i need some good fans for my NZXT grid+ v2

LordLeewee

Morning, im looking for some really quiet decent fans that will handle low voltage without pulsing up and down. I'm using them with 2 AIO radiators, but theyre fans so air cooling seem appropriate.

now im currently using a pwm noctua fan and a corsair AF fan. The problem with the noctua is that if it drops below 50% it starts pulsing between 0 and 100% which i believe is a common issue with using a pwm fan with voltage control.

 

so, i need 2 120mm fans that will go as low as 20% on voltage, that are quiet and can push a good amount of air through a radiator at 80-100% without sounding let jet engines then either.

 

Thanks in advance

i'm pretty sure it's very very very hard to find voltage fans that work properly as intended under 40% speed. it's just a limitation of the motor construction in relation to the weigh of the fan blades. it's definitely not something advertised and not on spec-sheets a bit like silicon lottery. you could stroke out and find something that works reliably but this specific use is why PWM is used. i know grid+ can't do that though so i understand your question, but you might just be SOL.

I had that issue with grid v2. It will not go to 20percent speed, the lowest cam will take it is 30percent fan speed. I used nzxt fans with grid and never had pulse issues. I personally swapped to pwm fans split onto headers when I upgraded to ryzen. At idle most of my fans go to 0percent. Maybe a 3pin resistor cable will get it slow enough for you.
