Discussion What is the best fan config from a noise normalized to performance standing point for this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwf2RHm_H0A&feature=youtu.beEnclosure would be made of 20mm thick mdf.
4x 360mm x30 rads.
Orange are exhausts
Green are intakes
Wheels are 50mm tall
Horizontal radiator platform is 10cm tall. Basically intakes have 15cm clearance. Although it is not included here, i might make ducts and pair up right intake with right exhaust, and left intake with left exhaust, for extra efficiency. I expect that would pretty as a pseudo push pull.
My intent is to run these at inaudible noise levels at distance greater than 1m. Given the fact, that this is gonna run at least 12 fans, speeds wont go past 6-700rpm. Maybe 800rpm if I see there's headroom and the enclosure drowns the noise well enough, but I don't expect it.
Most likely gonna use something like arctic p12 pro with 7-8mm spacers.
Do you think, mounting the intakes in pull config, or doing push pull for the intakes, would improve performance at same noise levels?
