Which quiet high output 80mm fan?

[Phate]

Hi guys,

Recently have started using an old Cooler Master ATCs 201 Blackwidow case again and it takes 80mm case fans, 4 of them to be precise.

It's got Akasa ones in there currently, several years old (atleast 6 years), and I'm wondering if there alternatives which output as much or more air but are quieter?

Any suggestions? Also if they glow blue that'll be great

TIA
Jake

I can't offer any recommendations, but Silent PC Review is a great website for this kind of thing.

Cheers mate will check it out.

try Gelid Silent 8 PWM, but tbh it's a waste. just get a better case.

Looking for minimal expenditure really, don't fancy chugging out for an expensive case. The cooling at the moment is fine, just want to change the fans to make it a bit quieter.

Oh and removing the fan grills/guards if possible helps too. I used tin snips to get rid of the ones in my Antec Solo and lined the edges with some rubber edging.

Good shout, will give that a go, thanks
