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 laugh.gif

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 tongue.gif What do you guys think?

EDIT:Btw,can LED from fans switched off? hmm.gif

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?

Thought of adding few fans to my old rig in which the scythe gentle gonna be rear exhaust and few more LED fans such as Enermax. Not sure how loud when all are switched on together since they are running at full speed sweat.gif

well if you're getting exhaust fans, any fans will do actually but the GT are supposedly suited for radiator mounts, you could always use a 7V or a 5V adaptor to the fans to control the speed as well

Haha but once I use 7v and 5v adaptor the fan would not run at full speed right?

yup, but it'll quiet down the system for sure

Hmmm...that means to get the best performance when I need it and the quietest moment when I dont need full performance is to use a fan controller? sweat.gif

Or just get PWM fans XD

2 x 140MM ENERMAX TB VEGAS DUO (Intake)
2 x 120MM ENERMAX TB VEGAS DUO (Exhaust)

Should be louder than without them thats' for sure, I thought the 410 comes with a fan controller built-in? but anyhow these fans are all supposedly high quality so it shouldn't be too loud to the extent that it's gonna be annoying or intrusive

Not sure if phantom 410 comes with a built in controller. Gotta check on that laugh.gif

EDIT: It says
