Coolermaster Elite 335 case fans

Hi,

was just wondering the case fans included with this case from overclockers does it have Blue LED's? and for the second fan what would you recommend that has good air flow and quiet for exhaust.

Many Thanks

The 335 doesn't come with a fan in the front despite it looking blue in colour on the image. The included fan at the rear is just a plain black one afaik, which I think runs about 1300 rpm or so. So up to you what you stick up front. If you want something quiet then you may have to go without colour as LED fans do have a tendency to be more noisy than their standard non LED counterparts. Maybe something by Enermax if you must have colour.

I can't answer the LED question, but the bset fans currently around are Akasa Vipers:

Or the cheaper, but with less CFM (amount of air that can be moved and therefore effectively how much it cools) Scythe Kaze Jyuni:

The askasa vipers seem a little expensive, What about this for front fan - seems quiet and got LED's:

and then get this for rear: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-021-SY&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=4

Both decent fans, neither will move as uch air as the vipers though (hence being more expensive

)

The Scythe fans are excellent though, and Xigamatik have good reviews

stick with the fan that comes with the 335 at the back and buy one of these

saves money and does the job.

the apache and the viper are identical, except that the viper has a higher max rev. (ie, in the 800-1300RPM range they perform exactly the same. The viper has the advantage of being able to go faster than 1300RM)
