Good Case Fans

[hhamama66]

So, with my current fan setup, I have two Corsair AF120 in exhaust, one AF120 mounted in the very bottom for intake for my GPU, and two Alphacool Eiswind 120 fans mounted to a radiator also as intake. I'm looking to replace these fans with quieter fans. The problem is, I don't know which fans to choose. I'm currently considering Noctua, Fractal Design's Venturi fans, or Corsair's ML fans. What do you guys think are the quietest and offer the best value on the dollar?

best fan for the dollar... throw noctuas out. not even that quiet either... herd alot of good things about venturi fans, and some others are scyths but idk if you can stillfind them. i love the bequiet silent wings 3 but heir about $20 each. but best performance per dollar are probably gonna be your really cheap silent fans. sure they wont last as long but you cant beat the price

Noctua redux fans are prob the best in price for silence and quality

Probably Corsair ML, I know it's pricey.

I wonder sometimes if people praising Noctua fans even used them before lol. The performance is good, but they get loud just like any other fan at 12v. 

 

If you want a good all rounder fan for price and quiet performance, get some Venturi fans.

I have 4 Corsair ML Pros (3 x 120mm intake + 1 x 140mm exhaust + Corsair H100i GTX w/ 2 x SP120mm in push at the top) in 1 build and 4 Corsair ML White LEDs (3 x 120mm intake + 1x 140mm exhaust + Corsair H100i V2 w/ 2 x SP120mm in push at top) in another build. I found the MLs to be pretty much silent, they never are at an RPM even while gaming or running any intensive programs that causes them to make noise. In the 2nd build, I'm using a Phanteks Enthoo Evolv TG Edition case which has basically no sound dampening foam because of the tempered glass on both sides and I still can't hear them. I personally haven't use Noctua's because I've heard they're loud af and they're pretty ugly tbh too. I like that the Corsair MLs have great performance and looks. I chose White LED ones for my 2nd build not just because of the cost but because I thought the soft white looked better than the lights on the HD series. I included a pic of my 2nd pc so you can see what they look like.
