hi 8 pack,

what fans would you recommend for the below setup

2 front intake
1 base in take

1 single fan rad exhaust back

1 double fan rad exhaust roof

i was thinking Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120mm 1450 RPM these for exhaust and these for intake Scythe Kaze Jyuni 1200RPM Slipstream 120mm Fan?

Scythe Gentle Typhoon are brilliant for radiators.

Scythe GT is all I will accept in my own systems!!!

thanks for the reply.

are the 1200rpm Scythe GT's enough to overclock an ivy to 4.4 - 4.5?

do you use them for front intake fans as well?

I only use em!!!

I use the 1450 or 1150 ones in my PC's.

The 1850 are excellent too. I used two of these on a recent water cooling review I did. Still silent!!!

For front intakes. The best ive used are silverstone air penetrators.

I use the Apache fans for the radiator on my Antec Kuhler 920 and they work perfectly. Im clocked at 4.5ghz with temps around 60 degrees. Plus they are VERY quiet.

Thanks for your replys. I have read great reviews of the sychthe gt for pushing a lot of air at very low dbs. What I don't understand is why not use them as intakes as well? If they are so good at pulling/pushing air through a rad then why not use them for pulling air through the front of a case where there are also obstacles in the way of airflow?

a lot of people want LED type fans etc in the front of there cases and the Sythe are not that great to look at being designed as a server fan. If I ran a case I would sue em though.
