Which way works better, what’s the advantages/disadvantages of both setups.
EDIT: It’s for a Notorious if that makes any difference ??

Why do use use the stands? Genuinely curiousDepends on the rig. On my Typhon 6s I don’t have space for the standoffs. On my speed GT cars, I do space and raise them up.
Posted a video of the noise it makes on my build threadDon't make me think about edf's in my Mojave, I am not taking apart my F-22!
This, and for those who don't know what static pressure means Google itBoth are fine but if you can space them out, the better. Not all fans have good static pressure and they lose cfm. It clearly says you get ‘higher’ air flow when raised on the manual.
Because the body is right there and I don’t have clearance.I don't think stands are helpful, having air forced across thos fins is the best idea.

Oh, so putting the stands on helps with clearance more than anything?Because the body is right there and I don’t have clearance.
The stands help spread the air from the fans around the sides more and have less static pressure. It makes the fans taller, which won’t fit under the Typhon body.Oh, so putting the stands on helps with clearance more than anything?
Basically if you don’t use stands, a lot of the fan’s air deflects off the motor and hits the fan in the face, causing it to operate slower because it’s fighting itself.I don't think stands are helpful, having air forced across thos fins is the best idea.

That all depends on how the fan blades are spaced. Some are designed for higher static pressure and are fine mounted close. Others will choke as you say. The more space between blades means it can handle the static pressure.Basically if you don’t use stands, a lot of the fan’s air deflects off the motor and hits the fan in the face, causing it to operate slower because it’s fighting itself.
Ah I got you. But theoretically won’t a fan with widely spaced blades still provide more air when it’s spaced away... just not as dramatic of a result as one more sensitive to choking?That all depends on how the fan blades are spaced.

There’s a fine line where if the blades are too far apart that it doesn’t move as much air. So you want them as tightly spaced as your environment allows due to static pressure. When you have a fan made for static pressure, it usually runs faster to make up for the loss. This means more power drawn. There’s always a trade off.Ah I got you.
