Anyone with any thoughts on Corsair's fan range? just saw that lingloong is now carrying 2 of 'em. crazy pricey, but consistently good reviews!
Anyone planning on grabbing some?  |

You can control the fan speed if your mobo have the ability to control fan through software. Not but the construction using fluid bearing are more lasting than sleeve bearing. actually i'm trying to get the quietest fan. doesn't really matter what size |

Hey guys,
Anyone know of a relatively quiet fan at 80/92mm? All the casing fans I see on sale now are 120mm and above. I made the mistake of not checking my casing properly upon buying it. Thought the rear fan would be 120mm, but it turns out that it's 92mm :/ now I'm without a rear fan and it's getting quite hot under the hood. Thanks! |

I recently bought a cooler master blademaster xtraflo 120mm. It has 4 pin and i connected it to the 3 pin at the mobo. It seems to be spinning so slow. The min RPM is 900 & max is 2200. I cannot control the speed at all using any software because it didnt detect the fan. It only detects my front chasis fan and cpu fan. Can someone teach me how to increase the fan speed?

QUOTE(Clem1982 @ Feb 28 2013, 10:18 AM) looks like a faulty header bro, it should come with a molex to 3-pin converter right?? run it on that for max speed Where to get that molex to 3-pin converter? Someone told me that if i connect the 4 pin to 3 pin i camt control the speed and it will only run at max. But it looks like it only run at minumum speed.***WARNING*** Running a 2200rpm fan in full speed will generate a hell lot of noise |

But it looks like it only run at minumum speed. Molex to 3-pin usually came with fan package. Any 3-pin fan header at mobo can't be control by any software. You have to use dedicated fan controller for it. |

The F12 PWM then.. if you plugged it into a 4-pin header then the mobo regulate the speed via PWM, the fan can go till 1400rpm but 800rpm is still okay providing the temps are not that hotyou could manually control the fan's speed with the mobo software |

But the fans are spinning with low RPM, like maybe 800 u mentioned.you could manually control the fan's speed with the mobo software |

A good article about fan grouptest.
Fan group test 2012 Here's a tip when cleaning white bladed fans. first, clean the fan blades with a damp cloth then, after dry it up you might notice that it wasn't as clean as it should be. so, mix 50% water and 50% bleach and clean it up again with a damp soft cloth or sponge. rub at the place where it got that faint stain. then dry it up again with dry cloth. It should be cleaner and look better.  |

Hmm any recommendation for 14cm LED fans?
Enermax Vegas Duo and Bitfenix Spectre Pro LED nice anot? If non LED,quiet type would be AC F-12...if a bit noisier but good CFM would be either Scythe GT 1850RPM or Noctua P12 Let's say u got a NZXT Phantom 410 casing..which fan u will put inside? For me: Front and top: 140 mm Bitfenix Spectre Pro LED or Enermax Vegas Duo (Front intake and top exhaust) Rear and side: 120 mm Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1850RPM (Rear exhaust and side intake) This way can get both balance between CFM and noise as well as some bling bling from the LED What do you guys think?EDIT:Btw,can LED from fans switched off?

QUOTE(boringpig @ Apr 11 2013, 11:23 PM) Any recommended super quiet 120mm fan? Not so expensive ones.. Couldn't get a good night sleep without turning off my PC.. you can opt for the Artic F12 for about RM25 each, good air pusher with minimal noise Thanks! |

QUOTE(Duckies @ Apr 12 2013, 12:38 AM) Hmm any recommendation for 14cm LED fans? Bot too sure of 140mm fans but the Bitfenix line sure looks promising, Would probably do 140mm all the way if the 410 is in my possession but maybe an LED strip would be advisable for bling bling, you could get the NZXT Hue for exampleEnermax Vegas Duo and Bitfenix Spectre Pro LED nice anot? If non LED,quiet type would be AC F-12...if a bit noisier but good CFM would be either Scythe GT 1850RPM or Noctua P12 Let's say u got a NZXT Phantom 410 casing..which fan u will put inside? For me: Front and top: 140 mm Bitfenix Spectre Pro LED or Enermax Vegas Duo (Front intake and top exhaust) Rear and side: 120 mm Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1850RPM (Rear exhaust and side intake) This way can get both balance between CFM and noise as well as some bling bling from the LED What do you guys think?EDIT:Btw,can LED from fans switched off? not all fans can have their LED turned off, The Bitfenix ones can be done but you'll need to pair it with a Hydra Pro or a compatible switch to do that |

That's what i was trying to say in case he assume he needs the fan controller to control the LED's  |

Only gets noisy when used after a while? I guess you could replace it, it's not too expensive to do so and not too hard to replace it yourself either Thanks |

Hey guys, i've got a scout 2 which has a stock red led fan and was thinking of adding to this bitfenix spectre red led. The stock fan can be turned off via switch on front panel, is there any way to link that switch to the spectres as well? Dont want them on all the time
plus whats the sound like with the bitfenix spectre? Originally wanted f12 pwm from arctic cooling but black nd white theme so hard to do, going for black nd red |

Guys, ive just got the prodigy japan edition, it came with 1 x 230mm red led fan , and a 120mm red led one. Problem is, i dont think these are the spectre series as they look cheap and have no jumpers for the LED, but instead a seperate lead for the LED ,
My question is whether i can conmect the LED leads together with a wire or something small , or does the LED need a seperate power source? Im totally lost as this isnt like the spectre specifications i thought » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by jedi_dc: May 16 2013, 06:09 PM |

Sure it's okay, the fan will run nonetheless but at full speed and nothing in between. The idea of a fan controller is so that you could slow the fans down to get a good balance of noise and cooling but Gentle typhoons are relatively quiet for their speed, else opt for a slower fan what are you using them for anyway? |

QUOTE(ijatneda @ Jul 5 2013, 09:00 AM) What if I stack two fan,is it the CFM will be double? Doesn't work that way and with not much gain at all so no, it doesn't double the CFM. Worse still you could create turbulence which recycles the hot air instead of dissipating it with a stacked fan setup and probably will get worse cooling than a single fan, hence why HSF manufacturers stopped doing that a long time ago. The only way to disrupt this is to stack fans that rotates the opposite directions..and thats another hickup.. not many fans will spin counter-clock wise AND remember, with little gain. |

Anyone with Corsair SP or AF series fans here? Those are real sexy but really cost a bomb!
 Thinking to get some good 140mm fans. Wanna create a slightly positive airflow for my case. Currently, dusts are coming in from my unused 5.25″ drive bays. |

Guys, can give me some recommendation for 120 mm case fans? Need intake fans really badly. Because my case original fans had the 3 pin connector with the 'lock' thingy on the side and can't fit to my motherboard 4 pin connector.

This makes the connector wider and makes it unable to fit to the header. It's hard to explain. Hmm..

Spectre fans from bitfenix is fine, but can't compare with GT & Noctua. Looking forward to give helix a try if someone can sponsor |

U may try email CM to see what their answer would be. If I were you, I would dump the fan, cut the connector and do something like this. switch Your case is likely designed for positive pressure which in laymans term is having more fans as intakes than exhaust. So I would position the fans like this; 2 front fans as intakes 2 side fans as intakes 1 bottom fan as intakes 1 back fan as exhaust 2 top fans as exhaust |

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. |

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.

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 |

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 |

IINM 135mm fan is referring to the diameter of the fan but the fan size with the frame is 140mm, so any 140mm fan may fit, best way to find out is to take apart the fan from the PSU and bring to the shops to compare the size... should be quite inexpensive |

Ok guys..need some pointers... Now I have many fans installed and I get decent 2-5 C drop in temp.... my configurations are as below:-
1) CPU fan push pull setup 2 Arctic cooling F12 fan chain connect to CPU_Fan header 2) Case fan back side CM fan come with my Hyper 212 cooler connect to CPU_Opt Fan Header. 3) Case fan front come with the CM USP 100 case connect to Case_fan header. 4) Case fan side 2 Arctic Cooling F12 fan and Bottom 1 CM standard fan all chain connected to case_fan 2 header. My question is... So with all these 7 fans connect to motherboard will it stress the motherboard too much and shorten its life and is it necessary to invest on a fan controller? Thanks |

I'm currently using a Cooler Master Silencio 450 with stock 120mm x 800rpm front and rear fans.
I recently upgraded my GPU and I'm wondering if switching to the Arctic F12 PWM fans would be an upgrade, or whether there's no difference? |

I worry that it will run hotter when I upgrade to a 120Hz monitor. So I'm proactively looking for ways to cool it. The rear exhaust fan pushes out a trickle of air, and yes it does feel toasty |

You can, why not? but do take note that having just holes will block some airflow to the fan, unless there is little gap between your drilled holes.I'd suggest that you just cut a hole and get a fan grill, you can get the basic ones like these for about RM8 in LYP  or you could make one like this out of arcylic... or aluminium if you have milling machine  |

Hi Expert Bros!
I've just bought a CM HAF XB casing (completely fell in love with it) and installed Maximus 6 Hero, 4670k i5, Asus R9 280x DCU II GPU... It's my first time DIY and self taught from YouTube videos and reading magazines. What I need to understand is have anyone here moderately mod this casing and successfully made an absolute cooling setup. Currently I'm using Seidon 240 with 2xPush Gentle Typhoon 120mm with rear casing stock Seidon fans (since its there so just bolt on and use) ...2x Noctua RF 8 80mm silent casing fans for under carriage exhaust. Core temp at 34 c but 26c with air con condition Mobo temp at 30c but 22c with air con Are these good temps? I only could fit one side of the seidon as push pull configuration as the other side...well the Asus R9 280x is too long to fit another pull. So i was fulling around with it by installing a Noctua NF-F14 140mm to see if I could boost the CFM that is written on the box is 115.2 What I'm trying to figure out is ...am I doing the right thing? Oh...The top cover is the window type not the mesh with 200mm fan type. Pls help!  |

QUOTE(AlanSiew @ Dec 29 2013, 12:08 PM) Halo Sifu! Does any fan like SilverStone AP123 can recommend? Saw it in Viewnet sometime back, but they haven't brought back the AP series since it ran out of stock... maybe getting from ebay? Don't want wait MY SilverStone distributor bring in anymore, other country already released long time ago, but malaysia still no any news at all! QUOTE(imagepower @ Dec 31 2013, 02:00 AM) Hi Expert Bros! Temps seems normal to me, no cause to worry, so long as you have air movement flowing in from one direction and complement the exhaust in the same direction your fan setup is just fine regardless of how many exhaust you have as that's the most optimal... unless you mod the chassis I've just bought a CM HAF XB casing (completely fell in love with it) and installed Maximus 6 Hero, 4670k i5, Asus R9 280x DCU II GPU... It's my first time DIY and self taught from YouTube videos and reading magazines. What I need to understand is have anyone here moderately mod this casing and successfully made an absolute cooling setup. Currently I'm using Seidon 240 with 2xPush Gentle Typhoon 120mm with rear casing stock Seidon fans (since its there so just bolt on and use) ...2x Noctua RF 8 80mm silent casing fans for under carriage exhaust. Core temp at 34 c but 26c with air con condition Mobo temp at 30c but 22c with air con Are these good temps? I only could fit one side of the seidon as push pull configuration as the other side...well the Asus R9 280x is too long to fit another pull. So i was fulling around with it by installing a Noctua NF-F14 140mm to see if I could boost the CFM that is written on the box is 115.2 What I'm trying to figure out is ...am I doing the right thing? Oh...The top cover is the window type not the mesh with 200mm fan type. Pls help! adding a high CFM fan will help in a way but don't expect much drop from the temps |

I recently bought a Enermax T.B. Vegas Duo 120mm, LED color is Blue and Red, comes together with Fan Speed Control, and LED Mode Control.
Feel like dancing in the club when the LED is on! wow! |

Guys, anyone here knows what's the best performance/noise ratio fans to use? I'm looking at these
1. NoiseBlocker Blacknoise Silent Pro 140mm 2. Scythe Gentle Typhoons 1850rpm 120mm 3. SILVERSTONE FM121 120mm Case Cooling Fan 4. NZXT Air Flow Series RF-FZ140-R1 140mm Red LED Case Fan Thanks. Let me know if you have any other models in mind. No corsairs though, those are way too pricey. |

Hi all master, I am looking for 2pcs 120mm intake fans for my Scout 2 casing. any suggestion? budget around <RM30 for per pcs.
I have tried the CM sickle flow X 120mm LED fan and it's too loud at 2000rpm and it's not suitable for me. I would prefer low noice with cool led fan like Sickle flow X. currently looking at Enermax T.B Silence LED series 120mm 1200rpm. Any other choices besides this? Thanks. |

QUOTE(ronron @ Feb 11 2014, 11:01 AM) thanks for suggestion. it's true that the Spectres are rated at 1K RPM, if you want faster fans then it is not really for you, even the Spectre pro are rated at only 1200rpm.. bitfenix had them such a way so that the fans will be quiet.. hence the name "spectre" the speed of Bitfenix Spectres LED is 1000±10% rpm, will it spinning slow? because my stock fan also spinning around 1k rpm which seems slow for me. sorry still learning about it having said that though, if the components are not overheating, any fans shouldn't be much difference so long as you dissipate the hot air out of the chassis you won't see too much drop in temps by changing chassis fans |

QUOTE(Clem1982 @ Feb 11 2014, 11:53 AM) it's true that the Spectres are rated at 1K RPM, if you want faster fans then it is not really for you, even the Spectre pro are rated at only 1200rpm.. bitfenix had them such a way so that the fans will be quiet.. hence the name "spectre" I see, thanks for the explanation. learned alot.having said that though, if the components are not overheating, any fans shouldn't be much difference so long as you dissipate the hot air out of the chassis you won't see too much drop in temps by changing chassis fansI think I will go for the Spectre LED, Spectre pro is over budget. btw shifu, can give some opinion on my CM storm scout 2 casing fan position? it can mount 2 pcs intake front, 2pcs side panel, 2 pcs top, and 1 pcs back (exhaust). is side panel intake needed too? thanks again This post has been edited by ronron: Feb 11 2014, 01:33 PM |

Mind you that most doesn't come filtered so it'll attract more dust |

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 This post has been edited by asunakirito: Feb 11 2014, 11:31 PM |

QUOTE(hustlerism @ Jan 29 2013, 10:50 PM) SO, basically the intake & exhaust fan are the same fan? Same fan.You see, when the fan blows one side, the other side is sucking air in. Depending on how you install your fans, if it's set to blow into the case then it's intake fans. If you turn in the other way to blow out of the case then it's exhaust. |

QUOTE(Clem1982 @ Feb 11 2014, 08:23 AM) as Kherel77 said, The BitFenix Spectres are almost identical to the CM sickleflows, but just beware that the blades on both the Sickleflow and the Spectres are hard to clean compared to wide-bladed Spectre-Pros I have bought the Bitfenix Spectre LED 120mm and installed as my front intake fans. so cool man, the LED looks good and brighter. most importantly, it's truely a Silence fan. Now I can a sleep well at night with PC on.

Anyone knows where i can purchase Noiseblocker?
APES had a thread on that but does not seem to be selling 140mm BlackSilentPro PK-3. That package has the "Vibration-free installation without tools" looks better and hassle free compared to most fans out there that uses screws or rubber grommets (which i hate the most).

I'm not sure why many recommends Bitfenix fans but based on my experience, its difficult to clean. I owned several fans such as Enermax, Noctua, Fractal and Coolermaster, and found it easier to clean with Enermax detachable fans. |

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 |

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

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. This post has been edited by amirinz: Feb 24 2014, 10:09 PM |

Small Comparison review:
Bitfenix Spectre LED 120mm vs Enermax T.B. SIlence LED series 120mm Bitfenix Spectre LED 120mm is really a good silence fan. I have test and compare it with Enermax T.B. Silence LED series 120mm, bitfenix spectre LED 120mm wins Enermax T.B. SIlence LED series 120mm is not "silence" at all compare to Bitfenix Spectre LED 120mm. Maybe the reason is because 1.Bitfenix Spectre LED 120mm is running at rpm1000±10%, Enermax T.B. SIlence LED series 120mm running at rpm1200 (±10%). (>200rpm different.) 2. Fluid Dynamic Bearings (FDB) vs Twister Bearing No Idea what is Twister Bearing. Please correct me if I am wrong. |

Tried NOiseBlocker, much louder than Noctua, not recommended. If you have fan controller, can use NoiseBlocker to lower rpm around 1000+/-. But the performance delivered in terms of airflow and static pressure is still lower than Noctua. Also to take into account, most fans out there takes more watt/power compared to Noctua (e.g. NF-A14 FLX uses 0.06amps at 12v = 0.72watt. Bitfenix takes almost triple of this, NoiseBlocker at full rpm is 4.5watt (similarly to a HDD power consumption.)
The only limitation I can see with Noctua is oil leakage, since they use oil to reduce friction between the fan blade pillar and the housing of the bearing, there is a risk of leaking oil. I had 1 NF-P14 in my Noctua NH-D14 leak oil, but the 12cm NF-P12 did not have this issue. I had Enermax fans which I used for like 4 years, and does not have this issue. If only Enermax had reduce their power usage similarly to Noctua, I would buy them instead since its much more friendly to clean with their patented pop-out fan blade.

I currently have 2 M12P multiframe running, you could say they are louder at full blast because the model im using are 2000RPM fans As for leaking oil, my Noctua NF-F12 PWM also leaking oil after several months of usage. Another downside of Noctua fan is, it require high startup voltage especially the 140mm 3 pins model, i had 2 of them, their fans wont even budge until i my CPU started to warm up |

Hi Guys
,Anyone have any idea to reduce the fan noise in the casing? FYI, i have 5 casing fans (all from Cooler Master) and my Processor is still using stock cooling fan (AMD FX8350). I have intention to upgrade to liquid cooling for processor but thing is i just bought the processor last year and scared that will void the warranty if change to aftermarket cpu fan. Any recommendation on this, folks? Suggestions will be highly appreciated~! Thanks p/s: mobo - msi 990fxa, gpu-radeon hd7850, casing-CM USP200 |

In the midst of modding stuff, made this tonight
Will be using this ProlimaTech slim 140mm fan to blow GPU backplate. Custom made acrylic bracket to secure on expansion slot back cover, custom made acrylic "fins" to be edge lit with LED strip just for decoration purpose.

I'm looking at the Enermax Magma Advanced for the front intake fans. Anyone has a personal experience with it?
Another question is that the number of colours is not stated but what I can see is that there are 2: orange and red. Am I right? I'm going for a red themed rig so I hope the colour scheme is the standard red lol This post has been edited by -kytz-: Aug 20 2014, 12:41 PM |

I'd recommend you getting 120mm fans from BitFenix or NZXT for chassis fans since they have the white/black design to them as chassis fans for CPU cooler or RADs I'd recommend something like the Noctua NF-F12 PWM which are pretty sweet for the performance despite the hefty pricetag.. and if you don't like the colour, you can opt for the Redux line (which cost less) or the IndustrialPPC models (Warning: premium product) as well |
