Unfortunately the brand of fan that you have selected, which is Arctic Cooling, does not offer any LED fans. Neither does NZXT too for the 120MM fan segment.

For Aerocool and Xigmatek, both of them offer 120MM LED fans that are pretty good on paper. Perhaps you would like to head to any shop that have fans on display and try them out, e.g Sri Computers in Lowyat.

Dunno abt Xigmatex 120mm but the aerocool is ok, pretty quiet when fastened with the speed limiter/3pin extension max speed 1600rpm while it spins at 960rpm with the limiter connected the bling is nice looking tho, get from Viewnet at RM29 each

I'm using the Arctic Cooling F12 and the F12 PWM fans. They're good and silent. But they do not come with an LED so you might not be interested in it. smile.gif

Or if you're wondering about the Aerocool 120MM fans you can try PMing sam0919, as he has bought several of it.

I have seen several of it on display at ALL IT and Sri Computers before, if I'm not mistaken, and I'd say that the Xigmatek 120MM fans are pretty much fine.

The Xigmateks have an audible motor whine when running at full speed for both the 120mm model and the 140mm model.They have good airflow but the whine is annoying.
