Noiseblocker on the mega shadow

I was going to go for the 2 gentle typhoons in push pull but they are so damn ugly(i know, i'm completely vain) and i'm going to have a side window


These are much better looking and are made by a very good company. I'm just wondering if these would go good on my mega shadow. The ideal cfm for the megahalem is 57. These are 58. The static pressure is 1.044 mm-H2O, which isn't that great but it's not terrible.

Will these fans be enough to keep my overclocked 920 cool? I'm not trying to break any records here, just probably to 3.6 or so.

If you have other suggestions of fans that perform well but aren't ugly, let me know. And I don't want led fans.

Thanks guys.

AFAIK setting them up as a push-pull is supposed to somewhat compensate for lack of static pressure, so you should be good.
I don't think anyone on this forum here uses Noiseblocker fans, but other forums suggest they are good fans to use and pretty quiet, but the price is high compared to other 25mm fans.
Noiseblockers are very good fans, just use one of them on the Mega Shadow and you'll be good to go.

A push/pull setup would give me better temps though. I'm going for a near silent setup and I don't really care how much it costs as long as it lasts for awhile and it is a really good fan. I'm thinking about doing my entire system with those noiseblockers


would one fan really be the best option?

Yeah. Prolimatech owners seem to overestimate airflow requirements, any 38mm thick fan or any quality 25mm fan will be quite enough.

would you do push or pull if you end up just using one fan?

Generally people do push rather than pull.
