Hey guys looking for some fans to replace my current generic ones that are absolutey awful. You can't even feel the side intake ones! Preferably ones that I can get before Christmas

I'm not sure how many "good" $5 fans there are... Will look around though

 

£ is not the same as $

Can go to £30 if it's a worthy price upgrade

Didnt even know it said that until I went to put my glasses on. My bad. I thought it was a $ right from the beginning.

I do not really think the fans you can buy in that range are worth the trouble. They might be slightly better but it is like spending money on a 10% improvement over the free option.

I had some of those before I upgraded to SP120s. The F12s were noisy but then again they were only £3.50

Noticeable with headphones on? My pc is under my bed (don't worry it's plenty ventilated)

I never use headphones so I wouldn't know. To be honest I wouldn't cheap out now because you will end up spending more in the long run like I did.

Cougar 4-pack fans are pretty decent, though I don't know how much they cost in British pounds.

You don't need to feel the air moving to have adequate cooling.

Are your current fans too loud or your temps too high atm? If not, I'd just stick with what you have.

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/
