Which fans for MCR320 Radiator?

524 Views 10 Replies 8 Participants Last post by  Illusion Of Progress
This is currently a CPU-only loop, MCR320, MCP665. I was wondering what fans would be the most cost-effective for this radiator, without breaking the bank.. (Under $10..?) Also does this radiator work better with higher CFM or lower? I've heard different radiators perform differently.
Thanks!

The rad is designed to work well with lower cfm fans. It will always work better with high cfm fans, but they are not needed to get good results. I use medium speed yate loons, as suggested above.
yate loon, tri cools, ultra kaze 1k's and 2k's
Alright, thanks for the suggestions. I'm considering the Yate Loons now.
Are the 140mm Yate Loons any good? BTW, If alot of people seem to like these, what are the pros and cons and why are they cheap compared to other top of the line fans?
yeah some yate loons medium speed are great, also scythe s-flex would work great too

I have some Xigmatek 120MM XLF-F1253 LED on my MCR320.

They are quiet and are rated at 61CFM
Yates and S-Flex are very nice.
I use 38mm panaflos on the bottom and 25mm yates on the top.

Quiet maybe, but at 1600rpm, more like 30 cfm.

Take a look at Martins rad calc's for that rad.Radiator Thermals and Radiator Calculators - Martin ..Punch in the heat dump from your CPU and the RPM of the fans that you want to use...A little bar graph will pop up on the bottom, thats your rad out to ambient delts. Keep that at 5C and under for good OC temp's, the lower the better of course. CPU Wattage Calc

Me personally I'd use at least this size fan on any rad...86cfm Pana

120x38mm fans have a higher static pressure and better scavange air through the rad.
Thanks for the suggestions. I went with 3 low speed and 3 normal yate loons. Hopefully they will serve me well


BTW, I love that radiator and was planning on doing mine the same, how did you strip the paint without it getting all messy inside the fins?
