Choosing 80mm fans.

gserg dfge · Oct 2, 2014

Hi

I have a case that have holes for 80mm fans only. I need to upgrade my fans. The case have 1 fan front, 1 back and 2 side. I have found these fans at my local shop. Akasa led fans and Xilence led fans.
Which fan should I choose for quite operation.

Here are the links.

Akasa

Xilence

Both are good, they're small enough to not make much noise, but I'd get Xilence over Akasa here, its good for quiet performance

Is the xilence a better brand over akasa?

Yep, Xilence have a better CFM-sound ratio, meaning they're quieter while being great performance wise.

Or should I upgrade to a new case? The case I have is brand new was in the box Since 2006. It is a solid case but the fans are not big.

Post the specs of the build along with the case model, 80mm fans are a bit outdated and not enough for beefy builds, but just fine for a mid range or entry level gaming build, especially if you're not looking to OC substancially.

I am not building a new system although I would love to but for my needs it doesn't make sense. I use the pc mainly for movies and internet browsing. And play some old games like cod 6.

Well considering its more or less like a HTPC, and you won't be OCing, you can go about with the old case, as there won't be much heat produced.
