ultimate case fan solution 120mm and 140mm, i want to know???

[Julio_tech]

Hello everyone,

I want to know what are right now the best fans for use on a Cm 690 II advanced, 120mm for the rear fan and 140mm for the top, bottom and front.

Please give me expert and experienced opinions, no money limitations.

NOTE: Sorry. No noctua fans, i hate the color.

Get five of the Noctua NF-A14 PWM and three of the Noctua NF-F12 PWM.

Then use a Swiftech PWM Splitter to control all of them.

You'll fill all fan slots. Top/rear are exhaust, front/bottom/side are intake.

 

[Julio_tech]

thats great but i dont like noctua fans color.

 

[Blaylock]

Julio- Do you want wind tunnel like air flow regardless of noise or Ultimate silence dispite low airflow?

Edit: Here is a very comrehensive comparison for you.

 

[Julio_tech]

Silence and good perfomance.

For 140 fans these finger choppers are awsome, quiet and effective. Only downfall is they're a bit pricey. http://www.prolimatech.com/en/products/detail.asp?id=1200&page=1

 

[ATMINSIDE]

Since you don't like Noctua, go for the Rosewill Hyperborea 140mm PWM and 120mm PWM.
Same PWM controller.

How are those fans about the sound? The Rosewills

A low hum at full speed (just the sound of so much air moving), silent at about 80%.
Very impressive quality, especially for the price.

Im impressed for the price, im gonna check for them a little, they have my interest now jeje. Thanks.

No problem

Recently used two of each size in a buddy's build. I was quite impressed.
Impressed enough that I'll recommend them, only second to Noctua

(This is assuming silence is a priority and an air cooled [or AIO cooled] machine, as I have other recommendations for custom water cooling loops and/or server usage)

 

[mostly nice]

Dead Silence are great. I think they have the best design, plenty of colours to choose from and are pretty much completely silent

Moved to cooling.

No Noctua, money not an issue, silent + performance:

Noiseblockers !

BlackSilentPro 140 PK-PS (PWM)
BlackSilentPro 120 PL-PS (PWM)
eLoop B12-PS or B12-P (PWM) for filtered intake positions

What hardware specs?

 

[Diggrr]

My fist go-to would be a Panaflo BX model, but sadly there's no 140mm version. Same with Gentle Typhoons.
Cougar however has both sizes and really are nicely quiet, with a good hydro wave bearing.

And they do have black models, not just the orange.

 

[Brando]

do you think this is ugly? if not check out the noctua redux models.

 

[Brando]

here's what their industrial models look like. i just leaned about these. i hate the regular noctua colors too.

 

[Julio_tech]

Thanks for all the option, i know the redux and the industrial ones from Noctua, the redux are ugly too and the industrials are too expensive for a fan, US$40 is too much for a single fan and it dont come with any accesories or adaptors, just the fan.

What do you think about the Air Series from Corsair?

What do you think about the Air Series from Corsair?

They're alright at best.
I would much rather have the Hyperborea than the Corsair AF or SP series.
