i wanna attach good rear fan/s to the back of my casing.
looking at either 2 80mm ones or 1 120mm fan. my casing can support either one...

my question:
can i simply buy any fan? as i know, can blows one direction. either in, or out of the case....

so how can i know which coolermaster/ thermaltake/ delta fans blow OUT of the casing?
i wanna blow hot air OUT of casing..... or just take the fan , and flip the orientation, that'll do the trick?

there will be only 1 way which is 1 side sucking air in and 1 side blowing air out..
u can just flip the orientation of the fan if ur current fan is blowing in air to ur casing...

if u r thinking to buy fan, take into consideration the rpm of the fan and the cfm of the fan...

Just go buy a Vantec Spectrum UV Led 120MM Fan...

It's nice, it's still not too noisy, large CFM

Better to use 1 120MM fan, don't use 2 units of 80MM fans...

1 120MM fan is higher cfm, more silence also...

Rather then to get 2 units of 80MM fan that is to match the CFM of one unit of 120MM fan, then, you'll get a noisy setup...

You don't want your system to be noisy aren't ya?

What about the fan that sell in Dinster's bulk order?I think the 120mm fan also quite good also right?

And what kind of fan is that?

I malas la nak pegi check dinster punya bulk...

I think he's probably referring to the Evercool series. Yeah those are a decent choice too.
If it's a rear case fan with no obstructions like fan filters or grills, you can use any 120mm fan that spins around 800-1200rpm. Should be quiet and move enough air for most needs.

For intake fan that might have a restrictive fan filter tho, more fan blades + a thicker frame would be better. (eg. the Silverstone that is 32mm thick with 9 blades)

But his thread is closed for temporary.I also cannot get the CPU fan him now.Forget it...

right! thanks.. .
however, i chekced all these various fans last night... been up till 5 doing homework and checking fans la this is what i found

Spectrum UV LED Fans = RM 20 (bombman's bulk)

2. Thermaltake 120x120x25 mm Ultra UV Fan Series (Specs : 54.5 cfm , 12V, 0.3A max, 21dBA) - RM 25 (bombman)


and of course, coolermaster's NEON LED fan

looking at the noise and air flow, i say thermatake has the best among them.. shawty... where u find vantec spectrum 120mm? can't seem to find it on their websiette... even bombman's bulk don't have 120mm....where u bougth urs?


saw evercooll don't like the look of it. .but yeah... thanks.... silverstone hahaha.. when i rob a bank... i'll buy few, one for u too crazy exp siaaa....!

if u intend to take the thermaltake id suggest u test it out first. theyre notorious for understating their noise levels on their fans

usually a fan with that kinda CFM would be 25-31dba

i have to agree.... madman... their airflow/noise ratio... seeems out of this world!

coolermaster lor i guess... but then... i'm still looking for vantec... shawty's recommendation... i've seen one of his posts... he used vantec (should be 120mm) for his old xp120....just curious coz i can't find vantec spectrum LED which is a 120mm....

Huhh?

How come u can't find it?
Have u search at lowyat plaza?

Anyway, just got some information about the evercool fans that it's somekind faster rather than the Vantec 120MM...

Vantec maximum speed is 1600RPM

While the Evercool that dinster bulks is 2000RPM [Blue Led]

And the noise is kinda acceptable too...

But the problem with that Evercool fans are it's super transparent...

I hate that kinda fan...

I love those fans that have multi colours on it like the Vantec Spectrum UV led and the Thermaltake Smart fan...

Plain colour fans are so lame...

actually the vantecs has been "replaced" with a brand called Vizo (or sumthin like that) the specs, packaging, etc etc basically everything looks the same as the vantecs fans

didn't search lowyat bro.. but did a search on their website. i mean, if their website don't have, of course low yat also dun have right?
her'es the website..
http://www.vantecusa.com/product-pcmods.html

shawty, kalo blh tolong poin aku kat right direction, i'd be grateful. dah lama aku cari dah kat google dan lowyat. no one sells 120mm.

evercool hmmmm..... also another option to consider...

Err, kat website vantec mmg takde...

Vantec website only show the specification about the Vantec Spectrum UV 80MM Led Fan...

Here in lowyat.net takde org jual...

Tapi kalau kat Lowyat Plaza mmg ada jual...
Konpem...

high quality fan kot...sbb tu tak pamer kat website
anwyyas, thanks... appreciate it! lowyat here i come..

eh, agaknye brapo harga fan nih? rm30?

Yeah Silverstone fans are bloody pricey, but it's not so bad when you consider the free fan controller. It's terribly noisy at full speed ~2400rpm tho.

Someone here on the forum had a bulk for Evercool Ever Green fans too. They look decidedly gay, but they're only 800rpm which means very nice and quiet.

My own experience? The CM UV/LED Silent series are really quiet and good. Summore only RM20 each, cannot beat the value there. I'd love to try the Nexus and Yate Loons and Scythe S-Flex fans, but those aren't anywhere near available here.

nice reply.. appreciate ur kindness! yeah...was actually shoootng for either CM or thermaltake, beofre i posted here that is...

Let me just help clarify dat not evry model/item may necessarily be listed in the websites. Googling 'll b more helpful

And FYI, 120mm Vantec Spectrum UV LED Fans do exist, 2gether w/ 90mm one. Only dat I'm not selling due to pricing factor

see if you can buy an antec tricool or a jap made panflo at 80cfm. i have 5 tricool on high settings and my computer barely hums

I think for 120mm fans, ideal is 2000 rpm to get some good CFM. Those that run lower (my CM tri-blade) is silent of course but not effective enuf. 120mm vantec I think I saw in Sri Comp. I can't recall where I bought mine, either sri or AllIT.

Today I might go buy a Cavalier 5 cos I cannot stand the vibration and small fans on my AVF casing.
