Today I built a computer today and noticed that it didn't included front case fans. rip hhd. I was wondering if the COUGAR CF-V12HB Vortex were any good. Just need quiet and good airflow. or I could get the more expensive NF F12s. If I get the NFF12s, currently i'm going to have to use the adapter so I can use the rear stock fan because my motherboard only has one case fan. Thoughts?  

 

 

Edit. If I get the Cougar fan, I'm going to have to run it at full speed through the power supply adapter.

You must "Quote" to get my attention​.

yes, I have the 140 versions.  they max out at 1200 rpm so they don't make much noise at all and produce good air as far as i can tell, don't have anything scientific to use. and yeah just use a fan spitter or hub.

I'm guessing the Cougar's are the way to go because no one else recommended anything

AP123s from silverstone, channeled airflow, quiet, high SP, decent price.
