Hello guys, today i unboxed my NH-U12S for AM4 and i was disgusted by the poop colored fan, especially in my RGBuild. Which is the best alternative of this fan (About the same performance and similiar noise levels, black color) for $22 or less?

Thanks!

beQuiet! Silent Wings 3 are pretty solid: black, perform well, look good. Got one on my cooler and it's pretty quiet too

I'll check these out but i am not sure how their mounting system does with the noctua springs, i have few be quiet fans in my case and they are indeed very good

Yeah I think they're still pretty good, just not as good as the Silent Wings ones. I haven't used them so I can't personally vouch but i'm sure they're fine

Honestly no clue and I'm too lazy to look it up, sorry
