Gathering a List of Good 200mm fans

[TVwazhere]

Gonna be shoving this into a 380T, as well as potential replacments for my Level 10 GT if I keep it that long. LED's (white namely) are a plus but a slightly lower priority

There's also the new "Master Fan" MF200R's (Coolermasters 200mm RGB fans on the H500P)  but I cant find a place to buy just the fans

I have a 200mm Thermaltake that came with my case, that works very well, good airflow and noise isn't an issue as it's just the noise of air passing through that you'd get with any fans.

Saying that though, if I had to buy one, I would most likely go Noctua, as long as looks isn't a problem.

Yeah I think the Thermaltake ones would be a direct replacment to the "red green blue" fans in the level 10 GT, just wasnt sure if there were some more updated options (Kinda like Noctua or CoolerMaster) Sadly Noctua didnt release a colored 200mm fan

I don't have anything else to add about the fans I'm sorry, other than ones I purchase for myself or family/friends/customers I don't see that many... I mostly stick to the Noctua ones as their performance has been first class for a number of years now... that's if the fans that come with chassis aren't good enough for the job. I always check first, no point spending money unnecessarily if they do the job fine... for some of my servers and others the included fans are generally good enough, as long as they don't have noise issues or don't move enough air.

 

Just out of curiousity, is that a 10Gbe card you have in there?  if so, how are you getting along with it?

Bitfenix spectre pros are great as long as you have them mounted horizontally like the one at the top of your case, not so great if mounted vertically as they develop a bit of a tick over time, something I remember Noctua mentioning as a hold up in getting their 200mm fans to market but Noctua said they resolved that issue

Yeah 2/3 of my fans in the current case are upright, and the new fan would also be upright. But i've had this case for three years (running almost 24/7, and when I say almost i really mean it, I dont turn my system off like ever) and theyre still quiet, although I'm running them at 600rpm, as i dont see a huge thermal improvement when putting them to 800

yeah lol, I'm pretty much the same way, sometimes I remember to put it to sleep or shut it down... just figured it would be some nice additional info since they move a lot of air and they're practically silent until ~850 rpm unless they start ticking
