Which Fans

[zxcvbnmmssdh]

So I am looking for some case fans in my Prodigy M. I will only be able to fit 2 or 3 in there. I was looking at the NF-F12 when I realized they were made for radiators. I saw the NF-S12A and I thought it would be good because my case has poor cable management because the case itself is terribly designed for cable management. I want silent fans. If not the aforementioned ones, does anyone have any good 120 mm fans? Any budget really, just not ridiculous.

bequiet! Silent Wings 2 or Corsair AF120

My friends have AF120's and they aren't very quiet, especially when the case is gonna be filled with cables that are restricting airflow

Gentle Typhoons. I have the 800rpm/9dB ones for my case fans, and they're basically inaudible.

I can barely here mine. Are they the stock ones that come with a case? Because they're loud as hell

Seconded. Scythe fans are great, I really wish they were more popular in the US.

I have Corsair SP120 (which is what I think you meant) they blow out an incredible amount of air but are damn loud because if anything is within an inch of the fan it make a mind blowing noise, and of course the edge of the case is there.

Hmm, maybe it's just how my fans are placed then... I've heard good things about Gentle Typhoons as well, but I've never used them myself.

Can they cool very well? I need good cooling performance as well has quietness preferably.

Yeah, it should be fine. Your CPU cooler is very good for air cooling, so that should be fine too.

I have the Cougar Turbine 120mm fans and they push alot of air and are quiet imo. It can be undervolted which is great.  The 4 pack is a good deal imo.

Can't say anything on American retailers as I live in Finland. But here's a product page.

Go with Noctua They have that solid metal bearing and 6 years of warranty services

Corsair are also good but after 2 years of continous usage the bearing just outright dies u have to peel the sticker and keep adding diesel engine to keep it silent every like 5-6 months

 

So NOCTUA +++++++++

and  NF-S12A is nice choice
