Best cfm 120mm fans - not delta's!

tbh · 13 Oct 2007 at 01:14

Just noticed that Thermaltake do a 130mm fan that fits in a 120mm case slot. The numbers they are claiming for it look good if accurate:

Thermaltake Silent Wheel A2330 130mm Case Fan
Air Flow 54.4 CFM
Noise 16 dBA

I'd say balony. TT 12cm states 21dB, but it's much louder than that.

The customer reviews on the US site I saw it on all seem to say that it is very quiet and has good airflow, so in this case the numbers just might be accurate...

the "cheap-as-chips" review websites often give every product the Thumbs up, because they get more free products that way.
Customer reviews are seldom any better

scythe sflex 1600 is your best bet.

Nope, I thought undervolting that beast would give me a good balance.

I was wrong.

I now have Globes and Panaflos in my case, and they work brilliantly.

Thats the best fan i've ever bought, and I would happily buy another one. 7V was not that loud, and still pushed a lot of air.

scythe s-flex 1600 or sharkoon eagle 2000, panaflo L1a are great too if you can get them. any of those with a fan controller would be a great setup.

Would anyone recommend this? Its also to replace some case fans.

I have one of those in my Antec 900 (it's in the "air tunnel"), seems to produce good airflow and not be too noisy.

Thanks.

Anyone with Arctic Cooling 12025L?

** UPDATE **

Got 2 x 120mmSharkoon Silent Eagle 2000's, and a 80mm one too, along with an akasa fan controller.

Sorted my cables, moved a few fews around in the case, and I now have my cpu idle temps down by about 4/5 degrees, and my gpu down by about 5/7 degrees underload. Chuffed!!!

Thanks for advice all
