SOLVED 120 mm fan suggestions

[Erik89]

Hello again guys and gurls,

I'm looking to replace the rotating spectacle on my H100i that corsair calls fans with something less noisy. What fans would you suggest?

Look at Noctua, they're not the cheapest, but they're dead silent and still have good static pressure

Will do! Any specific model in particular I should look at?

The H100i uses PWM fans if I remember correctly, so the NF-F12 PWM would be your best choice.

Do you have any experience to how the NF-F12 PWM performs when it hugs a radiator?

p12's are great but they tend to vibrate and if you don't use rubber between case and fan you might get a hummm

Scythe GentleTyphoons or Noiseblocker eLoop B12, anything else is just a toy.

Thanks for the tips, everyone

I am jumping in on this thread. I haven't bought any 120mm fans for probably 8 years...My yate loons are toast.

What are the cheapest 120mm silent fans out today? It is only to be used for hard drive ventilation so it doesn't need to be anything special. Just cheap and quiet (quiet-ish...server is in the wardrobe).

Cooler Master Sickleflow.

Coolermaster used to be junk. Guess stuff's changed!
$7.99 amazon prime...done deal. Thanks.

It will never match Delta for power or even performance per dollar, but if a little airflow is all you need, it works great. Sort of like comparing a Corolla to a Tesla.

I can un-mark it if you want?

 

[ATMINSIDE]

Erik, just remember that if you want speed control through your H100i that the fans you buy need to be PWM.

I recently bricked my H100i when I updated the firmware, so the fans are constantly on at 100% (the pump is still running). So I'm using a fan controller to control the fans
