Not looking for advice or anything - just curious.

I use 8 OcUK + Silverstone FQ121s which I got for £4 each.

Very happy about the performance and the price.

How about you?
 
Alaska piranha air rippers. been using them for about 6 months.
Happy with them, for desktop & light work they spin around 800 rpm, when gaming they go upto around 1500-1600rpm
 
3 X noctua redux fans on one Radiator, not that great and a pair of EK-Vardar F4-120ER for another in progress builds Radiator. The Vardar seem so much better so will look at replacing them all.

5 x Noctua NF-F12 IPPC 2000rpm PWM, managed to get them for a good price.

I run them at 500rpm idle and up to around 1100rpm when gaming.
 
6x OCUK/Silverstone FQ121's on one rad and 6x Powercool Glacier 120mm on the other. The Powercool's are actually quite good for a fan that only cost £2.54 each.
 
8 sp120s push/pull quiet edition's on top 480mm radiator. PWM controlled 6 sp120 performance on the bottom for 480 rad and 240 rad.

run the top 8 in push pull at 11-1200rpm whereas the bottom 6 i have idling at 1000rpm and increase speed when i game as i use headphones and cannot hear the noise. Not quite full speed as they are like jet engines :D.

Got them mainly for performance and looks. push/pull the top rad so i could keep them slow speed. cant push pull the bottom ones not enough room.

6x Servo Gentle Typhoon AP-15 (1850rpm)

Tried a variety of different fans since and found nothing has quite the same performance:noise ratio. Build quality is on another level vs ordinary "computer fans", nicely balanced rotor and very smooth bearings. Delta AFB1212SHE or San Ace 109R1212H1011 would be my choice now since you can no longer obtain GTs.
