Pretty much as title says, mine has started making a bit of noise, any suggestions for replacement? The cheaper the better :D

If you want silent fans i can recommend Bequiet Shadow Wings. They come in three different speed-level low-mid-high, so you even get to choose how much WOOSH you want to have. ;) I'm recomend the mid speed.

who cares...

Apache's are good: http://pricespy.co.nz/product.php?p=473722

PW2's are a bit worse performing but are quieter: http://pricespy.co.nz/product.php?p=2154844

I'm not sure of the bracket on the 212 Plus but on the EVO you can't use pan head or domed screws. You'll need a lower profile like a countersunk flattop. I ran into this putting Jetflo 120's on mine. (The Jetflo has machine threads and pan head screws.)

1. Overclock until the magic smoke comes out. 2. Modify until broken. 3. Fix and repeat.

212 Plus is best option.

That's why I got it. Also because it was only $16 nzd (60 new)
