Best 120mm fans

Bilbocard · 31 Jul 2011 at 22:08

I was wondering what the best 120mm fans for under £15 are.

I'm looking for low noise, efficient, high flow etc.

Thanks in advance,
Billy.

Scythe Gentle typhoons.

Thank you!

Hmmm... I couldn't seem to find them...

Bilbocard · 31 Jul 2011 at 22:21

Are there any decent 120mm fans on OcUK?

I'd just rather order it all from the same place, and a place I can trust.

This. If you want more performance, a Sanyo Denki San Ace or Delta would work perfectly well.

Akasa Apache is worth a look too.

I can't find the Scythe Gentle Typhoons on OcUK. I may just go with the Akasa Apaches

Thanks stulid, I'll get that fan! Thanks.

Is it worth replacing the default 120mm fan that comes with the case?

stulid · 31 Jul 2011 at 22:37

What case is it?

I would fit just one fan to the front and thats it.

Bilbocard · 31 Jul 2011 at 22:42

Ok thanks.

d_brennen · 31 Jul 2011 at 22:50

I had one of those cases for a while, still have it as a spare I may use again, not bad. One thing I didn't like about it was the PSU position. Right above the CPU cooler sucking in warm air

Bilbocard · 31 Jul 2011 at 22:53

I don't really care much about the case as long as it fits all the parts

Thanks for the information though!

yes this i agree with great fans

my case is full of 120mm deltas

akasa viper is amazing performance, but its not low noise...

Before anything else you need to decide whether you want PWM or standard fans, the two varieties are largely non-overlapping, and the PWM ones can be controlled much more precisely.

Noctua NF-P12, just so you can annoy people who hate the 1950s colour design

Oh and the 12.6~ dBA noise and excellent airflow
