120mm fan options

Dazza69r · 13 Jun 2007 at 22:21

hey peeps

i have a gigabyte 3d auruora case and iam lookin to change my fans as i think the ones that come with it are not upto the job

i would like to keep silent like fans but more cfm
the front one doesnt seem to shift much air in and i need to increase it
i have the fan on full speed (front) and it reads at 1061rpm
and the 2 back ones at 677 rpm each

i feel my motherboard shouldnt be at 45c and cpu E6700 @ 48c on idle lol

what fans would you recomend or maybe somethin else that i havnt thought of

Yate Loons should give you a drop in temps. But by how much, i don't know for sure.

The Akasa Amber ones seem to be a popular choice.

Just found this: 120mm SilverStone FM121 (White) Dual ball bearing Case Fan + 2400rpm Pro Use - Hi End

17-40dB
Max of 110cfm (that's more than double normal 120mm fans) & it comes with a fan controller.

where can i get loons from?
what is the full name for them?

Can't recommend any place that sells them as your not allowed to mention competitors, though you could use google product search.

yeh i just did seem to be louder than the ones that overclockers sell

AS already said - Yate loons. Quiet, cheap and fairly powerfull.

You can't compare manufacturers' specifications.One will measure from 2m away and one from 2cm. Believe what you're being recommended; after all, you did ask! If you don't like the answers, why ask the question?

Yate Loons or Nexus.
