Hi guys,
I've just ordered an Enthoo Pro, it's coming in 10 days and since it's my birthday I was looking into some premium fans to add or replace the ones the case have. I don't care much about the price since these are "presents" but I'm more interested in Quietness and Performance. You could see it as:
Quiet >= Performance > Price
I have some questions to ask you, I've tried to look into previous threads but now I'm more confused than before, so here I am!
1) The case comes with a 140mm back exhaust fan and a 200mm front intake fan. Are these fans any good?
2) I know that not may manifacturers that make good 200mm fans, and 2x140mm == 1x200mm as far as the overall area is concerned. But what about noise and performance?
3) The case comes with a fan hub. I have seen confusing instructions about this, will I be able to control all these fans in PWM mode with my motherboard? (see details below)
4) Noctua has presented their new series of Industrial fans, how quiet are these fans compared to the standard series? The name suggests they are not aimed at silent configurations, but the standard series is really ugly!
5) If i want to keep both drive cages should I prefer Static Pressure fans?
6) Keeping in mind what I've said (Quiet >= Performance > Price) what brand and model do you suggest me for each type? I've seen Noctua and Noiseblocker fans often recommended.
Here's my setup:
Intel Core i5-2500K
Asus P8P67 PRO Rev3.1
Corsair XMS3 DDR3 3x2Gb
Ati Sapphire HD 5770
Samsung PRO 128Gb (OS)
Samsung EVO 120GB (Games)
WesternDigital HD 300Gb (Media and other games)
XFX 850W Bronze 80+
LG Flatron W2253V 23'' 1920x1080
Thanks in advance!
