Silent fans

[Cody A]

I need some help buying quiet fans for my radiator. Anyone know any reliable silent 120mm static pressure fan that I can buy off Amazon with Prime? If there isn't any good ones on Amazon, then I'll be open to other websites such as Newegg.

Noctua fans are about as good as they come. My friends on his radiators are impressively quiet even at max RPM.

Cougar Vortex is also really quiet, at least their decibel rating is impressively low, and the performance numbers are really good too.

I say go with the silent wing all for the black color. 

 

I myself use 4 different noctua model fans(excluding the nf-f12 because its loud as fuck) so noctua is a sure hit but its ugly as all hell.

Well mostly Noctua fans are well used for that kind of thing.
But there's also other manufacturer.
Like cooler master and corsair.
So take ur pick.
-Cooler master silencio 120mm
-Corsair Ml series <- So overpriced

-Be quiet Shadow wing/Pure wing

-Thermaltake riing

 

Can vouch for Thermaltake riings, have the rgb's and feel it's a very minimal compromise of performance for appearance, if you're into that sort of thing anyway. Not the best price/performance ratio so the appearance would likely have to entice you to be worth it. If appearance isn't a concern, Noctua vomits are good performers.

Can't go wrong with Corsair SP120's quiet edition, or performance edition if you prefer. They cost about 25 USD on new egg for a twin pack depending on what you get, so they won't break the bank.  The PWM versions are around 30 USD for the twin pack.

SP120 QE's are alright. PE's are loud and not worth getting. The PWM versions aren't as smooth sounding. 

 

Some good options are

Guys! Thank you so much, I'll do some research on all of the suggested fans. Sorry this reply was so late, I've been busy with midterms and I never got Chrome notifications!

bests ones for many people including me are EK vardar and Nidec Gentle Typhoon

I use the ones that came with my NZXT 340, I even got an extra fan from NZXT, I've tried some Corsair SP140's with red LED's, but I could not get over how rough they sounded compared to the whisper quiet NZXT's.
