Corsair 600t or NZXT Phantom

A pair of vipers in push pull works very well, blowing inwards. If you get a gelid or akasa pwm splitter cable you can plug them both into the 4pin cpu motherboard header and have the motherboard bios control them. They usually stay under 800rpm, and are very quiet. Even when gaming they shouldn't go over 1200rpm, and only when stress testing with prime or intel burntest have I seen them go to 1900rpm. Loud but more the sound of air whoosing. The Vipers also have some of the highest static pressure around of any fan (bar maybe some deltas) so are well suited towards the H50. Even the Apache Blacks are very good. Same fan, but in black and top out around 1350-1400rpm, so quieter.

One thing...if you reverse the fans on the H50 so they intake, I found my cpu temps dropped 5 degrees. Also makes the 600T have slightly positive airflow which is better if you have GPU's which exhaust hot air. Don;t worry about that hot air being exhausted by the gpu's getting sucked back inside. It mixes with cold air so there is hardly any negative impact.

Will post pics of my 600T on Monday/Tuesday with sidepanel/250mm fan fitted :D

bump :D

pics??
 
Finding the 250mm sidefan a little loud on the full 12v, although it's mainly air and very little motor noise. Ran it off the Corsair fan controller for about a week and the fan definitely doesn't like less then 12v. Seems to make weird noises. So today I hooked up a 12v military style switch with a white led :). Now I just flick the switch when gaming and fan comes on, and turn off when not gaming. Makes massive difference to temps.
