Default Re: How to choose the optimal 120mm fan?

Is there a general rule of how much static pressure mmH2O is enough for radiatorcooling or do I miss other factors?
There's a Coolermaster fan - 120x38mm, 1200RPM (wee), 56CFM and a static pressure of 1,40 mmH2O - is this good for a radiator like PA120.1 or Swiftech MCR120.
- Coolermaster fan link

Is the static pressure proportional so if it's "1" at 2000RPM it's "0,5" at 1000RPM?

Am I wrong if I assume that the more static pressure per RPM a fan makes the better is it for radiatorcooling?

I know, but the heatercores like Chevy86 where a good choice because they had low water and air resistance, but they are to thick for low CFM fans.
