I was half expecting lots of people to name the GT AP-15 Gentle Typhoon...
and instead, we got some much nicer fans!
I personally also like the Enermax 120mm LB Vegas, very quiet fan, with 85 CFM.
I will also direct everyone to this research
http://uk.hardware.info/reviews/261...e-fans-reviewed-test-results-120-mm---all-out
where it was recently done on 393 fans.
the fan count on my Chassis
2 x Akasa 120 VIPER 85CFM
3 x Kaze Jyuin (Slipstream) 1900 110 CFM
1 x Reevan Silent 1500 (cause I like the sharp yellow there)
1 x Kaze Jyuin Slim 1200 (cause of an impossible area.. this is a 12mm thick fan, with my additional mods)
1 x Enermax TB Vegas DUO
1 x Ultra Kaze Jyunin 38mm 3000 RPM 130 CFM (this is my bottom fan)
2 x Coolermaster red LED 1200 RPM side fans (these are mounted on the side panel to assist GPU mostly)
as such, when my fans goes to 100% (above 55'C), my computer sounds like an airplane on the runway about to take off.
but on usual daily mode, it is actually rather quiet, no more noise than a normal computer from any table.
On fans, i believe in TESTED results over their marketing data.
and the reason why I like the Slipstream, is cause at 7V, they basically operate like a GT AP-15. (71CFM at 40dBA), and at 12V, they can operate at 110 CFM at 53dBA. Some will argue the GT has better static pressure, but in tested results, it really didn't show that.. I will be putting that in the urban legend pile of data.
Akasa Viper 120 operates at 12V similar to Slipstream 12V, but better color. (this fan works poorly at 7V)
Enermax Duo is for the lighting, colors are decent.
