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!

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.

Same design with SickleFlow is Bitfenix Spectre LED but it using Fluid Dynamic Bearing that make it more silence & durable.

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 wink.gif

thanks for suggestion.

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. rclxub.gif

sorry still learning about it unsure.gif

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" wink.gif

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 wink.gif you won't see too much drop in temps by changing chassis fans
*
I see, thanks for the explanation. learned alot.
I 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 notworthy.gif

forgot to mention that you should look at CFM rating of the fans but not to trust them completely more CFM means that the push more air wink.gif

my preference of fan placement is simple, front intake with top and back exhaust, I usually will leave the side panel blank even if it has fan mounts but it does help with the GPU temperature somewhat if you use it as an intake. Mind you that most doesn't come filtered so it'll attract more dust
*
nod.gif ok great. Will do front intake and back exhaust first. thanks.

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.

Cool looking setup bro! any changes to your temps?

my HDD temperature maintain at 28'C flex.gif (CPUID HWMonitor), previously can rise until 35'C without intake fan. the airflow is good and blowing my HDD all the time.

The bitfenix Spectre LED didn't come with a 3-to-4pin molex connector. blink.gif

nice temp drop smile.gif.. hmm... didn't know that the 4-pin molex to 3-pin fan is not included.. will highlight to HQ on the matter wink.gif don't blame me if the SRP increased later on okay? tongue.gif

Luckily I have 2 pcs extra the 3to4 molex connectors. It's not easy to get at my local computer shop. Have to custom order from niclasteoh.

You could grab Enermax T.B. Vegas Trio. Has better airflow, got 3 color and multiple lightning styles. And easy to clean with detachable blades.

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.

Yes, I have also using 1 Enermax Tb vegas duo 120mm. Very nice fan. Comes with fan speed and led control.

This thing normally comes with the fan you've bought, perhaps you can give Jayacom/Viewnet a try?

Small Comparison review: laugh.gif

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 notworthy.gif
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.

Lol really?? haha I can't remember how many people I suggested it to already and I've made tons of suggestions

Glad you enjoy using it though wink.gif

I suspect the "Twister Bearing" of the enermax t.b. silence series is Sleeve Bearing type. hmm.gif

correct me if I am wrong.

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
*
Yes, the Sickle flow X, 2k rpm .. loud fan, malam cannot sleep. So I took it off and replaced with Bitfenix Spectre

I'll go for AF120 (Airflow).
SP120 (Static Pressure) more suitable for heatsink / radiator. But it still your choice...no problem to use the other way around for casing fan.

Ok thanks I will get AF then. because the color ring of the fan really look nice.
