I currently have some of the ultra high speed 120mm panaflo fans for my rads, and am wondering what would be some better suited fans for my current radiators.
Rad 1 is a TFC 480mm
Rad 2 is a TC 360mm
I'll be using a fan controller for all of the fans, so PWM is not a huge priority.
What sort of brands of fans should i be looking at for these rads?
Cheers
Have you looked through this yet? It was a great starting block for me when I was picking out fans. I am using the Gentle Typhoons 1850 rpms on my Swifty MCR220-QP and they work great. They are also nice and quiet
I am not certain how ideal they are for your set up though
Project Millertime: The Core I5 build
Crunching/folding box on air: AMD Athlon X2 7750 Black Edition; Sapphire Radeon HD 4830; Gigabyte MA78GM-US2H; Lian Li PC-V351; Windows 7 RC
both of those rads work well w/ low - med speed fans. i'd suggest any 120x25mm fans spinning between 1300-1600rpm.
in this economy i'd go with YL's you just can't beat their price/performance
Scythe S Flex 1200 or 1600 RPM versions wil work well on those rads.
Scythe S-Flex series or Nocuta NF-P12s I find work great on rads if you're concerned about silence. Otherwise, look at the Delta tri-blade fans (stocked by Sidewinder) - they don't have the best CFM/dBA ratio, but they have great static pressure - important for airflow through rads.

with pa120.3 and 300w load i have air-water delta 10C with 800 rpm fans and 8C with 1100 rpm fans
if i would use fans at 1600 rpm i think i got 6C or less
so i'd recommend fans with max 1600rpm

Like people have said it's about the YL from pts, S-flex, GT and ZM-F3's. All good fans. It's personal preferrence that seperates them. Personally I'd go for the s-flex or GT. Mine are inaudible
