140mm fans for Cooler Master 690 II Advanced ?

Marine-RX179 · 5 Oct 2010 at 11:50

Still in the middle of considering getting the Cooler Master 690 II Advanced, and is thinking about the fans to get at the moment. Ideally offer reasonable airflow, quiet doesn't cost more than £10 each.

Need two for intake at side-panel (which ideally I would like to have blue-LED), and one for exhaust at top.

Fans I'm considering at the moment:

Non-LED:
Cooler Master Silent 140mm

Akasa 14cm Emperor Blue
Silent. 13, 13.5 and 14cm mountings

Blue-LED:
Could really do with some recommendations...as I can't find any decent one, and can't find Cooler Master Silent 140mm Blue LED at reasonable price in UK delivered...

I'm open to suggestions.

I know they are £12, but I have 3 of these and one 120mm version in my CM-690 and I cant hear them. Very quiet and they have really helped my airflow.

Thanks for the link stulid. After looking through the comparison, I'm leening toward the Thermalright TY-140 at the moment with it being low noise, high airflow, PWM and for just around £7.50.

My only concern with it is while the fan is 140mm, the mount holes themselves are 120mm, meaning that I would have to use 120mm dust fillter rather than the 140mm dust filter. If I was to use the 120mm dust filter, would there be "gaps" around the edge/border which the fan might draw the dust in?
