Budget? Purpose?

Less than $250 and for gaming.

Hi,

These are probably the best in the market right now. And well within your budget ($26 each at newegg).

Please correct me if I am wrong since I need four 120 mm case fans for my SFX build as well :D But I am going with these cause their 20mm depth instead of the usual 25 mm.

I was also surprised to see that Noctua doesn't have any slim 120 mm fans (depth below 25mm)! How did that happen?!

What kind of dollars are you using?

What are your specs and where are you using the fans?

REREAD. I am using US dollars, check my signature for my specs, and I only have 1 on the back.

Hm? Why get new fans? What's wrong with the fans you already have?

I have two 120mm fans. They're really noisy and don't really help cool anything.

What fans do you have and have you tried lowering their fan speeds?

How did you determine that they don't help cool anything? Did you try removing them and seeing no change or are your temps too high?

I do not know what fans I have and do not how to lower the fan speed. I use CAM and the temperature is too high.

The highest temperature I've seen my processor is 100 degrees fahrenheit and for my graphics card 120 degrees fahrenheit. Also, the back fan has stopped working

Hello there!
May I inform you there is no currently any such thing as a 'gaming' fan. Although, I would imagine you mean one simply to keep airflow movement in uniform whilst under load without the fans becoming of unreasonable noise output? So a fan in which is best suited to fluctuating temperatures?

 

If this is so, a PWM fan is recommended. This being credited to there delivering of often higher Static Air Pressure rating, this allowing for usage on more Static objects such as a heat dissipater (Radiator), or a heat sink . Furthermore, PWM fans tend to have more flexibility in fan RPM ranges, helping to keep a secure balance often between noise output and airflow movement (The higher the RPM of a fan, the more noise as it rotates faster to keep things brief.).

 

Thank you! Need further information? Please do not hesitate to ask me!

I once did the unthinkable, back many headphones ago...

I split an audio split, again

If you're not sure what fans you have, post some photos here and we might be able to identify them.

Those are low temps. Your cpu is fine up to 62c and your gpu up to 80-90c at load.
