not necessarily...
for hypothetical purposes…
you could take a 120mm fan and attach a funnel on it going down to 10mm…
you would have a lot of air and moving through that 10mm pipe..
it doesn’t mean that I could only use 10mm fan…

as Butcher stated it would be better to have 172mm fan… even if the pipe is only 60mm
more air… more pressure. Also 172 mm fan under volted will provide the more air you need with a lower db.
