GlimmerMan Posted January 20, 2007 Seeing as im probably going to purchase this case I thought i good thing to do was to replace the stock fans with some nice powerful, but kinda quiet ones. What do you guys suggest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uber Posted January 20, 2007 Syth Flex, Antec Tricool, any Panaflo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hardnrg Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) any Panaflo. while noise:performance is very good on Panaflo fans... the H1 and U1 (high- and ultra- speed/performance) series are definitely not what most people would consider quiet... a single 120x120x38 H1A on a heatsink is tolerable for sure, but when you have like 5 or more of them in the same case, the drone starts to get a bit loud... maybe like a cooker hood extractor on low any Panaflo M1 or L1 (medium- and low- speed/performance) series would be suitable without a fan controller... the H1 and U1 fans i'd only recommend if you were planning on using a fan controller and wanted a near-silent pc Edited January 20, 2007 by hardnrg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdy284 Posted January 20, 2007 a little off topic here... but that is one good looking case you're going to get! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jammin Posted January 20, 2007 Nexus and Noctua as well if you are looking for really quiet and can find places to buy them. I'm not sure how much air you want to be moving really. Lian-Li cases usually ship with relatively quiet (ADDA most likely) fans anyway, so I'd see what they are like before replacing them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sasybotnoodlehead Posted January 21, 2007 NEXUS REAL SILENT 120mm. Won't disappoint, I have one in the rear and it does a great job as a heat extractor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slayer2cool Posted January 21, 2007 silverstone man with adjustable rheostat. best of both worlds of quietness and performance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caffeinejunkie Posted January 21, 2007 Heres another vote for panaflos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlimmerMan Posted January 21, 2007 a little off topic here... but that is one good looking case you're going to get! Thanks fell in love with it as soon as i saw it. I think the Scythe S-Flex is probably the best fan to go for. Thanks for all your help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ccokeman Posted January 21, 2007 Silverstone FM121. I have 5 of them not controlled in my case and its really not to bad. You can slow them down and get them near silent and still push close to 80cfm. The push 110 cfm at full speed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jammin Posted January 21, 2007 Here are a couple of SPCR links. 120mm round-up (doesn't include some of the fans that have been mentioned) 120mm fans forum thread Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
