I'm looking for a 120mm fan to place into the side of my Antec 900 case. Which one would be best out of the two?

What about those, the new Noctua 120mm fans.

Out of stock. Out of the two I mentioned, which one would is better?

I would assume people will say the Yate Loon, I haven't used them so I can't say.

Used the yate loon. Liked it. Consider scythe slip-stream as an alternative if you are willing to consider one.

The yate loons use sleeve bearings don't they?

Chris Beard · 10 Jan 2008 at 16:34

Yes. Sleeve bearing tends to be quieter than ball when mounted virtically (fluid bearings may be quieter again). Mounted horrisontally it may still be quieter but wares quicker and makes more noise.

My "Yate Loon D12SM-12 120mm Case Fan" arrived but it only has a 3pin motherboard power connector. Are they supposed to come with a 4pin molex adapter?

Mine only has a 3 pin connector, my Nexus (Yate @ 9v) has both though.

Is yours like this?

Raikiri · 12 Jan 2008 at 16:53

Yes, although it's a D12SL blue LED version, it's otherwise the same.
