Sharkoon silent eagle 2000 led fans on a fan controller, great cooling for benchmarking/priming, just dial them down for normal use. Noctuas and akasa apaches get reccomended as well but they look terrible.

I would personally recommend the Xigmatek fans. Shame OcUK do not stock these apart from some of their CPU coolers though. The white LED/Orange blade ones look really nice in motion, quiet and push a decent amount of airflow.

Enermax Clusters look awesome

The specs on those look fantastic, can they really shift that much air at 1000rpm and at only 16db ?

Funny you should mention led fans! Becuase today I fitted four 4 x 120mm Xigmatek XLF-F1253 LED fans into my new build. They are 20dbm and 61cfm. The LED effect is simply the best I have seen. The fans and cases are translucent and the LEDS produce a very nice four blade like, sharp pattern on the fan. I replaced the two fans on my Noctua NH-U12P SE2 with these Xigmateks. The temp has dropped a tad, 1 degree

but they are only slighly louder but look WAY better than the drab originals.

I also fitted a Xigmatek Bifrost VD1065 VGA-Cooler - Blackline Edition to my 8800gt (which I am using as a Physx card along side of an gtx295. Again this is a fantastic product. It looks a monster and my 8800gt temps have fallen from 80 degree to 50!

I am running an overclocked i7 860 (3.8Ghz) with 8gb of ram in a Coolermaster Scout case.

The Xigmatics are the final part of the build and lift it to stellar status IMO.

I should post some pics!

I got them, and I have to admit, they are awesome really awesome.
They are silent, and they keep my CPU really cool.

here are 2 pictures;

Im using Enermax Clusters

Theyre great fans and I'd recommend them to anyone. But like others have said, the Xigmatek ones are also great! Depends on if your after a specific colour too

Enermax Magma's?

Ducky Spud · 25 Oct 2009 at 13:24

Do the magmas have LED's? I know the Clusters (which I posted above) have white LEDs and the Everest have blue ones, but not sure about the magmas

Amidar · 25 Oct 2009 at 14:00

Magmas have the red fan blades & no led's.

PermaBanned · 25 Oct 2009 at 14:02

Oh right, missed that part. May i ask why you want LEDs?
