Looking for case fan

[lamdnhan]

Howdy,

 

I just got a Cooler Master elite 130, it comes with 80mm side fan. However, the fan run quite loud and make some vibration which I don't like.

 

I'm looking for a 80mm slim fan, around 15-20mm thick, quiet, preferred with pwm control.

 

Also, what is a good 120mm fan for AIO liquid CPU cooler, quiet and good airflow?

 

:rolleyes:

I don't know about 80mm but here's a good deal on a great 120mm: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/358837-ncixus-noctua-nf-s12a-flx-1099-ends-54/

Also, here's a 80mm I'm about to throw in my new build.  $3 and has good reviews.  Maybe not Noctua level of premium build quality but probably good enough for me.

I think your search is pretty futile. First, there are very few slim fans not even talking about 80mm ones. Secondly, from the ones you could get, the noise level would not be so much better because they still need to run at very high rpm to push as much air as 120mm and 140mm would need  (Probably about a 1000 RPM difference). So what I am trying to say is that you would experience very little performance benefit and noise reduction from a slightly better 80mm slim fan than the one already found in your case.

 

I am still going to make you a suggestion for the lols: Evercool EC8015HH12BP
