brandon02852 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I have been doing some research and have heard that fans with higher static pressure are the best when using dust filters. Since the SP series fans have more static pressure than the AF series fans, should I opt to use the SP's over the AF's as intake in my Obsidian 550D? I am using dust filters on the intake.

Okay that sounds reasonable. Would it matter if I have the fans on the outside or inside of the dust filter outside meaning pushing air through the dust filter inside meaning pulling air through the dust filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 i dont think that would matter but the fan would trap dirt if on the air side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excaka Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 i have the same case as well, should i just use all sp120's on my case? was going with the h100i, use that as exhaust as well as the top back fan as exhaust. then intake on the two fronts, as well as two 120's on the side for intake?
