131cfm 120mm fan

[soccrstar]

hello right now i got a 120mm fan @ 98cm on my radiator.
if i waz to remove it and add a 131cfm fan on it. would it increase cooling (heat dispiation?) or make no difference at all?

It really depends on your current water temps....for two reasons.

The effectiveness of your radiator (and fan) increases with higher water temps, and decreases with lower water temps. Once your water temps begin nearing ambient room temp, it becomes harder to cool. You may find that if your water temps are already good (under 32c or so) adding a higher cfm fan might only help a little.

Also you will find little impact on the CPU cooling if your water temps are already good.

However, if your water temps are high (above 32c or so), a higher cfm fan fan may definitely help you.
