Best Fans for Radiators

Helloooo everyone,

 

So my parts list is starting to become complete, but now i need to choose what fans to use on my radiators. I have not very good ones in my case right now so I need to buy new ones. 

 

I will be using 120mm fans on both of my radiators. 

 

I hear Noctua's PWM fans are very good but they are just SO UGLY. 

 

Are there other brands out there that match performance?

I ended up ordering 3 Noctua NF-F12's just to start off. Thanks for the Suggestions everyone! 

 

You definitely can't go wrong with these.

The only fans that have been reccomended that I wouldn't buy are the Corsair SP fans. They are not bad, just not nearly as good as some others.

 

I personally run all Gentle Typhoons Ap-15's and absolutely love them.

I have Corsair AF140's in my case right now and they arent too bad. Just to replace stock 140 mm fans that came with the case. Perform much better than those stock ones :P

Oh yes I completely agree there. I am using some Corsair AF140L fans at 7 volts that came with my 900D and I like them. I was talking about their SP series, since there are quite a few other better options for radiator fans.

Me too :) They're quiet, push a lot of air and have high static pressure.

Very nice :) Nice sleeving as well. I had to get my phone out on Tapatalk because my work blocks images on here :(

I really need to get around to posting my pictures/specs on here for my rigs..
