What is a good RPM for a case fan?

What is a good RPM for a case fan?

1200 rpm is not particularly noisy. 2000 rpm might be tolerable. Even 6000 rpm might be possible, A 2000 rpm normal fan might be $12.

What is the highest RPM PC fan?

Corsair ML120 PRO makes use of a Magnetic Bearing that is the first of its type. So, this new bearing improves performance and gives the fan a longer lifespan. This PWM fan can spin at up to 2000 RPM. It is loud at the highest speed and has a noise degree score of 37 dBA at complete RPM.

Is a higher RPM fan better?

Fans cool by moving air, which is measured in Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM). The is the only metric of its effectiveness. RPM is how fast the fan spins to make those CFMs. Lower RPM usually means quieter, but blade design and the enclosure have more to do with it.

Is higher RPM better for case fans?

Usually around about 900ish rpm, fans will create enough noise to be somewhat audible, and the higher the rpm, the louder that gets.

Is 1000 RPM good for case fan?

The higher the RPM, the more noisier it is. It’s also better for a cool build. A 1000rpm fan is a bit low, as most standard case fans are anywhere from 1400-1600rpm, and you’d use a 1000rpm fan for a non-intensive work or leisure computer.

Does more RPM mean more cooling?

OP, the short answer to your question is that yes, by far the single biggest determination in the cooling performance of a rad fan will be the RPM. The best fan in the world running at 1000RPM will never cool as well as a crappy fan at 2000RPM (assume same size fan).

Do case fans make a big difference?

Yes they make quite a bit of difference. I would add two 120mm intakes to the front and a 140mm top exhaust.

Does RPM matter case fans?

How many PC fans is too many?

Two fans are usually enough. Two more may see a max 2-3 degree drop in temperature. Benefit of any more fans is usually negligible. Keep in mind the GPU/CPU have their own fans which benefit from a well-designed airflow from the case fans.

Do case fans help cool GPU?

If your case allows it, install fans pushing air upwards towards your GPU on the bottom. This will give cool air directly to the intake fans on the GPU itself. If your case doesn’t allow that configuration, have a front intake fan coupled with proper top or rear exhaust fans, as described previously.
