120mm Case fan

Hi all

I am thinking of changing my case fans on my P182, can you recommend any, I have been looking at sharkoon 2000 and Yate Loon D12SM-12.

Also would it be an idea to fit a fan controller or would I be ok to just swap the fans and use the built in controller :confused:

Thanks for helping

Ive got some Xilence RedWings on the way. Read some mixed reviews about them, but as they are cheap, it doesnt matter tooo much

They are also going in an Antec P182, so, will give a report on them when the system is together.

look forward to hearing about them, good luck :cool:

To be honest I find the Antec fans too noisy and dont shift much air, hence the consideration of upgrading. I dont want to use a fan controller but still able to use the controller at the rear of the P182 if pos, but if this is a no no then I will get an MFC1 plus

Mr x plosion I will await your results and findings on the 2 fans, as I am leaning towrads the yates but the sharkoons do get good reviews.

UPDATE

4 Yates D12SM and MFC1+ on way, but can I swap the fans without having to remove MB from case ?????

Of course you can, they're dead easy to change.

Word of warning though, the top fan is held in on one side by metal clips that need fans with open corners that the Yate Loons are not, so you'll have to saw away part of the frame to make it fit.

Thanks skyboat :cool:

Now where did I put that hacksaw :confused:
