I'm on the hunt for a solid industrial CPU fan that can push out a ton of air. Noise isn't an issue for me since my room is already around 80dB due to my wall fan and the heavy traffic noise from the street outside. My main goal is to improve airflow and cooling, no matter how loud it gets. Any recommendations? Thanks!

If you're looking for powerful airflow, consider the Arctic P12 Max which can hit up to 3300 RPM. Noctua also makes some industrial fans with similar speeds. Just a heads up though, going past 1500 RPM might not yield much better cooling performance, so it could be a bit of a money sink for marginal gains.
Honestly, 80dB is really loud! If you’ve been exposed to that for a while, you might already be risking some hearing damage. Industrial fans are even louder and can produce a harsh high-pitched sound. Are you having actual cooling issues? If so, what temperatures are your CPU and GPU running at?
I measured using a decibel meter app, so it might not be perfectly accurate. But yeah, I'm just trying to get my temps down since the room gets pretty hot. I've seen reviews of the Peerless Assassin 120 showing temps around 22-26°C but my ambient temp is 35-38°C. That's why I'm looking at these fans!
