Best case fans?

mart1985 · 28 Oct 2012 at 20:48

I am looking to buy several 120/140mm case fans (ideally with blue LEDs).

I am not too fussed about noise, I would rather have cooler temps than worry about a small increase in noise from my case.

Please can people suggest good brands to look at as without any first hand experience it is hard to differentiate between all the brands available.

Corsair AF 140's with a blue case cold cathode.

1500 RPM on a 140mm fan is plenty of airflow too.

Have a look at the youtube videos on that fan.

if you are REALLY not that fussed about noise, look for delta or san ace fans. both offer very good airflow, but at the cost of a LOT of noise and as fans go, they are quite expensive.

San ace and delta aren't designed to be near humans, those things are horrendous, some of them can take off.

They also don't have LED's.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

BrianB - I like the look of those fans and they don't seem to be ridiculously noisy. Look good!
