i need new radiator fans these are my options

[vESP]

i felt this would be more useful in the water cooling forum although they are fans used on rads..... move if need be. 

----------------------

So my corsair ml120 are slowly dying which annoys me as i removed the 3rd fan off my push pull rad this morning due to death.

they are also too loud for my liking even with the fancy mag lev design.

So i have the chance to get some fans at clearance at a australian store [ my region ] for between 12 and 16$ at almost a 50% discount per fan. im going to post some links can you guys suggest which ones would be best for me? i want power but more silence as i water cooled my system for better temps and a more silent system at night.

You have quite thick rads, perhaps you need to consider push+pull to have decent performance at lower rpms. Vardars would be my choice out of the above, 1450 or 2200

EK/Corsair, I think your choice is more about "I want/don't care about a led or do" since for performance they are pretty much the same.

yea assumed they would be my best choice at a first time round >.>.

 

so push pull vardar? theres areas where i can pull air in should i use more vardar or just on my rads?

basically yea. although id i wanted LED etc i think id end up with sily thermal take fans but they dont seem to do much performance in my setup.

Depends on your case, how restrictive is the intake environment? You could consider getting aiflow optimized fans if you have the option to do so. Static pressure fans would perform okay too though, and probably more consistent.

since its a inwin 509. i have a space under my pump res next to my PSU that can take a 120mm or 140mm. and 3x 120mm/2x140mm on the side or front intakes

I think static pressure would be better, the front will be fairly clogged with the radiator, and the bottom one looks like its up against a fairly tight mesh dust filter.

ok and the side intake ? since i can have more there,but its got to deal with the hexagon air vent design

[For Science!]

This vent here? Definitely static pressure, but I'm not 100% its so effective to put fans there anyway though.

I personally use Noctua fans in my build, but out of the options up there, I guess the Vardar 2200 and use PWM control to have it at lower speeds. Unless if white is not good for your build color matching.

[NoobCase]

The vardars are definitely the better fans in this mix for rads.
