    Fan for a radiator

    Which 120mm fans are best for a radiator? I was looking at the scythe gentle typhoon but the large central hub makes me think that a big dead spot isn't going to help with the radiator performance. Any thoughts?

    Thanks, Nick.

    Gentle Typhoons are probably the best 25mm fan you could get, their high amount of static pressure is good for the radiators.

    What radiator is it, as some radiators are suited to high flow fans, whilst others are the opposite.

    Corsair h50. Using the default fan at the front of the case (an antec 300). I saw that they still get 50 cfm through a radiator but I was worried about the big area in the middle which would not get any air.
