fans,fans, fans!

hi guys

I have two issue to present you.

 

Problem 1: I am looking for 120mm and 140mm (preferably with no LEDs, but if it is possible white LED ) good for airflow.

I have to keep fresh the hdds in my 600T.
The front fan of my 600t is very noisy at full capacity and downstream of hdd I would put a 140mm fan. On the upper part I would put another fan  (always internally) of 120mm.

 

 

Problem 2: I have a case BitFenix Pandora with only two fans from 120mm. can you suggest  me a good and logical cooling?

 

uou would suggest add other fans (there should be other 4= 2 in the  front and 2 upper part) + cpu heatsink or a radiator AIO on cpu and leave only two fans?
The space is pretty tight ...

cpu for now is a g1820 but in the future will change definitely with something to oc. by now it is only for office usage

 

thank you all

and about 140mm?

I would bet on it!

 

Are they the cheapest and best I could find around?

what about noctua? too expensive?

what about noctua? too expensive?

noctua doesn't have white LED's. noctuas are worth for the airflow/silence. better than the af/sp120/140 series from corsair

if price/color doesn't concern you then get some noctuas. I highly recommend them. they're so damn quiet (I hve first hand experience with them)

LEDs are not a real issue...

 

what noctua models would you suggest?

 

I've found these

 

NF-P14s redux 1500

NF-P14r redux 1500

NF-P14s redux 900

NF-s12b redux 1200

NF-s12b redux 700

 

at good price.

 

What do you think?

[givingtnt]

and about 140mm?

af140mm. I hafe them and they work well

what do you think about fans on the previous post?

 

do you thinka a 140mm fan could be good for a bitfenix pandora case?

 

I think it's too tight

does it even fit 140mm ?

id go 120mm

The same I thought...

OK thanks.

So the best cheapest/airflow ratio is for the suggested corsair?

pretty much

though the case probably comes with fans anyways

the pandora has only two 120mm and I think they are not sufficient.

 

about the 600t I have a 200mm,a 140mm and a 120mm but on hdds I'd like to have another fan in pull together with the 140mm in push on the front.

I have 2 intakes in the front (140mm) on my 450d + the push pull of my h80i radiator in the back (120mm)

its a bit much. I odn't even know about 200mm fitting in the 600t.

What do you think?

The Redux series are cheaper for a reason - they're the older design series from Noctua and perform worse than the current models.

If you're after case fans get the NF-S12A (120mm) or NF-A14 (140mm).

Radiator fans get the NF-F12 (again 120mm).

You're better off not using the Industrial PPC versions as these come with fewer accessories and aren't compatible with the low noise adapters. The better construction is nice, but it's massive overkill for a normal user.

Actually I need of a 200mm for the 600t.

Like the spectre pro 200

The 120 and 140 model would be good for other PC of mine
