Hi LTT Forum,


So, i'm looking to get 11 fans for my current rig (Caselabs Mercury s8), and i'm wondering what everyone recommends for fans?


I've had a few LTT edition Noctuas however some of them have started to make buzzing and clicking noises. So, i'm a little wary on getting more Noctuas. The color scheme doesn't help, I'd also like to keep things black if possible.
I'm looking to try and spend no more than $20 per fan but even that's kinda high for me. (Must have PWM)


Thank you for your time and advice,

PBR38

Without provided maximum dimensions for each fans I shan't have correctly tailored information. Also, I heavily, heavily doubt you shall ever require of eleven fans for a presumed 'Air' cooled system, as noise may become of an issue incredibly quickly without low noise adapters & alike. Running these fans at lower RPMs may be optimal if possible.

 

Nether the less,

 

My personal recommendation for such proposed budget & for the amount of fans to which you need (Noise to amount ratio) would be some http://www.blacknoise.com/site/en/products/noiseblocker-it-fans/nb-eloop-series/120x120x25mm.php?lang=EN to which would offer exceptionally adequate airflow movement regardless of use case scenario for your future ambitions with highly recommended bearings for smooth rotation with massively minimal noise output.

 

Furthermore I do believe there amongst the highest construction quality graded fans with a 'High quality class' rating.

 

 

 

 

 

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