What rad fan?

[Janssent11041]

Hello 

I need to buy a fan for my radiator and everybody is recommending NF-F12 or SP120.

A lot of people say they're great.

But after some research I found out that some say they are loud and others even say they're inefficient.

I'd really like to hear this from somebody who has them (preferably both).

Thanks!

noctua's are very silent anyone who thinks they are loud need to set their expectations lower....

 

i dont have experience with the SP120's

I don't have notcuta fans but I do use cougar fans which I really recommend, they have great speccs and look alot better imo =P

The loudness of the fan will depend on the RPM it's spinning at. I don't think you'll find any fan that will run at max speed and be near silent as well.

 

I'd recommend Noctua NF-F12, which is available in black now, or, if you're able to find them, Scythe Gentle Typhoon AP-15.
