L.E.D. Fans - which are good?

FATAL ENIGMA · May 29, 2006

I am looking into adding a few 120mm LED fans, of so many choices available, which are a good bet?

semi loud = ok
high cfm = good
built to last quite a while = preffered

thanks......

Antec Tri-Led fans are really good...low noise, higher CFM and last awhile. other choices are some nice Panaflos.

thanks CCUABIDE,

I dont remember ever seeing a panaflo LED fan, have any more info on those?

CCUABIDExORxDIE · May 29, 2006

ohh...didnt even think LED...i just know panaflo fits everything but LED. my mind was thinking OK noise, Good Air and built to last...sorry for my newb-i-ness.

If you dont find a fan that fits your needs you could always go with a panflo or delta and pimp it out with leds.

I like the Thermaltake Thunderblade, they come with a rheostat and can push up to 76CFM, I turn mine down to silence it.

the AOC/Evercool aluminum LED fans are really nice. I have a couple of those in my rig and they are quiet, put out quite a bit of air and are nicely built.

I'd probably reccommend a good clear fan to start with, and then put in my own LEDs. Otherwise, Coolermaster or Antec would be on the top of my list.

yep, coolermaster are good. Thats what I used in my rig. There solid fans. Plus you can get them cheap on clearance at svc

damn, it seems they only have green now. ohh well. Its still a GREAT deal

I've had coolermasters--they tend toward the quiet low flow side.

If you want fans with a little more oomph, I'd recommend AC ryans. They are a little louder, but push a lot of air. Furthermore, the LEDs are not necessarily tied to fan voltage input (you can operate them separately if you choose).

The coolermaster ones are awsome, too bad they are hard to find now in any colors other than blue/red/white... im still very sad they stopped making orange fans. They do tend to be on the low side for CFM but they will run forever and look awsome.

I've got 5 of the coolermaster 120mm green ones. They certainly do edge towards the quiet/low flow side.

TT Smart Fan is good as a case fan.

I currently use 3 blue LED tt thunderblade fans. 2 are on my heater core and 1 is on my side panel. For my new build (moving to a cm stacker and tripple rad) I have some blue LED yate loons on the way.

I like the TT Smart case fan (blue leds). It also comes with a controller to adjust the speed/noise level.
