120mm FANS

[Lloyd_mcse]

Hi guys,
just a quick thread to see what you all think or certain fans..

BEST ALL ROUND FAN - Yate Loon - £4.89 (various models - depends on db & CFM)

BEST FAN - Sythe Ultra Quiet 1600rpm £12.99 ish

CRAZY BUT COOL - Noctua NF-P12 Vortex-Control £15 ouch

Please post what you think, and if there are certain fans you would like me to test back to back for decibel rating

Sharkoon FAN
Yes very quiet but for an extra 3 or 4 db u can double your CFM. I'm not sure if they'd be any good on a radiator

I will buy a couple and run them back to back, but i'm sure overall, a yate Loon or Sythe 1600rpm will be better all round.

Think im gonna go for the yate loon fans as im a sucker for the blue led.....But once you put decent fan filters on thats gonna cut the cfm right down i guess.

Yes, it will to a certain extent, but when u consider the fact that the most recommended fans for radiators are Yates and the Sythes, I don't think a filter will slow them that much So you'll be fine

11600rpm now that would be a fan and a half.


Might ave to get me self a Noctua for the back of my case. Allthough i reckon the Sharkoon would look better in my case shame it dont show the connector as i would prefer to plug into motherboard than a molex.

My dominator ram cooling fan has finally turned up so just gotta peal the sticker off (so its nice and black).

Will get that ocz ram cooler posted to ya asap Ya Mother.

Woops typo

[Ya Mother]

I need fan filters to go between the mesh and the fan so i can just run my dyson nozzle over it and then its done....not having to open my case and slide the thing out and do each 1 if you know what i mean. so was thinking some thing like this....http://www.chilledpc.co.uk/shop/prod...roducts_id=260
