I was wondering from a user aspect what type of rad mounted fans in push config would work the best with low noise and high sp?? I'm currently looking into gental typhoon's, silverstone ap123, noctua nf-s12, corsair sp 120 maybe.. Heard lots of negative reviews on build quality and noise related issues..

Also I don't know much about aerocool fans but I love look of them and I have read a few positive reviews http://www.aerocool.us.. I'm building a white/theme build so any fans with white /black or black/white would be a plus because they will easily seen in my tower window..

Thx for the quick reply, looking into them now..

These fans are going to be mounted to 1 360mm top rad and a 240mm front rad in a 760t

Noctua NF-f12 expensive but worth it.

the corsairs SP120 loud but they also exist in as quiet edition. but the shape is still suboptimal for radiator use.

the Noiseblockers can be hard to get in some regions.

 

also i recomend a pull configuration to reduce dust buildup betwen radiator and fan

The noctua fans are great, I would love to buy them but I just hate the fact they are brown/beige.. I only hear great things about them.. And the Noiseblockers look very promising but you are right I'm not sure where to purchase them?? Anyone know??

You can just paint them. But be careful.

you could take the noctua industrial ones they cost more but are black. just dont take the 3000rpm ones they are loud as hell.

So far, the best I have tested out are the EK Vardar ones from a performance/noise point of view. If silence is a bigger criteria, you can either slow them down or look at something like the Phanteks PH-F120MP instead.

 

 

Do you perhaps have a link to your testing? I think you mentioned you had a new site that you post your benching & testing on, I'm curious about those new EK Vardars for whenever I finally get money to finish my loop.
