MesaRecCrew Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 (edited) Yate Loon D12SL or Antec TRI-COOL? I have an antec P182b case and I was thinking of putting a couple Yate LOON fans in place of the stock antec's. The tri-cools are set on HI however, they do NOT seem to be moving too much air for how loud they are. So, would the Yate Loons be an improvement with noise and CFM? My computer right now has 4 120mm fans. 1 fan being a scythe SFlex on my cpu cooler and the others are stock tricool (three speed switchable) with case.

Hyper Threaded Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Yate Loon or Scythe (Minebeas, preferably) high-speed models will certainly out-perform the stock P182 fans, quieter with better airflow. I have the P182, as well, the top exhaust fan was close to failing within a month, due to the horizontal orientation which sleeve-bearing fans don't work well in. Get something with ball-bearings for the top exhaust, to avoid that problem. I use a Delta 120x38mm Tri-Blade low-speed (2000rpm).

suchuwato Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Every Antec Tri-Cool fan I've had has developed an annoying buzzing sound... I hate them Antec fans I've used make a high-pitched noise for a bit, then start buzzing Needless to say, I don't have any Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
