Best 120mm Fans?

[XeNoN89]

Will be putting 2 on front of an antec 300, dont mind how loud they are aslong as they dont sound like a plane taking off.

No Deltas then . . .

Depends what you are after. For Silence, you cant go wrong with yate loons or Noctuas. For Airflow, the Delta is king. But eats small furry animals like a jet engine.

Noctua or Xilence Redwings

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...name=Xilence XPF120R Red Wing 120mm Quiet Fan

Great fans and very quiet.

 

[Wiggins]

Yate Loon D12SL-12.

Always been a winner for me. I have 6 of them in my case and on my cpu heatsink and all is cool.

I have both Yate Loons and the Xilence and they are excellent fans, well worth getting.

I also swear by sharkoon 1000rpm: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-005-SH&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=4&name=Sharkoon%20Silent%20Eagle%201000%20120mm%20Fan%20-%203/4%20Pin

Very quiet and seem to provide pretty decent airflow.

Yate Loons are nice.. so are the sharkoon silent eagle range.. best to buy something a little beefy and under volt it (you can use speedfan).. then you have a bit of omph when you need it..

the mid range 120mm delta's are perfectly good case and heatsink fans as they can be controlled from most motherboard 3pin headers without frying them.. although you cant get them in the UK (to my knowledge)

another vote for Yate Loons

 

[Roeg1]

my vote goes for Noctua NF-P12 120mm Silent Case Fan - 3 Pin

 

[booyaka]

yate loon for me - replaced the Antec 900 fans with these and what a difference - running a 1000rpm and they are almost silent

 

[AbsenceJam]

The Scythe Slipstream M's. Better than Nexus (Yate Loon) and definitely better than Noctua.

 

[Yewen]

Yate Loon D12SL-12.

Always been a winner for me. I have 6 of them in my case and on my cpu heatsink and all is cool.

Get my vote too, classic fan that just does what it sets out to do well.

Remember to always buy rubber mounts for your fans, makes a hell of a difference in noise levels I've found.

i've just (last night) installed 3 x noctua nf-s12 fans in the side of my coolermaster stacker 832... all is well, very quiet...just need to find a way of controlling them now.

PS: for anyone else thinking about doing the same, the fan mounts on the case side door are great except the dust filters seem to stop air flow dramatically, so i just took mine off and mounted the fans with the rubber gromets onto the plastic x frame..

antec tri cool or delta

Depends if you want LED fans.

Non-LED - Xilence Red wings
LED - AC Ryan Blackfire4 (Come in off colours with UVLED's) or Xilence 120TR's (Which come in nice colours)
