too much memories yo  tongue.gif
maybe can be used for torrenting movies like _____ materials (fill in the blank yourself)  laugh.gif

im eyeing on these:
1. SCYTHE Grand Flex PWM 120mm
2. Spectre PRO All White 120
3. or i just stick with F12 PWM, just found out hikari85 selling them

any other suggestions? hmm.gif  thanks

I wonder what case are u using?
that aside I would suggest prolimatech usv14. sure its thin but still good as case fans. some more got static booster if u need that extra static pressure. double bearing fan type.

lazada got some gelid fans for sale so you might want to check it out.

other than that, pay a visit to lowyat. got many fans to choose from.

I'd simply put either a pair of these fans at the front and keep the stock fan at the rear.

Hi guys, currently I am using thermalright ty 141 for my megahalems. Due to its colour which is not black I am now thinking about replacing it with a single prolimatech usv 14 with static booster or 2 cm silencio fp120 pwm. So which one is better?

Hi Guys,

I just built a new rig in Fractal Define R5 casing. It comes fitted with two 140mm fans which has less airflow.

I have been a big fan of Arctic F12 fans previously. Now that nobody is selling in msia, do you think its worth to order it from overseas or are there equally better silent fans with better airflow? theme is black and white.

Please advise.

Maybe u can try your luck buying this. No warraty though
Gelid at Lazada

hye guyz, between bitfenix spectre and id cooling PL, which one should i get?
gonna put 2 fans for front intake and 2 for top exhaust. versa H24 case.
*
I only tried ID cooling fan with removable rings though. So far it is decent but the rings is a bit flimsy.
I suggest u get the ID cooling ones. seems the review at newegg are favorable.
ID cooling
Anyways if u still undecided u can try buy one first and test it by mounting it as top exhaust because some FDB/hydro bearing fans don't like to be installed horizontally.

QUOTE(ikan_semilang @ Jan 8 2016, 04:58 PM)
Guys, i'm using Fractal R5 case and just using stock fan which is 120mm (back) 140mm (front).

Thinking to change

- 140mm x 2 (front)
- 140mm x 1 (back)
- 140mm x 2 (top)

How about this brand?

Noiseblocker NB-BlackSilentFan XK2 140mm x 25mm Ultra Quiet Fan - 1100 RPM - 21 dBA
*
hmmm, just fill it with all aerocool DS white. looks great with black/white.
seems like a good fan but I doubt about fitting those fans as top exhaust because of it so called advanced sleeve bearing. If what they meant of advanced sleeve bearing is FDB then I see no problem fitting it horizontally.


QUOTE(bonez_xy @ Jan 8 2016, 11:09 PM)
Based on what i read in this thread, sickleflow is too noisy. Am i wrong? Thats why i trying to look another fan.
*
U could invest on a fan controller or 7V adapter to reduce the fan speed hence reduce the noise.

Arctic Cooling is dead in Malaysia.
Sigh.

that is indeed a pity. their fans are very good sad.gif

QUOTE(Skylinestar @ Mar 16 2016, 10:47 AM)
Users in newegg complain about aerocool DS fan when used horizontally... Bearing noise.
Any recommendations for fans that will work great horizontally? Need a silent model for my Fractal R5 build.
*
you can take the reviews in newegg with a grain of salt. from my experience I have only used deepcools and Coolermaster turbinemaster mach 1.8 horizontally.

IINM all deepcool fans used hydro bearing/FDB and in my experience there are no unusual noise present. decent fans.

coolermaster turbinemaster are good as well. when it is in full speed you only hear the wind gushing out of the case. no bearing noise present. need fan controller or resistor to control its speed. laugh.gif

Is GF140 FDB available locally? where can i buy deepcool fan?
*
last time I saw one selling at All IT hypermarket at lowyat. they have a bunch of deepcools there.

QUOTE(supersound @ Apr 16 2016, 01:28 PM)
A fixed speed CoolerMaster Sickleflow X will perform better, in terms on noise level, air flow and price.
*
Haven't tried sickleflow X. Should be fine since it used a better bearing compared to the previous one.

Be warned, it spins very fast and move a lot of air. and if you put as exhaust fan and there's filter , like at the top or the front, it will create a turbine sound.
*
Really? guess I'll stick with my turbinemaster then.

OTOH I'm going to see if my newly acquired corsair AF 140 & AF 120 performed as it should be.

hey guys,

I'm looking for decent case fan for my NZXT s340. I have a look around and there is so many brand and im not sure which to get.

I planning to add 2 new intake fan in the front and use back the original fan from the case on the top and back as exhaust fan.

Currently looking at corsair af140 which seem good and but a little but pricy at Rm90++ each?

Any recommendation?
*
U can try those san aces. they are PWM so can control fan speed via motherboard.

Are the fans in the master case 5 good?

Which fans should i swap it with, like 140mm with 3 pin?
I am using all 3 as the front intake and my existing jetflo 120 on the back ( for the fancy look ) hehe
*
QUOTE(StuartLee2015 @ Aug 23 2016, 07:53 PM)
I am also looking for 3 of these...

it's the Jetflo 140mm fan from the coolers..

anyone who don't use it and plan to sell it? I want .
*
There are always those corsairs af 140 LEDs one. Doubt anybody wants to sell their jetflo 140mm if any.

If u are looking for uniformity, change all to jetlfos laugh.gif

Yea... i like them too, but since the front can accommodate 140mm, normally i would use the biggest possible . And since the 140mm is the same as 120mm in terms of blade design, frame, and the bearing, they would last much better.
Currently using the stock fans 140mm ... hehe

i using jetflo 120 for the rear.

my case is Maker 5, changed from 690 III today.
*
Oh, so the mastercase got 2 140mm fans already. I think it is best to keep those 2 at front. For vertical position should last long time like the megaflow.

maybe can try WTB at garage sales? who knows u might get what u want.

I guess i will stick to the stock fans for now, i mounted 3x 140mm in the front. used the old jetflo 120 from my old case and monitor it's temp.

Looking at your specs I think it is enough to cool your rig with those fans. smile.gif

hello guys,can anyone suggest for me an intake fans?im using fractal design define mini C case right now.there are too many fans out there.are those static pressure are good for this type of case?
*
I think the current coolermaster masterfans line ups are good. The air pressure version most likely suits your requirements.

Corsair SP series of fans are also good but can be a bit noisy and can only be bought by pairs iinm.

I also recommend san aces fans. Niclasteoh have these. Have a look around in garage sales.

Hi guys. I am using case corsair spec alpha
Planning to change my two front 120mm LED stock fan to three LED fan.
I want to mount my 120 Corsair CPU all in one water cooler in front intake.
What suggested fan is best for front at the same time good for AIO CPU cooler?

I think your best bet is to get the corsair SP120 LED version.

corsair fans

or coolermaster jetflo or sickleflow can also. Still can perform while keeping your case bling. biggrin.gif

Hi, can recommend a good 140mm intake fans for my CM690III? currently I'm using the stock 200mm fan for intake and I feel it is not sufficient enough.
