Best fan for £7

William-Mathew · 25 Jun 2014 at 17:10

Hi guys

I want to upgrade the fans in my system as they are currently the fans that came with my case. They are loud and they have a bit of vibration. What would be the best fan for about £7(140mm fans)?

Thanks for any suggestions

Will

Asaka seem quite cheap compared to other brands and get a good write up. You can pick up anti-vibration 14cm asakas for under 7 quid.

I bought some Fractal design silent series from a competitor for around that price, they came with anti vibration "screws" that did the job.

If you're looking to just silence the vibration then you could get a pack of these:
YOUR BASKET
1 x Akasa Siliconized Rubber Fan Pins - 20 Pack (AK-MX003) £3.59
Total : £3.59 (includes shipping : ).

and see how you get on?

YOUR BASKET
1 x BitFenix Spectre 140mm Fan - White £7.99
1 x Xigmatek XLF-F1453 Orangeline LED Fan - 140mm £7.99
Total : £19.90 (includes shipping : £3.26).

I can second the spectre 14cm ones. I used them in my previous build and have the pwm versions in this build.

I use Aerocool Sharks, you can get them from here for £7.99, brilliant fans and silent @5v.

Here is a link to white ones, can get them in Blue/Red/White/Green LED or Black without LED.

If you can stretch to a tenner, the Enermax ones are pretty decent too.

I would say the Be Quiet Pure Wings 140mm Is a very good fan for the price, it is a little over £7, but if you have a black chassis, they look very stealthy, and are very quiet even at full RPMs.
