Red LED Fans

[mathmeister]

I need like 7 fans for my InWin 303 and I wanted to go with red led fans but I can't find any good ones at $20 or lower. I was looking at the AF120 Silence Edition with the LEDs but I heard the model with the LEDs is trash. Any ideas?

Get regular fans and separate LED strips. You're going to want to turn the LEDs off at some point.

I might do that instead but if I wanted red LED fans what would I go with?

only $8.34 but if you think the "AF120 Silence Edition with the LEDs are trash" you'll have nightmares at the thought of these.

I just heard the LED model of the AF120 is bad.

How quiet are they?

They aren't super quite, but nothing will be at that price point. But they aren't loud and annoying IMO

I have them I believe set to go between 800-1200

 

But if you want truly great led fans then it will be more like this
