120mm Fan - Recommendations

ndeller · 11 Dec 2007 at 13:57

Hi,

Just setup my new rig and have realised that the case (Antec P182) didnt come with front fans, so just looking into 120mm fans. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I was thinking about the Arctic Cooling brand as Im using the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPUCooler at the moment and thought I may as well keep my cooling of same brand but dont suppose it really matters.

Cheers
Nick

delta if you want pure power wiothout regards to noise (they are very noisy fans)

sharkoons apparantly have a good airflow to noise ratio

The Noctuas are supposed to be good

If you want quiet fans, then take a look at the Vantec Stealth ones, they should do the trick

I have 4 x 120mm (and 1 x 200mm!) Antec TriCool fans in my 900 case. Generally quiet as you can expect, I keep the HDD bay fans on low and the rest on med/high, case is super cool always.

Sharkoons are Good... or delta for pure power... if you buying delta best find the american site that stock the whole range

I'm using Noctua's, best fans I've used (quiet but effective), but never tried Sharkoons. Anyone tried both and could tell a difference?

Yate Loon D12SL-12. Pretty much the best value fans out there, and completely silent at 7V.

Vote for scythe s flex here, a bit more expensive but I think its worth it

Another vote for Scythe S-Flex. Check out their new Slipstream models....
