New water build for 1080ti
- Thread starter roysters
- Start date
I only had experience with noctuas, vardars, ML and some phanteks ones. So can't speak for other brands, but looking at those vardars cost £14 (I thought it would be cheaper) I would still prefer ML 120 for £25 dual pack

I hated the ML's with a passion, over priced and absolutely useless at low rpm, as the fan no longer "Floats" and starts to make horrible noises.
Your mileage may vary.

I'm using Varder F4-120ER's in my build 5 of them in fact. They work brilliantly for me right now they are spinning at 420rpm and are inaudible, they start to get noisy once upto 1000-1200 rpm but you shouldn't really need to run them that high.
Good fans for a good price.

Overpriced for £12.5? Even vardar, which was always recommended as cheap option, are more expensive (and to me louder). I didn't notice any noises even while running at 480 and using pwm.

I think he's referring to the single fan pro version which are £20 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...remium-magnetic-levitation-fan-fg-052-cs.html
Your referring to the dual pack premium what ever that means. You can buy a 3 pack of Vardars for £12.30 each so not much in it really. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/thre...locks-ek-vardar-f4-120-2200rpm-bu-004-ek.html
Either way they are both decent choices with similar specs and perform give or take the same. Fan choice is subjective. I have EK's I'm happy with them and wouldn't change them for ML's. Maybe If I was to buy again but to be honest the only reason I'd replace is if they were broken or if I was moving up to 140's.

Sorry should have been more specific, yeah the pro version, comes with little blobs of rubber to remove vibration supposedly (didn't work for me)
I found at low rpm they slightly grinded and the noise instantly went into my case which was horrible
I'm actually a noise blocker fan .. but then .. they aint cheap either.
Horses for courses !

easy to follow. It's like lego
Hi. I've been following this discussion with interest. I want to do the same but my case will not accommodate the big radiator. It will take 2 240 radiators internally with no problems. Will this suffice for cooling the CPU and a 1080ti? Oh and I think I can mount another 240 rad on top of the case too. Cheers.
ok so i thought id show you the final thing (still need to add come coloured cables, etc)
im quite pleased! needed less to say i ran into about 200 problems and a lot of late nights... i actually did it twice! anyhow, temps are all good, no leaks.. and i added a drain valve!! big mistake i left out on first attempt
