What fans

systemerror · 23 Mar 2014 at 20:57

Hi all,

I have been using Scythe GT'S unfortunately they seem to be hard to find and rather over priced at present I only have 4 working ones now. What fans would you use besides the corsair SP120's will be going on the following rads
EK coolstream 420 PE
EK coolstream 240 PE
Ek coolstream 360 XTX

Any help would be much appreciated.

Enermax T.B.Silence PWM or Manual or Magma 120/140.

Akasa piranhas, £4.99 on this week only at ocuk. Great airflow and static pressure, ideal for rads and heatsinks.

I know you have some of these are they as loud as some say they are?

They are loud at full speed, but even when using basic bios fan profiles they ramp up/down according to load. I had 5 in my system, when gaming they weren't very loud. 35db measured at 2 feet from the case using a phone app. I don't use fan monitoring software but they definitely weren't hitting max speed as i have previously tried them at full pelt through Asus ai suite.

Thanks Setter for that they are definitely tempting at that price.
