120mm Fans with high static pressure...

[blackphoenix]

I'm looking to change out the fan on my Antec Kuhler 620.

I've picked up the mounting hardware (screws) to mount a second fan, but having a hard time finding some good ones that are 25mm (think that is the desired fan thickness) with good static pressure.

I first looked at some Noctuas, but the NF-P12 120mm fan is only rated for 1.68mm H2O.

My issue is, supposely, the Antec 120mm fan that comes with the Kuhler is rated around 3.3mm H20.

Anyone have some good suggestions to replace the default fan with a push/pull?
At this point it seems it would take two NF-P12s to match the single default fan.

Thanks!

What are your concerns when it comes to noise? Do you have any?

Gentle Typhoons are something worth checking out. Move good amount of air and I believe have good pressure. Sometimes hard to find.

I'm looking for a little bit of a balance, but mostly performance.

I looked at the Gentle Typhoons but couldn't find an actual rating on them for static pressure, lots of posts saying "they're great" but no rating.

That and they're a little hard to find.

I have a Corsair h60 which came with one fan that was too loud for me. I replaced it with two Akasa Apache Blacks in push-pull.

These fans are very quiet, I cant hear them unless I put my ear up to the case. They are PWM and rated at 2.64mm H20

I will say they are rated at 57.53 cfm which is less than Corsair recommends. But with two I get about the same temps as I did with the Corsair screamer.

The GT-15 (1850 RPM) version of the Gentle Typhoons are rated at 20 pa of static pressure, or ~2.0 mm H20. This is the industrial spec, found on the spec sheet from Nidec here.

There are some very impressive fan roundups on overclock.net by Martinm210. The Gentle Typhoon series is the overall best in noise-to-performance. If you're looking for pure performance, there are better, but if noise is a concern, it is very hard to beat GT's on a radiator.

Gentle typhoon 1850rpm. I have three of them on my 3x120mm radiator. I can't give you numbers but how much air they move and how quietly they are is incredible.

Might want to look at the Delta EFB line, three blade fans. They have high static pressure and depending on which model you go with, decent noise. Sidewindercomputers is about the only place I've ever found them. They have a low speed model rated at 75 CFM, 34DB (they claim its quieter than that) and has 4mm H20 pressure.

Opps, sorry these are 38mm thick.
