120mm case fans

CivilDrone · 19 Aug 2015 at 11:22

Morning
Currently on another project, based on evga hadron
Cooling is very limited only have access to 2x120mm fans on the top which used as exhaust.
was wondering if anyone can suggest 120mm fans that would be best suited for the job, nothing too expensive, noctuas etc.
corsairs SP120 HP, silverstone AP122's perhaps?
Cheers

Vardars seem to be the go to fan. They are about £13 each. Very good performance I've been told ( will be able to prove it soon ).

EDIT - stuck a vardar F4-120ER on my H60 and my temps are down 5C. well impressed.

Seems I was wrong. Temps actually hit what I was hitting before just need to sort the profile out. I will have to do more playing as the fan hasn't gone over 1150rpm. It's the 2200 version so it will be a lot better.

just get the cheapest exhausts can be anything even scythe 800rpm not going to make much difference temps wise if they are exhausts

How were those fans?

Be Quiet Shadow Wings, I have some in my case and they are quiet at idle and quiet enough at 1500rpm, not PWM though, best off with a fan controller to control 3 pin case fans

Noctu- oh, wait, never mind.

If it's budget, I'd consider Silverstone. That or the cheapy Noctua Redux ones, perhaps?
