What 120mm fans for my rad?

Zanna · 4 Dec 2008 at 13:39

I'm currently using a few pretty rubbish fans (the ones that came with my swiftech watercooling kit) with my swiftech rad at the minute but i'm looking to change them.
I was hoping to find something quiet, yet that moves quite a bit of air on a push/pull setup. So far my choices are either the Xilence Red Wings or some Yate Loon D12SL-12 (probably run the yate loons at 7v) but i was hoping someone could give me some advice on what i should do.

Thanks

I was told to clear well clear of the red wings. Yates ***.

Just ordered 7 of those Yates for my rad and some case fans. Although I also have some red wings, and they are pretty good.

I have 3x yate loons in my antec 300, they're excellent fans.

I have a couple of Xilence 120mm red wings in my case (not on a radiator) and they're pretty decent.

What about Sharkoon 1000 LED "Golf Ball"? I've got one for side intake and it's really quite

They are good, but a bit more expensive.

these:

Xigmatek XLF-F1253

seem to be getting pretty good reviews in CC

also, they look FANTASTIC:

Those xigmatec ones are awesome. Make the yate loons sound like jet engines

Here's mine spinning round.

I too have the xilence redwings and honestly have no problems with them at all.

They are very quiet and push enough air for my needs...very cheap too.

I suppose you would have to look at the price - performance ratio to get a good idea of what you want.
