radiator fans

[MorganO]

hi, im gonna be using 780t with a 360 in the top and 240 in the front, i dont know what fans to use for the 360 rad they will be in pull and exhaust , the front will be intake and i want to put 3 120mm fans in the front to increase airflow since watercooling, and i want to set it up for postive pressure, also what fan hub should i get, the mobo i want comes with enough for 3 fans and i will need another for the front 3, im gonna be using ekwb rads and all that, i was thinking the EK vardar fans but is there any alternatives that are simmailriy priced (£15-20 per fan)

 

many thanks

Check out the Corsair ML120's, excellent fans, probably just edge out the Vardar's overall.

 

Do you need a fan hub? You can run x3 fans of a motherboard header with a splitter. If you want a hub, the Aqua Computer Poweradjust is supposed to be very good (there are a few variations on it, with differing features).

well there will be 7 fans with the possibility of 10 total, i would like for it to be easier to control the speeds

I've put gentle Typhoon (Nidec) in push and Thermaltake Riing in pull, very efficient and nice looking. You can also go for EK-Vardar F3-120 in push, they're nearly as good

They are great but have to be PWN controlled for normal good performance. If not they seem to behave not to good I think I saw mentioned in several reviews.

well there is a 3x pack with a hub controlling RGB colors for 50£, but if you just need one color then yes I think 4x£ is enough for three

I bought this hub for my Gentle typhoons, they are 3 Pin and it allows the use of PWM on them. It works, but not as well as real PWM fans (can't get them to run as slow as with a 5v resistor)
