Case fans

[phillyman36]

Hey in general which fans are cool and quiet. i need 2 120mm fans (1 intake front 1 rear exhaust) and a 92mm (1 top exhaust) fans. I prefer them to be cooler than quiet but i dont want it really loud which brands do you all prefer

i went from this to this for my exhast fan. and the kingwin pushes more air and is quieter.

Depending upon how much air you need, you can always get a generic 92 or 120 and run it at 7v.

Best bets are to get a high-speed fan and get a fan controller (O god i love the fan controller). Otherwise, look into panaflos... I got mine off of ebay and it's just lovely.

newegg has some speeze fans for cheap. they are ok fans that work well at 7v

the 120 x 38 mm panaflo is dead silent at 7v. And it only costs $9.99 + ship at svc.

bgmicro.com has the 120X38 Panaflo(FBA12G12M) for $3.99+ shipping.

I use enermax 120mm fans. They have a variable resitor if you dont have a fan controller. Good CFM/dB ratio. The enermax also beats panaflows CFM/dB

For 92mm, i have had good luck with the Enermax 92mm Blue or Red plastic fan with "clear/whitish" blades. It has a variable resister on it - allowing it to go from medium noise/ good airflow, to very low noise/ low airflow.
