Currently I have 4 120mm fans and 1 240mm fan in my case. They are all cheap crappy fans and they are REALLY loud. I have been trying to get my case quieter but can't decide on which fans to use.

I want to get 6 not expensive quiet fans. Preferably ones with green leds.

 

I have heard that these are good but which one should I use?

 

CoolerMaster SickleFlow

 

BitFenix Spectre Pro

 

NoiseBlocker BlackSilent Pro

I think you're referring to the Spectre Pros.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

Spectre Pros and Sickleflows aren't all that great. Akasa Apache's/Rosewill Hyperborea's are great, Cougar Turbines are too.

Akasa/Rosewill option are about $10 each, and come in both 120mm and 140mm sizes. Cougar Turbines come in four packs and singles for the 120mm size, and two packs and singles for 140mm.

 

If LED's are a must then I'd recommend some Cougar CFD Series 120mm/140mm LED fans, the have green ones. But they'll be about $17 a fan.

That's Spectre or Spectre Pro (LED) you're thinking about.

They're okay but far from great. The Pro's are a bit more mediocre.

 

Look at Gelids Wings instead or Cougar Dual-X's if you can't find Wings.
