Choose your fan ! 6-Fan Battle

[Furieux]

Ok guys, regardless of the price, which one would you choose ? Quiet is best and performance come second.

Here are the fans :





All of em are 4-pin PWM. Right now i'm leaning toward the Enermax because of the detachable blades. But beside that, I have no clue on whiche one I should choose !

Let me know

TY-140

 

[Volumetrik]

^^ + 1 to that

 

[EarthDog]

TY-140 or some Yate Loon High's on a controller.

Everyone seems to agree on the TY-140.... Why is that ? Is it more silent than the other ?

 

[MattNo5ss]

I have a TY-140 on the Shaman at full speed and I cannot hear it. It's the quietest fan that I have installed.

Nexus

None of the above. Give me an S-Flex any day.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the s-flex are not PWM ??

The TY140 is biggest it will obviously be the quietest. Why all 120's and just that one 140mm???

Also Noctua NF-P14 FLX?</STRIKE

My local retailer only has these PWM model in store So that's why I listed em. And I don't feel like paying full shipping on Newegg for a 10$ fan

 

[JR23]

Oh right well if thats the only 140mm then the obvious choice, just wondered why you weren't considering other 140's too

 

[muddocktor]

The TY140 also uses a 120mm fan bolt pattern too, so it should be judged against 120mm fans and not 149mm fans.

And yes, I would have said TY140 also. Very quiet fan.

I have not yet found time and motivation to build a PWM fan controller, so I stick to three wires.

Have you looked at Jab-Tech, Petra's Tech Shop, SVC, FrozenCPU, or Xoxide?

There are MANY MANY more places to buy fans than just the noob modders home.

Head over to the WC forum and look in the stickies. A list of WC stores. Watercoolers have cases too, and pay a LOT more attention to specs than most air coolers since we are deeper into the game, at it much longer in most cases.

Newegg doesn't sell the Gentle Typhoons to list just ONE of many fans that surpass any of your choices.

A good fan link to learn more. I have more..........

.

Noctua's 140mm fan uses a 120mm mount also. It doesn't move a LOT of air but it doesn't make noise or vibrate whatsoever. Really cool hella-reinforced brass blade spinner .. I have 3 of them.

 

[Furieux]

What about the Scythe Slip Stream PWM ??

Sleeve bearings are not known for longevity.
