120mm case fan that is whisper quiet

[nikorr]

Hi guys,

Can u recommend a 120mm case fan that is whisper quiet and great coolers as well. The best I can get my hands on : ) Need 3x.


I have Antec fans that came installed in the case and they did a job 24/7 for 3 years.

They (Antec)cannot be plugged in the motherboard as they are IDE Power Male to 2 Female connectors.



Thanx a lot.

Have 4 of them and can hear my harddrives spin up and clicking.

sure, there are other options, but I have had these for going on 2 years and none of them have died, where other brands are reported dead witin a few months.

haven't really found anyone reporting this fan as dead, it is only a 1300 rpm, but does move plenty of air.

Take a look at Noctua fans. They make quality products that are very quiet. I have a few in my case as well as my CPU cooler. They have an odd color scheme that some people don't care for. I recommend checking them out as a serious contender for quiet quality.

Thanx, but I don't like the fan speed knob.

I wonder if any speed controller can override the fan speed knob, if u set it to the lowest setting, if it will still kick in to the highest speed if needed.

Not bad, how long is the connecting cable for the mobo? It looks short.

Yep i try not to mess around when i recommend components.
My 902 is over 2yrs old now and one of my Tri-Cools is starting to make noise.
I'll be replacing all of them at some point with the TB Silence Blue Led version of that model.
Love the cleaning feature too!= i smoke
Good stuff!
