New Fan Idea!?

Wonderboy · Jan 21, 2003

I was thinking today about windtunnel design and thought about an idea to try. I wanted to run it by all of you first. Instead of having a radiator larger than the fan perhaps a fan larger than the radiator. Like having a 120 mm radiator and a 172 mm fan. This way the fan could be run at a low rpm and still draw plenty of air through the radiator.

quit bashing wonderboy, guys! (once or twice is funny, after that it's annoying.) It's a very good idea, wonderboy, very similar to the idea of using a fandapter for a HSF so you can use an 80mm fan on a 60mm HS.

In theory it sounds great. In actuality it is difficult to get a low-speed fan to push air through a smaller duct. The taper would have to be very gradual. Fans don't provide much pressure.

It'd be worth a try if you had the room in your case, though.

thanks neomoses. I think i'll put that idea on the back burner for now. i have other things to worry about besides comming up with some crazy mod. (like learning photoshop, or getting better with mspaint)

instead of the fan pushing through the radiator what about pulling? Or am i just pulling this idea out of my nether-regions?

i think a 172mm fan on a black ice micro would look funny...
