120mm fan suggestions...

Rykno · 16-July-05, 03:10 PM

I have a Thermaltake SVA4000 case (the viking model) and 2 Thermaltake 120mm blue LED fans in it, but I don't think they are doing much justice for how much air they push/noise they make. Any suggestions on the best possible 120mm fans for my intake/exhaust? btw I tried every combination of fan speeds for them,
and I can't find a medium where the noise is tolerable and the air flow is sufficient.

How about a Cooler Master "Ultra Silent Fan" (SAF-S12-E1)
Not too good of airflow at 11.27CFM, but at 13dB, it definitely earns its name.

The Panaflo L1A 120mm flows 68.9CFM at 30dB.

The 120mm Vantec Stealth flows 53CFM at 28dB.

Thermaltaken? At cases they're marginal, everything else... they suck. What numbskull would willingly place a (Not counting CM [Rifled], Panaflo [Hydrowave], and SilenX [Hydrid]) sleeve-bearing fan on their heatsinks? Or in their case? (Even chipset/GPU's for that matter.)

I reommend the Silvy (Almost as much power at the Panaflo Ultra High Speed [FBA12G12U1A] but a good deal quieter. )but they all have merit. (Excluding the top choice, but that's there for humor.)

Psychocyclone

Power (But not an ear buster)

Silence

Also apply acoustic foam to your case. Mnpctech sells some good stuff.
