Best 80mm Fans?

EvilFranky · 21 Apr 2006 at 17:56

Looking to upgrade the standard 80mm fans from my Lian Li PC65 case.

I don't wanna modify the case and fit 120mm fans, but i'd like some better quieter 80mm fans.

Can some of you more experienced lot help me out with this please??

I bought a coolermaster 80mm fan recently from an random shop in town. Only 18 db apparently.

Very good.

panaflow fans are meant to be in a league of their own....

However that said what are you aiming for:

a) improve cooling b) lower noise

Or both....

From previous experience just double check you have enough power to run the number of cooling fans you aim to put into your case....

Can't go wrong with a Vantec Stealth but... i'd recommend a YS-TECH. Bit noisy, but effective, cheap & speed can be reduced to quieter levels

Get 3 or 4 akasa Amber Ultra Quiet fans... and look on the net for the 7v mod ...

Cheap and very quiet case cooling

Aksa Ambers are very quiet indeed

Added 3 and dropped my case temp a couple degrees ^^
Very happy with them

depends what u mean by best,

high CFM would be the vantec tornado, delta fans

Low noise would be akasa ambers, vantec stealth, ys-tech
