I'm tired of seeing mixed messages for radiator fan types, so I'm starting a poll for the best type of fans. There will be separate polls for 120mm and 140mm fans.

 

Help me help you! (and other people) :P

 

Try to post actual models of the fans, as I'm looking into some 140mm fans that have some high static pressure.

CPU: Intel i5-2320 @ 3.9gHz

GPU: MSI GTX 670 PE @ 1411/7387

I wanna go fast! :P

My favorite fans are defiantly noctua (nf-f12 to be exact) but I don't really think there is a "best" fan out there. I mean there are some that perform alot better than others but once you get to the high grade stuff from each company its kinda mixed. Also it depends how people run it like for a quite build they won't run the fans at full rpm or for an led fan they are going to pick ones with leds, weather they are the best fans or not.

I meant best as in radiator performance (cooling). xD I love my LED's though.
