delta's are the best.. but i have 2 different size fans. 120mm and 80mm. depening on ur case but id almost bet a case fan would be 80mm. delta's are really loud, but powerful. i use a delta on my heatsink, but soon to use on in my hdd cage as well.

bOiler, see if you can find the Panaflo 120mm 69cfm fan. It is fairly quiet(31dba) and comes with a 4 pin connector. I don't know many MOBO's that can handle above 5.5-6 watts. These fans are the Mercedes of fans.

but whats best out of those 3..

[Thelemac]

Well...I, personally, would go with the big one...but that depends on whether you want to mod your case or not.

[WyrmMaster]

Go to www.allelectronics.com they have 120mm panaflow fans for $6.50 and they come with a finger guard.

Well, the Y Tech 120mm by far flows the most, but it's very loud. If you go with a 120mm fan, then you may want to consider the Panaflow like Da Whip suggested. Forget the Delta 60mm fan, they don't flow enough and are way too loud to be used for case fans. I like the high output Sunon 80mm fans (not listed) which flow about 42 CFM and are fairly quiet. I suggest you keep looking, there are better fans around than the three you listed.

realy cheap fanshere (http://www.theoverclockerzstore.com/OCZstore.cgi?user_action=list&category=Case%20Cooling)


I got 5 fans for less thin $15
they did take 1 week to get here though

3 92mm Case Fan - High Speed
2 80mm Case fan - High Speed


and these 92 mm fans are quiet and they come with a 4 pin adaptor

Im never going to pay $15+ for a fan again!!!!!!

[Warlord2]

forgot to ansere your question


out of those 3 fans get the

YS Tech FD1212387B-2R
120MM Case Fan

- Moves 131 CFM of air
- 120mm x 38mm Case Fan
- noise level: 45dba
- Uses 3 pin power plug
- uses 7.92 watts
- 2800RPM Fan Speed

and a do 7volt mod on it

they are VERY load at 12volts sounds like the fop38 I had

[Larry Quinn]

got one sitting here as I type...

Yes it's louder than some...
But it moves SERIOUS air!

I would go that route....
after all...we look to overclock....

If they made a 131 CFM fan that was QUIET I'd buy it...but they don't....

Go for the extra CFM......then you can down the voltage if you need to due to noise..
But the fan will always have the 131 CFM potential when you need it!

P.S. Just my two pennies rounded to the nearest cent.

[mackthehack]

Panaflo. Not cheap but the best. And quiet.

[AlanSr]

go to www.bgmicro.com and the the comair rotron.
for $8.95 it pushes 235CFM

[Frodo Baggins]

The Conair is out of stock man. I asked them a couple weeks ago, seems you guys ran them dry damnit.

[RED Hot Machine]

Go with the YS techs. I've got 2 and have mobo temps of 19oC!

These move serious amounts of air, but are noisey.

The Delta's are famous for the amount of noise they make!!!
