I don't reccommed them they are extremely loud/ noisy and I highly reccommed Gentle Typoons they are quiet and have excellent performance

Depends, if you think GTs are silent at 2300rpm, you may be wrong, any fan is noisy at that speed, but you don't want to run it like that, 1500 is my max, then it starts to get noisy, depends on personal preference.

Codename: HighFlyer, specs:  CPU: i5 2500k cooled by a H70ish(2 rad)   Mobo: MSI MPower Z77   GPUs: Gigabyte GTX 660 OC 1150 MHZ core, 3150 memory both   RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16G @1600mhz   SSD: ADATA Premier Pro sx900 / HDD Seagate Barracuda 1TB/Samsung 1TB   Power supply: Corsair RM650 80+ Gold   Case Corsair Carbide 500R   5.4 ghz achieved on the good old 2500k, may it rest in peace. Current daily OC is 4.8 @1.41 v

What fans do you recommend? For thick rads. Thanks :)

You can get Gentle Typoons in different rpm models :p

I'm going to state the obvious and say the Noctua NF-F12s are the best rad fans.

Just read/watched through the whole thing. I stand corrected. :)

 

Although they are still good for slower speeds.

Get a fan controller and get either the gentle typhoons or corsair sp120's and you'll be fine.

 Gentle Typoons are really nice ;)

He is the hero this forum deserves but not the one it needs right now.So we'll hunt him because he can take it because he is not our hero he is a silent guardian
