do you make working for Noctua?
I mean, you wouldn't be so autistic as to put this much effort into defending the reputation the product of a company to which you have no financial affiliation, would you?
>>54356652
Wow, a build that would have looked infinitely better WITHOUT the custom loop...
>>54357414
what goal post? I was never talking about the consumer version and your review references the consumer version.
Literally my first post in this thread is a picture of the industrial version, that's all i've been talking about the entire time. Im sorry you werent paying attention.
>>54357432
Kek, they have a 6 year warranty and performance figures that are better than or match literally everything else.
Why would I buy one of the others when they have worse warranties?
I'm not saying they aren't good fans too, but the Noctuas are obviously a bit better, or at least come with a better warranty.
>>54357452
Get taste. You clearly have none.
>>54356652
I have that case and it's awesome. Plastic window might look a bit tacky from some angles and it gets dirty easily (fingerprints, dust, scratches too). Otherwise solid and very aesthetic. The read fan is a bit too loud for my taste. The white color looks like garbage so do toe LEDs. Get a different color.

>>54356484
I bet you don't even detatch your fan blades for maximum cleaning
We don't need a general for fans, for fuck's sake.
Buy Noctua if you have money, buy Fractal if you don't, buy Vardar for radiators.
You're welcome.
I am building my first liquid cooled (AIO) PC and was wondering if I needed high static pressure or high CFM if I was going to run the radiator in pull configuration.
Can anyone recommend a 120mm radiator that would be good for a pull configuration?
>>54358359
You misspelled Phanteks
>>54356775
Chink Shit Gen had a anon post about finding them off TaoBao
Yate loon masterrace
>>54359703
Yeah you can find them, but not super regularly, and I would question the authenticity of fans found on TaoBao, though they certainly could be legit.
>>54359799
They're legit >>54336054
>>54359898
That's good to know, I personally would still probably use Noctua iPPC-2000 or 3000, but it's good to know you can still get gentle typhoons.
Are airflow fans better than pressure fans for a pull configuration?
>>54358490
Either is fine. Noctua<-Phanteks<-Fractal<-Cooler Master/Corsair
Vardar for radiators, ThermalRight or Noctua for air coolers

This seems about right, actually.

Please show many any test that claims Noctua out performs Scythe Ultra Kaze
>>54361001
I'm talking about the NF-12F iPPC 3000
Not the normal consumer version, just because someone is talking about noctua, doesn't mean they're talking about the 1500rpm consumer versions.
It would be retarded to compare 1500rpm consumer version to the 3000rpm Ultra Kaze.
>>54361063
>confirmed for retarded
We are in agreement.
>>54361078
my argument was never for the consumer version, soooo....
You're like the third person to have this argument with me IN THIS THREAD.
Every time I keep saying i'm talking about the industrial version with 3000rpm. But no one fucking listens.
>>54361063
This is a cop out. The ultra kaze only costs $16.50
>>54356484
this, but switch out bequiet with noiseblocker.
>>54361093
its not a cop out, and the ultra kaze have a 2 year warranty vs. the 6 year warranty on the Noctuas.
Not to mention the built in anti vibration pads on the noctuas. They cost more, but you get more too.
>>54361132
Who the fuck gives a shit about a warranty for a $20 product? You'll spend half the cost of the fan shipping it to the Manufacturer if you're ever dumb enough to try and use the warrant.
Warranties are for products that cost several hundred dollars moron.
>>54361175
For a fan? You'll spend $5 shipping it, i've done it with a noctua before, they ship you back a new one free.
Why would you not want a replacement for $5?
>>54361201
>i've done it with a noctua before
oh have you now.
>>54361226
lol
>>54361201
tell us more about how you had to return your superior fan to Noctua, fan boi
>>54361249
I build a lot of systems, eventually you get a faulty product. I had one fan of 12 fail within a month, had an annoying whine.
Shipped it back got a new one that was fine.
>>54360829
This is a good list.
idk the fans that came with the rosewill FBM-01 are quiet as fuck
I have two BitFenix ones in the front, the stock Antec ones on the top and back, and a corsair one on the side. They all do the same thing. A fan's a fan
Cougar Vortex 120/140mm. $15-$17. On par with Noctua in terms of performance and reliability for half the price. Noctua makes great fans, but they're not the end all be all.
>>54361611
But if your computer blows up, Noctua will replace it for $5. They'll send a porn star of your choice to deliver it nude and who will crawl under your computer desk and suck your dick as often as you want for an entire week.
linus is aging pretty fast tbqh. what's up with that?
>>54362119

There's your answer
Black males don't age as quickly, look better, and are stronger

>>54359389
>far and away the best answer. rip in pieces gentle typhoon...
I just buy cooler master because its the only case fans they are always instock and they look nice and good airflow on the case fans or be quiet.
but that is more for personal reasons than being the best.
>>54367796
>yfw the Fury X uses a revived Gentle Typhoon on its radiator
What do you guys think of these Noiseblocker NB-eLoop?
Quiet, solid air flow, decent price. Seem like a good pick.
>>54368872
Apparently these are absolute static pressure monsters, which makes them ideal radiator fans.
I've been eyeing the 140mm versions for my build for a while now, but they're stupid fucking expensive where I live. Might have to settle for dual 120s as my intake.
>>54366639
They're decent.
>>54356071
Corsair fans are shite.
Thermalright is where its at if price/performance is the deal
Cheaper than noctua, same or better performance

Thanks.
I didn't want to leave a comment with the image since the image itself does the talking.
Bought one because it was the last in stock when I built my $1450 water cooling setup.
You know just for fun.
I don't really use it but it's fun to show it to people just how fast it is.

>immediate noctua shilling
Thanks Linus
Noctua coolers have not been the best available for quite a while now
And there are less expensive fans with the same noise and performance levels
Anyone buying noctua now outside of getting a very specific heat sink form factor is just wasting their money
Especially still buying their high end coolers. The R1 Ultimate for example blows their top level heatsinks the fuck out and it looks better too
>>54370259
>Noctua coolers have not been the best available for quite a while now
>lying on the internet
Noise Blocker makes the best rad fan. Noctua's have a bet of tick when you undervolt them
>>54368872
They are fine as long as you don't have em in pull. They gotta be on the rad as push.
I prefer pull because the rad itself becomes the dust filter so no additional filters are needed. More filters you add the less air flow you get
>>54364703
I agree. He speaks well in front of the camera.
>>54357051
squeak squeak that's the sound of Vardar
>>54370408
Do you have a recommendation for the best 140mm fans to use in pull-only configurations?
I'm a bit of a fan whore. In my PC I'm using both Nidec Servo Gentle Typhoon AP-15 PWM's and Sanyo Denki San Ace 120 PWM's. I really can't decide which I love more.
>>54370703
Noise Blocker 140s. My next build will have a 280 rad in it, already tested the PK-1 for the job.
My current build for the record. I tested every major fan you can name. I think the noise blocker is the best "quiet" fan around.
NB eloops would be number 2 but only when in push but like I said I don't like push. Id rather have all pull and run + pressure in my case to keep dust down
>>54358332
Underrated fans, Imo.
Shark fans?? I've used a few of them and my only complaint was their wooshing noise
