whats the best Quiet 200mm fan?

[elie776]

i'm looking for a 200mm case fan that is somewhat quiet and great, the case i'm using is the Corsair 650d and the front fan is just to loud for me. I undervolted the fan to 5v still to loud for me (any brand i don't care which one)

But 200mm is a pretty bad standard, if you have the mounting holes for a 180mm Silverstone Air Penetrator or 2x 120mm quality fans, go for that instead as it'll push more air. The reason is that the length of the blades on 200mm fans and above make them wobble a significant amount and thus lose both air pressure and flow.

 

180mm technically has the same problem, but not so much, and also the Silverstone Air Penetrator is stiffer and structurally stronger so it has good results in both categories.

I myself have inbuilt bitfenix spectre 230mm. They are quite much louder than normal 120 or 140 millimeter fans, so i`d reccoment your solution aswell. Dont know much about 180s though

200mm fans are good for airflow as they do move a lot of air. Static pressure doesn't really matter for a case fan so i can safely recommend the Bitfenix Spectro Pros, i personally own one and it is very quiet.

There is a whole list to choose from: I heard the CM Megaflows are pretty good.

The Coolermaster MegaFlow 200mm is a good choice.

One of the worst fans I've had, avoid. Rattles and much noisier than the regular spectres.

Oh never realized that this fan had problems but could it be a bad batch?

If that CM 200mm is the fan that comes with HAF XM case, then I hate this fan...

 

I am trying very hard to find a good quiet fan to replace this one.

I'd suggest the Silverstone AP181 if you can fit it. It's an awesome fan and bloody noisy when at full throttle but can still push enough air when silent.

It's my quietest fan in my case I don't know why Silverstone went for an odd size though.
