120mm green case fan

X3T · 12 Sep 2011 at 21:32

Hi

I'm trying to find a 120mm case fan which has a black frame and green blades, like the Gelid Wing 12 or Nanoxia DX12. Problem is I can't any for sale in the UK.

Does anybody know where I can find something similar? I think they would go well with my new 690 II Nvidia case

Thanks

Hmmmm... paint one?

I've found them in blue but not green, you not fancy getting one sent from the EU?

Not really, but I might have to! I did find some others for sale in the UK, made by Aimaxx. Tried to buy them but the next day I got a refund and a "sorry out of stock" email. The 120mm versions have since been removed from the site :mad:

Thanks, I've looked at those but they only light up green - i.e. the blades are black. How well do they perform?

Not a clue, I just searched around some places for 'green 120mm' and the CM sickle is what popped up first. surely black with green wouldn't be that bad, after all the Nvidia logo is green and black... Basic specs for it are:

Rotation Speed: 2000 rpm
Air Flow: 69.7 cfm
Noise Level: 19 dBA

Thats not bad at all for a 2000rpm fan...

Thanks for the specs, looks good. Black and green is exactly what I'm after, but the sickleflow is not green when it's off. However I think I'm being too picky as I probably won't even see the fans with the case side on

I saw some pics of others with the same case and the Gelid/Nanoxia/etc fans look awesome inside.

Will probably get the sickleflows.

You cant list competitors on these forums man, they are hosted buy overclockers uk so they pay for them and dont want other companies advertised on their forums

i would say that asaka vipers and paint, they give good air flow and are PWM so stay quiet when not needed

MAXIBOY · 14 Sep 2011 at 01:55

from what i,ve read vipers are noisy dont flow as well as there figures and arent cheap

X3T · 14 Sep 2011 at 02:15

Thanks for all your suggestions, but I have gone for the CM Sickleflows. Not exactly what I wanted colour wise but they seem pretty good.

RiseAgainst · 14 Sep 2011 at 03:01

i have a viper and at the high levels they are noisy but they give good air flow. They are a premium but they are great build quality

Those are available in the UK

Just to say the I have several green sickleflows in my case and they perform really well. The blades are transparent black rather than opaque black, so they also look pretty good too.

(note when I say really well, I mean in relation to other fans that can be had for ~£5 - tbh I don't really have much experience with £10-15 fans)

rampin · 14 Sep 2011 at 13:15

i used these and they look just as good in my case

2 at top
1 at bottom
and 1 in front (comes with the case )

Thanks, those look exactly what I was after. I have just ordered the sickleflows but I might have to get a couple of these too. Although they are quite expensive compared.
