Which cougar fan to pick?

[Guest]

I don't know which Cougar fan to pick. I'll be replacing all fans.

I'll be running this system (I don't really think this will generate much heat, but who knows):
i3-2120
Asus p8z77-v lk
sapphire hd 7770
seasonic s12ii 520w
4gb ram

along with the "Cooler Master HAF 912" case/chassis.

Cougar Vortex PWM fans (alternative Scythe Gentle Typhoon)

Take your pick they're all the same fan = which is a good low cost quiet fan.
I have 4 of them.
Who cares if you can't see the led,airflow is what you're after.

Since you have four anyway, how long have they lasted? Do they push a lot of air? Do they have a 200mm and 140mm version?

I'm going to put the 200mm at the front of the case

EDIT: Nvm, Megaflow is the one I'm looking for

I have had them about four months now.They don't push as much as the Cougar Vortex PWM fans or Scythe Gentle Typhoon of course but there very good.I have mine configure front intake, top and back exhaust! Normally done that way!

Yep, if you can wait they periodically go on sale for $10 a piece at newegg, but that is only around $3 difference so unless you are really strapped.
