I'm a fan of the Akasa amber fans but they don't have LED The Akasa fans with LEDs are noisy, as are the Thermaltake Thunderblades... Anyome know of any quiet 120mm fans with LEDs ? I can't seem to find any on OCUK
SilenX do these in a range of colours...don't know if they are any good tho Features: Fan Swept Forward Fan Blade Design Smoother, Thinner Fan Blades Highly Efficient Hypro Bearings Vibration Isolation Mounts Built-in tachometer for motherboard RPM monitoring Built-in LEDs Specifications: Fan Dimensions: 120 x 120 x 25mm Fan Input: 12V/1.2W Fan Speed: 1500 RPM Air Flow: 64 CFM Noise Level: 14 dBA LED Color: Blue Three Pin Connector (Supports RPM Monitoring) Four Pin Connector
Hi there, I'm using 3 SilenX blue LED fans with my case: 2 x 80mm fans as intakes at front and 1 x 120mm exhaust at the back They're connected to a fan controller with the 80mm fans turned to 50% (at full speed they emit a mild whooshing sound) and the 120mm running at full speed (pretty quiet). The 14bB figure quoted by SilenX could be an exaggeration though. Motherboard temperature according to Asus PC Probe II is currently 38 degs although the heating in the room is turned on and I have a Zalman VF900 cooler fitted to my graphics card.
Thanks guys. Another idea has just come out of this actually - I could always just buy a fan controller and use with the existing fan to regulate it's speed as necessary
Aerocool Turbine 120mm, very quiet, 1000rpm, decent airflow and have LEDs. Plus they are less than £5 each.
Another vote for the Aerocool turbine, just need another one to fit to my Scythe Ninja and evry fan in my system will be an Aerocool. Very quiet.
i 2nd that if u lisen hard in a quiet room u can here them just at 12v at 7v no chnace of hearing them , cheap too about 5/6 quid each compaired to 12to 20 for as quiet fans
The aerocools are quieter There was a roundup of 17 120mm fans, the aerocools were only barely louder than Nexus fans which are regarded by most as the best quiet fans (Silent PC Review for example) and pushed about the same amount of air. P.S sorry for all the "[Sic]"s, just that it is easier to read if you take your time writing the post.
