new fans

**forcifer** · 02-01-2006, 05:48 PM

Hi,

i am looking for some new fans for my next computer upgrade. my current ones are EXTREMLY loud and dont push much air. also their color throws off alot. i am looking for 4 green LED 80mm fans and 1 120mm green led fan. i have found some, but there might not be good enough. i got money, so dont worry about that. the 80mm i would like to be 4 pin, and the 120 whould sldo be nice to have because i have a fan controller and i can hook them all together =)

i have already looked as i said before,just making sure i got good ones

I'd get Antec. I use many and they are QUIET. Compared to the other fans I've used they are virtually silent.

**forcifer** · 02-01-2006, 06:40 PM

ok thanks. i hope they have them at newegg =/. anyone else? i just like getting as many opinions as possible =)

Newegg carries them, I bought mine at CircuitCity for much more...

Hi,

I too like the Antec ones, very quiet and push a lot of air. The ones I really like that I purchased are the 120mm fans that are three speed that comes with a little switch so you can change the speed. I run mine not off the motherboard or case feature (don't like the fans speeding up and shutting down thing), but run them full time and LOW speed, efficient and quiet.

Anyhow, that is my preference.

@ forcifer
For another opinion, Panaflo fans are also well known for their quiet operation for their comparable speed and airflow. I have also used Arctic Cooling fans for their 'bling' when needed as they come in many LED colors and some have thermal controls for mount-'em-and-forget-'em applications

**please** · 02-02-2006, 05:20 PM

@ forcifer
I am sure they will be fine. With your fan controller you may be able to keep them fairly quiet when not in 'high gear'.

why is it pronounced 'fork-e-fer?

**forcifer** · 02-02-2006, 06:03 PM

thx =). i will prolly turn them down a bit, but not too much. oc makes your whole sys hot and ima sli =X.
