Quiet 120mm fans?

DecimusFlavius · 02-07-2009, 01:53 PM

Has anyone found a good 120mm fan that is quiet? I'm looking to add another one since I just plunked down a grand for new parts and don't want them running too hot.

Any one of those, the ones i posted are variable speed to adjust to your liking.
There are other brands as well, but i like the antec fans.

The antec tricool ones are very quiet on low or medium speed setting and move a good amount of air

I use the Antec Tri cool fans in all my personal rigs and have sold them in many customer's rigs. The advantage is that you can set them with a little switch for the speed you want and the air you need to move to keep the rig cool. I like that because if you can set them to a lower speed, the noise factor is less.
