Most CFM, Least dB 120mm Case Fan

[skippo]

Any suggestions???

Can you get better 120mm fans than this: 54.3CFM, 19.8dB?

hmm bit expensive though. theres one for 8 quid including delivery elsewhere with 59CFM and 20Db

I go for the Yate Loon fans... great performance at a great price. Generally regarded as being one of the few companies to advertise accurate dB and CFM numbers.

I recommend the SL for case fans and the SM for your CPU.

Deffo go for Yate Loon.

Just a quick question, i was looking at maybe getting some sharkoon fans, the 2000 variant. On the specs they are listed to move 76.4 CFM @ 34dB whereas the Yate Loon DSL moves 47cfm @ 28db. Is the extra noise (slight) and double the price worth the extra compared to the DSL, as i would be looking at getting 4-5 of them to go in my 690.

Cheers for the help.

Sharkoons are best CFM to db ratio
Yates are best CFM per db per pound

For every 10db the air pressure is double (if I remember correctly)

Hmmm, i may go for the DSLs then. They are to replace the Coolermaster ones that came with my CM690. Gonna combine them with the Akasa fan controller so hopefully will notice a difference.

There's more to noise than db ratings. The Sharkoons are worth the extra cash in my oppinion.

I looked at those originally because of the white fin contrasting with the black case, and hopefully, as it is white, glowing under the UV.

For bling look at ACRyan fans.

Mine too.

And mine, although i prefer the 1000 SE's, but i really do like quiet (have 9 of them in my case and i can't hear them, the pumps are louder )

silent fans, Noctau rules

They do look very impressive, but i cant really justify spending over 60 quid on fans unfortunately.

I shall see how my finances go this month (have the gf's bday this month ) and then decide whether to go yate or sharkoon.

Scythe ultra-kaze and slipstream are very good too. Availability in the UK was very poor last time I checked however.

The new Noctua fans are far better than above model esp for Heatsink where pressure matters, the above has bad pressure.
