Replacing 200mm fans in H630. Recommendations?

I've found Spectre Pros to be good fans at smaller sizes (120/140mm), but they're unexceptional at 200mm. CM MegaFlow I can recommend at 200mm without hesitation.

I have the FN series 200mm fans on the top of my H630 and the standard 200mm in the front. They vibrate and are freaking loud.

 

Suggestions for replacement 200mm fans?

Ah, I looked at these before. The air pressure seems low... do all 200mm fans have such low pressure?

Yes, because the fan spins at a low rpm.

You'd get plenty of airflow and silence out of 200mm fans. If you're worried about static pressure, try to get rid of any HDD cages that may be blocking the front, and you're good to go.

Also, have you tried tightening the fan to the case to see if it gets rid of the vibrating issue?

Bitfenix Spectre. Thought you have to check measurements carefully. Pro ones are wider than normals.

I'll try tightening it. It only vibrates when I turn on my computer, oddly enough. After a minute or two it stops vibrating to a larger degree.

I haven't heard good things from this forum about Bifenix Spectres. They aren't worth the money or something?

Linus just said on WAN show few weeks back that they give too little credit on Spectre fans. I have one Spectre Pro fan (140mm) and had 200mm Pro for awhile (didn't fit). I can say that I was happy with them. There are better airflow fans but Spectres are nice compromise between airflow and static pressure.

 

The reason why they aren't normally ones people suggest are because Noctuas are better in general and Corsair, CM, BeQuiet! and such are on same price range but better known. Or have better color options, more targeted audience etc.

Compared to my aerocool Ds

Ahh, I see. The specs on the 20mm Spectre fans are much better than the CM MegaFlow. Might just go for those BitFenix fans. Noctua doesn't make 200mm fans as far as I can tell and neither do BeQuiet. I guess I'm pretty limited in choice in 200mm fans.

Read some reviews first. There are a lot of cases where the listed specs don't represent real performance, and some fans with lower specs might undervolt better than competing fans with better specs.

Ah, you're right. The CM MegaFlow is much better at non-100% performance.
