Yes, i have 1 rear, 1 bottom, 1 front, 2 side panel.. (total-5 fans 120mm)

but i notice 2 side panel fans humming very loud, although i bought CM Xtraflo 120mm 2 pcs and says that noise only 19db..

If we lower the rpm, will it affect the humidity inside the cpu? maybe temp will go up, no?

Noise measurement in fan specs is noise that cause by air pushed by fan in bracketless condition. Your side panel's fan humming is cause by that honeycomb ventilation hole plus vibration of that side panel.

Try ditch that side panel fan first, lower others fan speed using that software & monitor your temp. I think not very much diff increasing, if any.
If still not satisfy, change to silent fan like Bitfenix Spectre/AC F12 PWM/Noctua. Plus fan rubber gasket if ur budget allowed.

Hi guys, dono how to choose between these 2 corsair fan model :

SP120 (quiet)
AF120 (quiet)

Will be using as exhaust fan.

Please help thanks.

I'll go for AF120 (Airflow).
SP120 (Static Pressure) more suitable for heatsink / radiator. But it still your choice...no problem to use the other way around for casing fan.

Thickness is 25mm. He's got 38mm too brows.gif . I think it's obviously more louder than Noctua plus it use ball bearing. sweat.gif

Which one more suitable for DIY home/media server that run 24/7?
Mainly to cool 4 HDD. Using casing Elite 343.

user posted image

My goal is lower the HDD temp & quieter server.
Currently using AC F12 PWM+SST-FF123 filter run full speed 1350rpm, average temp between 35-39C & not so silent (humming sound-maybe cause by intake fan grill).

The candidate:

Silverstone SST-AP123

Or

Noctua NF-P12

Both advertised as superior with tight intake fan grill, but need opinion from real life experience....
Thanks guys... notworthy.gif

I would recommend you to go for Noctua fans although they are a bit pricey.
But they have 6 years warranty for their product.
There is once where once where my Noctua P14 had an oil leak (still under warranty).
I send them a notice and they shipped me a free unit (took about 2 weeks to arrive).

Regarding the PC case, I would recommend you to get Fractal Design Define (Not the Arc version) computer case. I own one and I can tell you its super quiet. I can't even tell if its running unless I feel the air exhausting out of the case or seeing the Power LED light. There are in the range of RM300-400 but its worth every penny. It can hold lots of SSD/HDD too (more than 4). If you are going for this case, you will not need to buy 3rd party custom fans as the stock ones from Fractal Design is super quiet too!

Thanks for ur suggestion bro...i'll highly consider the Noctua fan. How you claim the replacement? Send to seller or direct to Inter-Asia?

For the casing, maybe i'll stick to that casing as only need 4 HDD slot now & limited budget. Moreover, it sit under TV cabinet so no one will notice the aesthetically factor... tongue.gif

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.
