Best 40mm fan ??

Minusorange · 4 Jul 2018 at 22:51

Bit of a strange one but which of the 40mm fans available would be the best ?

Looking in terms of CFM and also reliability as I want one to stick on my 3d printer

Was looking at https://www.overclockers.co.uk/noctua-nf-a4x20-flx-5000rpm-fan-40mm-fg-05w-nc.html but I just hate the colour scheme so would rather avoid if possible

OcUK has a few that are not baby poo brown:

If you don't like any of those, try googling "Sunun Axial and RS Pro axial 40mm". I think you will find what you want.

How do they compare vs the Noctua ?

The Sunun would be perfect unfortunately it's too deep for my needs

Noiseblocker are seriously good. Now some would say Noctua are better, but then as doyll so aptly puts it, they are baby poo brown, and that really is a problem with modern styling.

It seems changes are afoot in camp Noctua..... Forward too 00:54
Not sure about the powder coating though!

As already stated Sunon have a massive range of fans to suit every need in the smaller range, but you will pay a fair bit for them.
