Which Fans?!

[Akolyte]

So, I recently asked what I should upgrade, and allot of people said CPU cooler and some also said other things.  In order to get both I've decided to instead get a new quieter fan for my hyper 212 evo.  There are several options at this new place I'm trying to buy from.  There are these fans there that I might get:

 

Scythe Gentle Typhoon AP-14 (cheapest)

 

Noctua NF-F12

 

Corsair SP 120 quiet edition

 

For my case fans, there are also several options:

 

Bitfenix Spectre Pro 120mm

 

Corsair AF 120 quiet edition

 

Noctua NF-F12

 

Fractal Design Silent Fan

 

I'm not sure how the hell these compare, its my first time ever shopping for fans.  So, I'm not sure what to get.  I've heard good things about them all.  Although, I was surprised they had Gentle Typhoons in stock since I couldn't find them anywhere else in NZ

Nahh, I wont buy them and take advantage of people.  I think everyone needs a chance.  But thanks for your input

 overpriced, especially on the other side of the planet

Fractals or Noctua's if they are too expensive  go for the Corsair's

@Manny Calavera I found an 800rpm version of the fan.  Should I get that instead?

If you want quiet pc yes. But else, there are cheaper fans out there. Depends on price difference and what you want.

Get the SP120's if they're cheap, i got mine for £4 and they're better than my old ones ahah

[Lays]

I highly recommend AP-14's, especially if it's the cheapest option. They'll be the quietest out of all those options

[loccilucas]

Get the GT's or noctua's, (GT's if possible). I would also reccomened noiseblocker blacksilent pros, the corsairs are crap and the bitfenix's arnt good either compared to GT's or noctua's.

[Akolyte]

Okay guys, I'll get the Gentle Typhoons, I'll get one 1450rpm and one 800rpm, they are rare now days (Gentle Typhoons) but I'm going to get one of each and see which one I like best, I'll go with the 800rpm fans for the case fans since I wont need anything above 800rpm. 

 

If I am unable to get the GTs for some reason I will get either Noctua fans or Corsair Fans.  Probably Corsair fans because Noctua's are crazy expensive here.
