Radiator fan upgrade

[Rob94hawk]

I have the Swiftech H220 and the fans push 2.29 mmH20/55 cfm @ 1800 rpm.

I thought that was pretty darn good till I saw this Corsair fan:
http://www.corsair.com/us/cpu-cooling-kits/air-series-fans/air-series-sp120-high-performance-edition-high-static-pressure-120mm-fan.html

Airflow 62.74 CFM
Static Pressure 3.1 mm/H20
Sound Level 35 dBA
Speed 2350 RPM
Power Draw 0.18 A

An improvement or don't bother?

In many cases manufacturers lie in specs sheet data or game with testing methodics, with often weaker fan on paper doing better in real life. If you want to upgrade fans, imho it's worth to consider scythe gentle typhoons, but in general normal way to add cooling performance to LC is by adding more rads to loop (which fortunately in H220 case is much easier then in asetek/coolit/corsair and alikes).

I agree with Church. You really can't compare fans with specifications from the manufacturer. For 1800rpm or less you can't beat the Gentle Typhoon AP-15s.

Don't bother or at least review this.

Martinliquidlabs fan roundup 12 has corsairs high performance radiator fans and gentle typhoons 1800rpm and 2150rpm tested. Musicfan has a link to roundup 11. His website is the best site I have found for anything related to water cooling.
