I have the corsair H60 in a silverstone ft02 (radiator is placed horizontal on the top with airflow directed from the bottom of the case out through the top). I'm looking to replace the stock fan, which I find rather noisy with a push-pull setup.

I've noted the following 3 as options:

Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120mm x 25mm Fan - 1850 RPM
Noctua NF-F12 PWM
Enermax T.B. Silence 120mm x 25mm "Twister Bearing" Fan

I would love to hear feedback on what would work best with my setup taking into account the need for high static pressue for the radiator, cooling and reduced noise.

thanks!

get nf-f12s and call it done...

If you have a fan controller, I would recommend 120x3 fans. They will have better static pressure than a 120x25 fan at equivalent speeds.

I'll plug them in directly to my motherboard, asus sabertooth x79 and control speeds through UEFI/OS. This should work with the thicker fans, right? Any recommendations for 120x30mm fans? Thanks!

I ordered two Noctua NF-F12 PWM, look forward to hearing how they turn out!
