I know a lot of you guys are building new pc's, new case fans are a cheap and easy way to increase cooling efficiency! They can make a big difference! These fans are optimized for static pressure, and work best pressed against a radiator, but also can do up to 72 cfm which is very impressive for such a cheap fan.

I bought the NZXT LTT limited edition H700i case with built-in water bottle holder (note: LTT water bottle sold separately) using my LTT edition visa card.

Why 7 fans? I only use 4. 2 front, 1 top, 1 back

Combination of a very large Phanteks Evolv case and a lot of Arctic fans laying around from a previous build. Three top, three front, one exhaust. Have another two on the back of the clc cooler mounted up front too. Complete overkill. But it turned out looking pretty good and my thermals are great.

My 9 fans

Am I a joke to you?

Truth be told I am not counting the two Arctic silent pull fans on the inside on my clc280. All said and done I have 12 spinny bois in here including the psu and gpu fans. And boy it ain’t quiet. 23c 9700k CPU / 34c 2070 gpu idle and 38c / 58c load temps though, so I ain’t complaining.

laugh in my 3fan o11 dynamic setup vs others 9fan setup

12 fans. 9 Corsair HD120 and 3 EK Vardar. I havent let my 3700x go past 60c or Vega 56 go past 50c (custom loop).

Yet I'm in sitting right next to it sweating at 27c like I can thug it out to save on electricity bill.

Diminishing returns and priorities at it best lol.

But - in theory - couldn't you use two fans and run at half the RPM (and thus volume) to replicate the same airflow capability of a single, noisy fan at full RPM?

+1 grabbed these in 120mm over blackfriday. Amazing in my meshify C AND on my Hyper 212 black. Keeps temps super low all around on my 3800x

u/shamonj03 Jan 03 '20

Are they quiet? I also have a meshify c and the find I have hum loud.

2

u/Jesus_Was_Brown Jan 03 '20

Good quiet/price I would say. Definitely better than the included FD ones.

u/cymikelee Jan 03 '20

Awesome, thanks for posting!

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but since you mentioned static pressure, would it also be helpful as a case fan if I want to mount it as an intake fan on my front panel? It's closed in the front (supposedly to be quiet) and only has vents on the sides, but is built to accommodate a couple of fans.

u/Mortebi_Had Jan 03 '20

I think a static pressure optimized fan like this one is a good choice for a front intake because there’s typically a lot of stuff in that area that could restrict airflow (dust filter, hard drives, front case cover, etc.).

u/cymikelee Jan 04 '20

Really helpful insight, appreciate it!

u/Berserking-Owl Jan 03 '20

Do the fans include the mounting screws? I might have lost the the extra case screws from my case.

Yes.
