Best 80mm fans

[xiej]

Hello, I want to get some 80mm fans for my Mini-ITX build in the Thermaltake Core V1. There are no fans in the back, and I want to fill the back of it with 2 80mm fans. What are some good ones? I would prefer them to be black and have red LEDs, and I'm using a fan splitter, thanks for the help

maybe Thermaltake own one's? but i really dont know wether they are good or not.

Noctua, always a solid choice but gray color:

Noiseblocker, all black and also good performing:

More reasonable, still excellent choice (Not black tho)

Silverstone makes excellent fans too

Personaly, i wouldn't buy a led 80mm fan, there are no good ones, it's better if you buy led strips separately.

good choice, performance over aesthetics

but maybe consider the lower rpm(1200rpm)/3pin version of the fan.

"i'm using a fan splitter" sound not like youre controling the speed of the fan's

? Fan splitters still allow for fan speeds to be controlled.

That would just be a powered fan hub.

I didn't know that my water cooler had a fan splitter until I installed everything. I wish I got the LTT Noctua fans, as I don't like the 'puke tan and poop brown' :huh: color scheme of Noctua.
