I have an Antec 300 case. I already have 1 120mm  and 1 140mm fractal design fans I want to replace. I need 3 120mm fans, and 1 140mm. They need to be really quiet, and budget friendly.

I hAve an unfinished pc build. Pls dont bully for not having one yet or i cry.

Quiet, and budget friendly you say?

 

The be quiet! Pure Wings 2 PWM come in 120 and 140 sizes and are quiet, don't cost too much, and move a lot of air.

Well, the be quiet silent wings are pretty good. Or pure wings for airflow optimized.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

On the hyper 212 I would use silent wings because they're for static pressure. I do believe they're a bit quieter.

The hyper 212 evo has semi-loud fans, but they're loud compared to the be quiet fans

How cheap is considered budget? On the cheap side there's the Arctirc F12 and F14, ok performance, low noise levels, very cheap. If you can pay more for use-oriented designs (static pressure optimized vs airflow optimized, former pushes air harder, latter pushes more air) then I'll recommend Phanteks MP fans (pressure), Fractal HF fans (airflow) and the Noctua S series fans (the grey ones, also airflow).

 

I don't like be quiet fans because they drop speed and performance compared to other fans in other to achieve lower noise levels, which I think is stupid because motherboards (excluding those on mass produced prebuilt systems) support fan speed control and you can slow fans down manually, achieving the same result while still having the ability to blast the fans for maximum cooling if needed.

They are set to standard and I can hear them. I have them on silent right now and it’s still quite loud.

I also recommend arctic F12 pwm and f14 pwm if on a low budget, but if the budget is a bit higher BeQuiet PureWings 2 fans are great.

If your budget is massive go for Noctua fans.

I only see your reply if you @ me.
