Fan question for rad
Hello guys, I'm going to buy 2 hardware labs nemesis gts 360 for an hypothetical 5930k + 2 980ti, as I will use a ek d5 pwn pump, which fans are recommended for this radiator?
noctua nf f12? nb ELOOP? GT? I want silence without without losing too much performance. im going to control the fans with grid+ v2 becouse my evolv atx dont have any 5.255 bay
thank you.

Welcome to SPCR!!!!
Well from what i can see on the NZXT GRID+ V2 Digital Fan Controller REVIEW, seems to have only 3pin connectors, so my recommendation is to buy 3pin fans.
One the prefer watercooling fans in OC comunnity has been Scythe Gentle Typhoons, SPCR did review some of them on the Fan Roundup #6: Scythe, Noiseblocker, Antec, Nexus, Thermalright, almost all the undervolt well, so its up to you into how high you will them to do enough cooling or into how much noise you willing to take, either way, all of them undervolt well.
Scythe no longer is selling them, but their OEM (Nidec) is, Nidec Servo Gentle Typhoon D1225C12B5AP 120mm 1850 rpm Silent Case Fan.
Btw what motherboard you planning? it might be worth using motherboard headers with PWM splitter.

None, as the Nemesis GTXs are not meant for silence/quietness, whichever the fans.viridium wrote:Hello guys, I'm going to buy 2 hardware labs nemesis gtx 360... which fans are recommended for this radiator?

I think it is better to use the motherboard headers for the fans, I will use a x99 deluxe.Abula wrote:Welcome to SPCR!!!!

Impossible to predict, ocing is a lottery, so its just luck, personally i no longer overclock as it goes against what im trying to achieve, that said, if i were to go with water, i might.viridium wrote:do you think I will have a bit of oc margin ?
Re: Fan question for rad
yes asus x99 deluxe, i do not even know if I need a sli, I hope on a single card (polaris/pascal) can push my 3440x1440.
the d5 is quieter compared to the ddc right ?

I'm using Hardware Labs 'Black Ice SR1s' in my build with Noctua PWM fans.
Even if I didn't use a push-pull configuration, I doubt I'd ever need to make the fans spin fast enough to be audible.
