Fan advice?

de.das.dude · Oct 9, 2013

looking for some fans.

list is arranged according to descending order of importance
0.Price
1. Airflow
2. noise
3. longevity
4. LED/not and other features like led swiches etc.

shortlisted these :-
1. 2x BitFenix Spectre Blue LED 120 mm for my CM hyper 212 evo

2. 2x BitFenix Spectre White 120 mm for the chassis.

other things to look into:-
Deepcool ICEBLADE FAN 120mm all around.

now these deepcools are all PWM and move more air than the bit fenixes. but are they really good and durable?

bitfenix spectre moves 43.5CFM compared to 60CFM of the Deepcools. which ones should i get. (deep cools are a bit cheaper too)

refer : shop

thanks :toast:

I wasn't able to find a review of the Ice Blade fan, but the cooler that they are used with performs pretty well.

The Spectre fan had a pretty poor showing in tom's roundup:

i dont really go for toms hardware reviews....

im hoping for someone who actually bought these.

de.das.dude · Oct 12, 2013

no one?

AhokZYashA · Oct 12, 2013

noctua fans are pretty good.

or NZXT fans also quite good

the54thvoid · Oct 12, 2013

Noctua make pretty good fans but i recently bought a 'Bequiet' Silent Wing 2 80mm fan and even at full tilt it's exceptionally quiet. It's also a PWM fan so variable.

If I have to replace my Noctua 120mm fans, I'd consider Bequiet in the future.

de.das.dude · Oct 12, 2013

noctua are too expensive and rare here. corsair ones too

pigulici · Oct 12, 2013

+1 for Noctua fan

FreedomEclipse · Oct 12, 2013

Noiseblocker fans are awesome. Can be a bit pricey though

de.das.dude · Oct 12, 2013

please look at the reference link

none of the brands mentioned are available,.

Here its on sale........... Sorry I forgot you lice in India

Corsair Air Series AF120 Performance Edition CO-90...

Corsair Air Series SP120 (CO-9050014-WW) 120mm PWM...

happita · Oct 12, 2013

Any Cougar fans available to you? If so, I'd check out some of the ones here:
Computer Hardware, Fans & PC Cooling, Case Fans, ...

They are expensive and are in the same price bracket as Corsair and Noctua, but the fans are high quality from my own experience.

maybe im gonna take deep cool, but ill make sure about their warranty too.
better fans usually tagged higher than standard fans, so the much you spend the better you get.

Peter1986C · Oct 13, 2013

Scythe Kama Flow or Slip Stream fans, if available, are affordable and perform well enough. Nidec Gentle Typhoons (sometimes sold under the Scythe name) are better (airflow and longevity) but cost a lot.

de.das.dude · Oct 13, 2013

lets see if i can go through the winter on what i have. i have enough fans, but not enough speed.
got a cousin in NY but he wont be back anytime soon.
