fan recommendations??

[makavelijm]

hey im going to be replacing my current coolermaster fans with faster fans, im just wondering if the Scythe SlipStream Fan 1900rpm is a good idea as they will need to be placed upside down in a horizontal position for my top rad in a pull configuration?
These fans will be on a fan controller so noise shouldn't be a problem until i start benchmarking.

Has anyone had any problems with these fans in the past?

thanks,

get ball bearing ones for any placement
sleeve for vertical only

scythe flex if you want higher airflow than GT ones

thanks for the recommendation, do you think that static pressure is more important than having a high CFM as these fans are going to be used on radiators (feser 480 and MCR420) ?

yes, in one of the ways ... rad fins + rad thickness, creates the restriction for airflow ...
the fan blade design + rpm is creates static pressure.
static pressure is needed to push the air through ... anyhow, if also possible to determine good static pressure axial fans by checking out those fan tested on aircooling heatsinks, their fins are much dense packed
