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.

QUOTE(Clem1982 @ Aug 22 2013, 10:33 AM) huh? the pins should fit, no matter if it's a 4-pin or a 3-pin header on the mobo, even a 4-pin PWM fan may be connected to a 3-pin header on a motherboard Erm, there's something like a latch at the fan connector. This makes the connector wider and makes it unable to fit to the header. It's hard to explain. Hmm.. Anyways, thanks for the recommendations.  anyway if you're still looking for fans, consider getting these. Depending on your budget, you may wanna skip a few. -Xigmatek 120mm series -BitFenix Spectre (Pro/non-pro) 120mm -Artic F12 120mm -Silverstone 120mm -Antec truequiet 120mm -Noctua NF-F12 120mm  |

QUOTE(Clem1982 @ Aug 22 2013, 11:40 AM) if explaining is hard then try taking a picture Not really, imagine that, and we have the things on the side that we press if we want to disconnect it from the motherboard. does it look something like this??  I am a bit lazy to take a pic. Cause need to reopen the case  QUOTE(antaras @ Aug 22 2013, 02:55 PM) Ya, will be heading to KLCC tomorrow to check on any nice deals or not! Hmm, no. That latch is on the top. My latch is on the side. If I attach it, it's gonna break the 4th pin on the mobo fan header.  hmmm... 3 pin connectors with latch... found this in Google... look like this? [attachmentid=3593915] I don't dare to take that risk. So my case doesn't have any airflow right now. LOL |

QUOTE(antaras @ Aug 22 2013, 04:27 PM) seriously... it's the first time i see such a connector. Okay! But I still prefer to change the fans though.  Anyway, if you want to use back the fans, you can just snip off the side latches with a side cutter...  Any silent air flow fans that you might recommend? |

Cable management need to redo. TT QUOTE(Clem1982 @ Aug 23 2013, 10:16 AM) any fan connected to a fan controller will be good lolz Thanks for the suggestion. Aiming for the gentle typhoon. adrenc94 you could look into these for chassis fans, they gradually gets more expensive; Artic F12, BitFenix Spectre series, Silverstone Ap or Fn series, Antec true quiet, Noctua NF-F12, BeQuiet! silent wings, Scythe Gentle Typhoon, Corsair AF series Are there any BeQuiet seller in LYN? |
