Fan LED help?

Hodge92 · 15 Dec 2013 at 07:03

Hello OCUK, I need some opinions. I have just built a PC with a color scheme of black and red. When I built the PC I had Cooler Master Sickleflow 120mm as well but the LEDs was so dim. At the moment I have 3 Bitfenix Red LED 120mm fans but the LEDs are quite dim also, and they don't push out a lot of air. :mad:

So, what I'm asking is for is everyone's opinions on what fans I should get to replace these in terms of LED brightness and CFM? Thank you!

Well. I have 5 Silverstone AP121s which don't have much in terms of cfm, but good static pressure and bright leds.
They look awsome, are quiet and very well made, have their own fan guard.
At 70% speed leds are bright and fans move a good amount of air.
Another option are NZXT fans. I have one as my exhaust and they are also very nice.
Bright leds and move more air than Silverstones, but a bit louder.

Dump the LED fans, get some fans that match your flow requirement and use LED strips to light your rig.

+1

Corsair AF fans

EDIT they also do red LED fans but don't have the rubber corners to stop vibration noise

Yeah I looked at these but the Red LED version looks like a milky red? If you own these fans, could you take some photos of the fans with the LEDs on?
