I already went ahead and bought the smaller one. I saw the discussions on the higher RPM. thanks for the replies gents.

I saw this exact fan on Amazon as you have posted. I also viewed the 120mm fan. I have a 2L flask coming my way and was wondering if maybe the bigger fan would be more wide and stronger for the larger flask? No worries if you cant provide a definite answer. Clean build my friend. This post is a...
