Can't give much comment as I've never tested any of the 140mm Spectre Pro tongue.gif
The 120mm Spectre Pro is awesome though.

i do have the 140mm spectre pro. one thing i can say is that they are really beautiful and moves reasonable amount of air with little noise

Recommend me fan which is 14cm + silent vs high cfm ratio + low power usage for 24/7.
No need LED blink blink.

If possible, fan can get locally  icon_rolleyes.gif

i strongly recommend the bitfenix spectre pro 140mm tuned down to 800rpm using speedfan. before this i was running it at stock 1200rpm which moves a lot of air but also kinda noisy (whooshing sound of the air)

i see their fans  behind got many plastic lines, it would be kinda difficult to clean dust using a paint brush.
Clem1982 Currently whats the lowest price for Bitfenix Spectre Pro 140mm?

Which shop selling? Digital Mall got?
*
actually there's not much dust on those frame. normally the dust will build up on the fan blades which are wide enough to clean.

when i got it frm APES, it was rm40 a piece moneyflies.gif

I checked for the Spectre Pro Rm40 in stock, its pwm.
My fan hub no support pwm  sweat.gif 
If you know any other brand apart from spectre, do let me know.

Then swap with me? Mine is non-pwm (3pin)

Non-pwm is better than PWM. Why are you swapping them?  sweat.gif

My stupid gaygaybyte only have one voltage control, the other fan headers r PWM control only, that's why I prefer it =P

If you'd wanna deal, pm me brows.gif

Not sure for Enermax Cluster, I have 2 Cluster 120mm, tried on mine, it won't come out. Don't dare to put too much force in it otherwise spoil.
I also have Enermax Magma 120mm, that 1 easily come out compared to Cluster. Use very little effort to pop in and out.

I'm currently thinking of getting 3 140mm Enermax T.B Silence (Turbine instead of Batwing).
But could not get much info on it, whether its pwm or non-pwm. Not much review/benchmark for this fan.  hmm.gif
*
what's the difference between magma n cluster? and where do u get these clusters from?

QUOTE(1024kbps @ Feb 16 2014, 09:55 PM)
According to their site: http://www.enermax.com/home.php?fn=eng/pro...a1&lv0=4&lv1=32
They have manual mode, 3pin and pwm version.
You can get the pwm version if your mobo is Asus that support AI Suite 2, so even pwm fan can be operate on voltage mode.
*
Asus mobo can control pwm fans using voltage?!

Starting from M5A99X i think, or any asus mobo that supported by AI Suite II, PWM fans can operate between voltage mode and PWM mode, that's one of PWM fan advantages, but when PWM fans operate at voltage mode, it will have cold start problem just like any other 3 pins fans.

Btw it's not something new, as pwm fan header have a fool-proof notch to let you insert it into 3 pins fan header  tongue.gif
*
So i guess you r saying that 3pin non-pwm fan can also work on 4pin pwm header.. But in voltage mode the fan can work but the fan speed can't be controlled right?

Yeap, it works but it will spin at 100% duty on most regular mobo,
but latest Asus ROG mobo can auto detect whether if the fan is pwm or 3 pins, because it has a switch on the pwm fan header.
while Gigabyte mobo can change between PWM and voltage mode on BIOS, but i tried on their 890FX UD7 only, other mobo not too sure  sweat.gif
*
Wow, that means latest mobo fan header can control both voltage n pwm?! rclxms.gif

Thanks for ur info. I'll need to research more on this

please recommend me 120mm fans using fluid bearing with good static pressure for use on heatsink, also need to be compatible with heatsink fan clips and below rm50. sweat.gif

reason: the xigmatek xaf's (sleeve bearing) are starting to produce weird sound after just a few months use doh.gif

I can only think of Artic F12 and BitFenix Spectre Pro that's below RM50, others like the BeQuiet silent wings and Scythe Kama flow 2 is harder to find and not too sure of the SRP
*
Bitfenix Spectre Pro cant use fan clips right? im using thermalright venomous x
how about Xigmatek XLF, Enermax TB Silence, Enermax Cluster?

QUOTE(AlanSiew @ Feb 24 2014, 03:02 PM)
Don't Sleeve bearing fan! Lousy fan lah! doh.gif

Guys, I've been looking for a 200mm case fan that has no LED, and preferably black.
Among these two, the Bitfenix Spectre Pro and the CM Megaflow, which do you guys prefer?

P.S, I'm using the Bitfenix Prodigy non-M case. Maybe gonna change to the Corsair 250D soon.
*
i doubt u can find Bitfenix Spectre Pro 200mm in Malaysia. as far as i know they are non-existent, or am I wrong? clem1982

Any idea where can I get a good 200mm fan? LED/non LED. Something with decent airflow and static pressure
*
the only ones I know of are CM Megaflow, CM Storm Force, Bitfenix Spectre Pro, and NZXT FS200RB/ PH200LED.

QUOTE(xpertwiz @ Feb 27 2014, 07:00 PM)
Okay,
Thanks for the reply.
*
other than that u can consider getting a 1x4pin to 4x3pin fan splitter which u can control the fan speed using Speedfan or your motherboard software
something like this:

will it be as good as a fan controller ? because i dont really wanna use my 5.25 bays lol

Fan controller u can control the fan speed manually. If u use splitter n connect to mobo, u can use Speedfan to automate the fan speed and thats what I'm doing =p

btw, may I ask? What kind of situation only need 2k rpm fan to blow? hmm.gif
*
u can get a 2k rpm fan when u wanted great airflow and dont mind the noise. cool.gif and i guess u r thinking about CM Sickleflow right? they are actually really noisy and doesnt really push that much amount of advertised air

Viewnet has many case fans on display, Noctua/CM/Aerocool/Xigmatek/NZXT/Thermaltake/... macam-macam ada. you can go and test it out yourself. if you are lazy to visit lowyat, and you trust my judgement:

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.
*
why u no trust me, no need get Artic la. there are so many other brands now, just go around Viewnet. this weekend? brows.gif brows.gif

QUOTE(bonez_xy @ Jan 7 2016, 06:08 PM)
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.
*
never used ID cooling before but I tested both bitfenix spectre and spectre pro and they seem to be quite weak when pushing against resistance

hmm looks like spectre is not a good choice for front panel where there is storage bay there.
how about aerocool shark fan?  hmm.gif  hmm.gif

i have tested aerocool shark fan without restriction, the wind is quite strong. no idea about the airflow with restriction though. if 120mm, I strongly recommend the CM Jetflo!! the fan is the strongest I have tested
