As title really. I'm after some 120mm radiator fans but cant really stretch to some SP120, gentle typhoons, etc at the moment.


Whats the best fan up to £8.00.

I like the look of the Enermax T.B.Silence but not sure how well they will go on a rad.
YOUR BASKET
1 x Enermax T.B.Silence UCTB12 120mm Fan £6.98
Total : £10.90 (includes shipping : £3.26).



Any other suggestions.
 
Was the motherboard/BIOS. :o

Reflashed the F10A clearing the DMI (had it since 2011 with a T1090).
Now idles between 19-20 and full load 48. (at 5193 with 1.51v)


Either way you cannot go wrong with the Magma ones, even if you see the numbers.
Only the SP120 Perfomance @ 100% speed are better (3.1mm H2O pressure) but who wants to live with a vacuum cleaner next to their ears for hours?

Yate Loon D12SM-12D 120x38mm £5.87 each.

Been running these on my rads for years. Excellent fans that shift a lot of air without too much noise. Unfortunately OCUK doesn't sell them.
 
Another vote for Yate Loons (@7v).
Only worth spending more for High FPI rads, very quiet builds (HTPC etc) or bling

As Panos said it's the static pressure data that's important (the force the air is pushed with)
not the air flow (how must un-obstructed air is moved per minute/sec)
It's just a shame all the fan companies lie about the data (especial dB)
P-Q curve is the data you want - but many companies don't provide it :(

here's a link for you - marlin also review lots of fans (see site navigation on left)

Yate Loons @ that price point. They undervolt very nicely although can be a bit louder when running at full tilt.
