Fans for my radiator? Just built custom loop

Can anyone recommend me some really quality fans?


Need them to be PWM, as silent as possible, with the highest CFM.


I currently have the following fans: Koolance Fan, 120x25mm (FAN-12025MBK) running on my 240mm radiator and they are not PWM and slightly on the louder side. They do give me great performance so I'd like to find something similar to these yet PWM/slightly quieter. These koolance fans are apparently rated at 90CFM and 30.1db max but I feel like they are waaaay too loud. They are running at 2100RPM.


Would like to spend ~40$ish max on the 2 fans if possible?


I've seen the topic from overclock.net about like 500 fans but theres just far too many and it seems a little dated/unclear to me.


Would like something simpler. Thanks for the help


 


Anyone have opinions on the EK Vardars, SP120, Noctua fans? Which ones should I go with? Any others I can look at? Help!

NB E Loops, or the ~1800 rpm version of Vardar would be great here IMO.

Go to performance pcs, probably cheaper there.

 

I think the 1500 / 1850 / 2100 versions would be best for you, pick your poison :P

Yeah those are the ones I was thinking of.

 

I think they make one that is 1800 RPM or something like that, that may be better for you since it won't be quite as loud

I think im gonna buy the above ones because they are PWM 800-2000RPM so I should be able to regulate the noise decently. Thanks for the suggestions, gonna order now.
