That being the case, I suspect 1 fan will do, or possibly 2 fans running really slow (more quiet?).Ĭlick to expand.When we are talking about fans for radiators, you need to stare at static pressure, not CFM. My old cooler (Zalman 9900 Max) needs to get RMA'd so I thought I'd try some novice water-cooling to get my feet wet. The stock i7 coolers are a cruel Intel joke. I may play around with it a little but I've yet to find stock speed disappointing for anything. I should probably mention I don't really plan to overclock this CPU. If there isn't, I plan to add something between fan & radiator to give it a good seal regardless of whether pushing or pulling. The OEM Corsair fan is rated at a pedestrian, 57 CFM.Īnother thing I was wondering is if there is some type of rubber (etc) seal on the radiator to ensure airflow is forced through the radiator (and not lost around the edges). I'm hoping the 15 blade fan I bought that (supposedly) pushes up to 107 CFM will do the trick on it's own. This is running with two fans,tried to play with push pull configuration and temps difference in my case is not worth effort as temps difference is only 3-5Cīut agree,replace fans for something better,I can only recommend Noctua NF-F12 PWM or Be Quiet Pure Wings 2 or BeQuiet Silent WingsĪppreciate it, I have some idea where to start now. Regarding push/pull I've tried few setups on my H100 like I've tried Noctua NF-F12(those fans has been probably quietest and with good performance),then I'm switched to BeQuiet Pure Wings 2 which have better cooling performance,but they're bit louder,usually I'm running 750-1000RPM,for normal day to day running they're set at 650RPM and for rendering I'm using 1000RPM and temps on my i7-4790k at 4.7GHz temps are in 60's(65C on hottest on core),idle is around 25-27C at lowest 650RPM and highest temps at 650RPM are during rendering in high 60's(on hottest core is in region 73C) On my case and previous cases,I've set fans at 650-750RPM as max,more RPM only makes more noise and temps are pretty much same,maybe difference of 2-5C which is not worth in my view at all Has anyone played around with pull vs push vs push/pull to see the cooling results? Appreciate any input or advice.
#Corsair h50 vs h60 install#
The board has a second CPU fan input and I think I have another set of long fan screws floating around to install both fans. I presume a push/pull config is the most efficient at cooling. That means I'll have the 120MM that comes with the Corsair H55 cooler and the new, red one. I already ordered a different 120MM (PWM), high CFM fan to match my red build. The front of the case has two 140MM intake fans running pretty slow and my rear radiator (and 1 or 2 120MM fans) controlled by CPU. I don't plan to reinstall that case fan anywhere.
I plan to remove the rear 140MM case fan and install the radiator back there. I'll be using this in a Corsair 760T (pretty spacious) to cool my 4790K (currently stock, 4.0ghz). It's my 1st time using a radiator style cooler. I have a new board ( Asrock Fatal1ty Z97 Killer), new SSD (500GB 850 Evo) and new cooler coming ( Corsair H55).
