Is there any good recommendation for high performance silent fans? LED or non-LED are fine. I'm going to put 8 inside my casing.
Must be 120mm.

4 x radiator push pull
1 x harddisk bay
2 x top exhaust
1 x rear exhaust.

Currently thinking of AC F12 but i tried my fren one, full speed 1350rpm, i can hear the noise.

Have you tried scythe GT's and San Aces? I would try those and a fan controller for the application as above.

Currently I got 8 units of CM Sickleflow right now, seriously the noise is a bit killing. Bought 6 units of AC F12, tried them running full speed and I can hear noise as well. Need more than F12's performance.

using bitfenix spectre pro non-led, very quiet. another brand that i would give it a try is noiseblocker but their $$ is a bit higher

Artic F12 run at 1400rpm max speed so they're audible but should be a lot quieter than the CM Sickleflows at the same speed... if you want quieter but higher performance fans then you have narrowed your options to the likes of Noiseblockers, Corsair SP series and Scythe GT... you'd have to dig deep into your pockets though

Noiseblocker is a good choice but they are expensive, and the air flow is not that good if i'm not wrong.

Yup, run at max speed and they are audible. And yes, much quieter than Sickleflow for sure, but the performance are almost the same when both of them running full speed. 1400RPM vs 1950RPM.
Noiseblocker really that good ka?

Is the swiftech helix fans quiet/loud?
I'm also looking for quiet fans, been in the middle of choosing noctua vs corsair sp silent series fans.

i guess NB can be considered a good fans, a lot of good reviews from oversea..

corsair sp are really great fans but i guess their silent series wont be that silent too because of their powwah , maybe the af series is better

I think noctuas are the better ones compared to corsair. The only problem with noctua is the color of their fans.

price / performance wise, I'd go with the Noctua fans, Corsair fans cost a bomb in comparison

The Noctua NF-A14 is what i personally recommend for intake, one of the best fan that feeds your case with plently much of fresh air.

Colors by Noctua doesn't bother me by much .

I'm actually tend to try out Silverstone AP123 fans, but not exist in local stores yet since it has been released like few months already .
What I found is only AP121, price wise at around RM40+ . Like RM5 expensive than Swifttech Helix.

hi guys..which shop still got sell Artic F12..been to lowyat..most of it doesnt have Artic brand already...T_T

Well, different people different preferences I guess.


Go to garage sales, find either clawhammer or zhen wei. Both sell AC F12.
