Case Fan Recomendation

I'll be gettting a new case soon and I want dead quiet strong fans for it (gonna dump the stock ones into an old fanless case I have). And I can't get Noctua's, so don't even try that.

 

I've got 3 options in mind, are these good & quiet? Which is the best?

 

Option 1 - Lowest price

Option 2 - Costs a bit more

Option 3 - Cuz has 4 pins (costs even more)

 

 

I hate fans. So many of them. And it's so hard to find reviews...

No worries. I'd personally recommend the sickleflows.

If quiet fans are a concern, a SP120 might not be a good choice.

OP, you could look at the True Quiet 120, they are quiet but they don't move much air.

I would recommend to look at Rosewill Hyperboreas because they are amazing for their price.

I don't have access to the fans mentioned. And often times, thing just cost WAY more here.

Any Akasa Apaches? Pretty cheap everywhere I've seen them, good airflow, static pressure and noise level.

The cooler master's will be noticeably loud.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

Set so that it shows 120mm fans. On the right, there are 2 numbers, a dark blue and a green. Use the green as a reference. Try not passing the R$30,00 mark, though I can use a tiny bit more if it is REALLY worth it.

Something by Cougar seems to be the best from that selection. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

Probably your best option, they also come in all black versions but they don't seem to be sold by that retailer. If looks matter than I'd suggest looking around.

I would Shoot myself before buying another coolermaster 120mm fan, have to have that thing running at 1000 rpms and it's still on of the loudest things while gaming

Their 200mm fans on the other hand are quiet and push a decent amount of air, but with any coolermaster fan that I've encountered as you screw in the screw it threads the plastic, so its a lot of fun putting one fan on.

Cooler Master has some nice fans and a lot of worse and louder ones.

Most fans are self-tapping like that.
