Quick Question.. Which 99 fans pull more air??

I need to know which 99 fan blades pull more air.. i thought it was the 7 not the 5?? Someone correct me if I'm wrong..

Also, 4 blades pulls more than 5 on the 93+ fans, Correct?

I'm getting confused at my old age...

The number of blades doesn't necessarily mean it pulls more CFM.

I looked into this mod as well and never saw anyone with any real data showing more CFM from the '99 blades verses the '93-95 ones. What is for sure is that the '99 blades do draw less current.

treceb,

thanks for that link.. I guess I'm still in search which might pull better. I know 4 blade pulls more air than 5 blade.. But maybe somehow the 7 blade pulls more. I guess I'll just go ahead and buy two of them and try it out.

I'm currently running 2 x 4 blade fans for my FMIC'd radiator.
