Fans

[adzx]

Hello,

I need help choosing which 120mm fans I'd use for my pc,
I've got a http://www.fractal-design.com/?view=product&prod=71

Which 120mm fans should I use for my pc?

 

[geekapproved]

Any 120mm fans. It also takes 140mm fans.

depends how much you want to spend--whether you want leds whether noise bothers you

i use silverstone air penetrators--not the cheapest but i really like the way they look and they are pretty quiet too

and great leds --the leds are in the hub not the frame so give a full circle of light not just lines

If you don't mind noise and want to keep your stuff as cool as possible, Delta fans are good, but expensive.
If you want super cooling, lots of noise, but don't need the top of the line, Scythe Ultra Kaze fans are great.
However, if you need your computer to closer resemble a purring cat instead of a turboprop engine, try a lower RPM Noctura. I have never had one, but they always get good reviews...

bad link.

most of the ones i have seen, have black and white fans so i would stick with that theme.

These Yate loons are great fans at a great price 4/$20: http://www.petrastechshop.com/12yalod1cafa.html

Edit: I use them in my current build on a Kaze Master Pro fan controller. I run them at 1000RPM and they are silent.

Yeah, Yate Loons are not bad at all. I use 140mm Yate Loons all over my case, and are virtually silent...

I've heard the silverstone is pretty great, but I've heard of push and pull fans. Will I need to get different fans for the different areas of the pc?

 

[mcnumpty23]

push pull usually refers to 2 fans on a water cooling radiator

one pushes air into it one pulls it out of the rad

Alright, thanks for clearing that up for me.

no problem

to make a fan push or pull air you just mount it in the case the other way round--so all fans can be used as intake or exhaust
