What 120mm fans to buy?

DAE_JA_VOO · Post by **DAE_JA_VOO** » 09 Jan 2006, 17:06

Just as the title suggests, i'm looking for 120mm fans (2 of them). I'm getting a Dual 120mm Radiator in a little while, and i need fans for it.

Please guys, the fans can't have any LEDs and must be as quiet as possible. I'm buying a case from Sybaritic, so if the suggested fans are available at sybaritic, that would be great.

I HATE Thermaltake, most of their stuff sucks, but are their fans any good?

I'd say go for two 120mm Vantec Stealths from computersonly in Kayalami. Plain black fan without any LED's....

I paid R90 incl Vat for mine and it is very quiet.

I was considering those. It would be ideal if the fans had a chrome effect, kinda like the silenX ones.

edit2: The Papst 4412FGL is probably your best choice considering it's the only one on the recommened list that's available in SA. http://www.ebmpapst.com/index/sid/E57C8 ... nt%5Fid%3D Someone pls edit this link.

Thanks Bob. But i'm looking to get the fans here in SA. Are there any good fans at Sybaritic?

Well as i said, the papst are available.

Your next best bet would be the Coolmaster UV series which have a good rep amongst the foke at silentpcreview (1220rpm, 42cfm), or the Antec TriCools (these also come in clear without the LED's, 1200rpm/1600rpm/2000rpm)

Sybaritic don't seem to have the clear version of the TriCools, but they do have the SmartCool if you like the fact that they automatically adjust their speed according to temp.

I have 2 antec tricools in my case and I must say they are great!

DAE_JA_VOO · Post by **DAE_JA_VOO** » 09 Jan 2006, 19:31

Okay, any idea where i can get these Antec Tricool fans?

whats wrong with having a post count of 666?

WiK1d · Post by **WiK1d** » 09 Jan 2006, 21:14

It's evil

SHL3B1B · Post by **SHL3B1B** » 09 Jan 2006, 21:18

So if someone gave R666 would you reject it because its evil? come on its just a number..

DAE_JA_VOO · Post by **DAE_JA_VOO** » 09 Jan 2006, 21:23

Yeah, it IS just a number, but from a christian's point of view (like, say, mine), it's not a cool number.
