A Fans

When selecting fans, it's crucial to consider the size that best fits your cooling requirements. Fans typically range from 80 mm to 140 mm in diameter. Larger fans often provide better airflow and operate more quietly, making them ideal for larger cases or setups where noise is a concern. However, ensure your case has enough space to accommodate them. Smaller fans can be effective in tight spaces but might produce more noise. Always check your case specifications before purchasing.

Understanding the difference between airflow and static pressure is key to choosing the right fan. Airflow fans are designed to move air efficiently and are best used in open areas of your case, such as exhaust or intake positions. Static pressure fans, on the other hand, are built to push air through obstructions like radiators or heatsinks. If you're building a system with liquid cooling or densely packed components, opt for static pressure fans for optimal performance.
