Fans to use with H80

Gast · 1 Nov 2011 at 18:48

Im going to switch from using the standard fans that come with the H80. Looking for 120mm fans that I can use in a push/pull setup (will be a Corsair 600t or 650d case, not decided).

Ive sorta narrowed it down to either Noctuas or the Scythe Gentle Typhoons. ATM leaning towards the GT's tho any advice people have woul dbe much apprecaited. (Basically looking to have the temps as low as possible without a massive amount of noise)

Cheers

I'm running the standard fans with the H80, they actually get pretty loud.

Currently stress testing and have been doing so for a while now. i7 2600k @ 4500MHz, 1.35 vcore. Max temp reached is 70.

Vipers or 1850 GT's.

I have vipers and am pretty happy with them, fantastic performance (sub 70c under load at 4.8ghz). And gaming load temps of the low 50's.

The stock fans are just terrible, the noise is just deafening.

I have 2x GTs on my H80, very quiet and temps are well low.

I use two Vipers with PWM, then have them plugged into my PWM connectors on the motherboard so they spin down when the system is idle.

I am just about to buy apache or GTs for nearly exactly the same reason.

I got a 600T white case with a greyscale colour set. Looks Lush
