Quiet case fans

[tS_kStin]

So I need silent fans or near silent that are not really expensive aka Nactua. I need 2 or 3 for a Bitfenix Prodigy. It is my server and it is in my room so I want it to be near silent for when I sleep being it will be on all the time.

Noctuas are the most silent. If not Corsair has a few silent optimized and good looking fans

[piplupgao]

just adjust the speed to around 800rpm from my experience that is nearly silent

Yeah I know nactuas are but they are just too much for me. So are you talking about the SP-120 air series?

I have done that but I have really bad fans and still are still loud.

Be Quiet! silent wings 2 are good fans, but pricey.

I got some Cougar Turbines and once its undervolted its not not that loud imo. Connected one to a motherboard header to adjust the speeds.

Like more than Nactua?

I have Silverstone AP122 as my case fan and you can't hear it when it's on 7v.

They are pretty close it's in that top tier of fans from vendors like Noctua, noiseblocker, and phanteks. I prefer Be Quiet! fans because they look so much better and are extremely quiet. Linus has a video about there 120mm fan.

If for rads, yes. for case fans go for the AFs

The only problem with the AFs is if you have anything that could obstruct it's airflow it has no real static pressure to overcome that.

You're Wrong. Theyre P-12 is Extremly silent if you compare it to their new fans (A-14,F-12,A-15). There are quieter Fans out there.

Prolimatech Red/Blue Vortex 14 for 140mm i have them and they are UNHEARABLE at 12V. and i rly mean Unhearable if you want i do a Video. It's Quieter than my Noctua NF-F12 with it's L.N.A Adapter. for 120mm Bitfenix Spectre Pro or Cougar Dual-X

There is nothing in the way, the drives are right below the mounting point so it is a straight shot to the important stuff.

One problem, it is about $30 for 1 fan http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835242015 if I got the wrong fan then let me know.

[tS_kStin]

Just for everyone's info, I have a fan controller. I think I forgot to mention that earlier.
