Antec 900 Cooling/fans

azab350 · 22 Jul 2008 at 15:18

First things first, my antec is tooo noisey, and too blue...i dont fancy splashing £150 on the case i fancy (Cosmos S) so, for now, untill my next upgrade, im after making this case deadly silent, or as quiet as i can, and not blue... so what fanc should i buy to replace my current ones? (want to spend £40 tops, can push, alittle)

Just put them all on low, thats plenty quiet man.

Are you sure it isn't your CPU heat sink fan thats making the noise?

azab350 · 22 Jul 2008 at 16:12

they are on low, but i dont like the tacky lights!

replace the fans with new , quiet ones then.

like this or something: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...harkoon Silent Eagle 2000 120mm Fan - 3/4 Pin

i want some SILENT fans that pump more air through!

azab350 · 22 Jul 2008 at 16:28

are the scythes any good?

Blackhawk47 · 22 Jul 2008 at 16:35

those i quoted have great airflow...what do you want ? some deltas ?

SILENT fans

Silent, but pushing a lot of air. Surely that isn't possible as more airflow = a higher rpm. The fan in my Antec 4480B is inaudible from a few feet when set to low.

I changed mine for 2 "120mm Scythe S-FLEX SFF21D Fan 800 RPM" for the front and 1 "120mm Scythe S-FLEX SFF21E Silent Fan 1200 RPM" for the back of my antec 900. I have no idea how noisy the stock fans were cos I changed them before installing my hardware in the case, But its quiet enough for me thats all I can say on the matter.
Having a slightly faster fan for the rear on the case may of been a good move, I dont know.

ok, ive looked al around the OCUK site, and ive thrown these up
2x http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-003-NC for front intakes
1x http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-012-SY for outtake at rear, i have the 200 in the roof also

are those fans good with a controller?

Why get 2 different fans? The Scythe ones do not push as much air as the noctuas. I have 3 of the noctuas and they are good fans even with the ULNA on it (Just a resistored wire).

you need sharkoon silent eagle 2000 on a fan controller... silent @ 5v and if you need it they move decent amount of air at 12v

I think a fan controller is the way to go also.

Cut the led lines, or black out the leds. I thought my a1200 was still quite noisy until i changed the gfx card, turned out that was a lot noisier than i thought.

yea or just put bluetac over the leds so if u ever want flashy you can get it back

azab350 · 24 Jul 2008 at 12:23
