depending on ur budget bro. wat is ur budget ? silent fans u can get either Cooler Master 90CFM fan or Cooler Master Blade Master or Artic F12.

LED of CM fan faster dead right?mine got 1 dead led
how much Artic F12??

from wat i heard. cm budget fan are terrible

normal F12 is RM30, u could buy from Mr clawhammer here. yup don eva buy those budget CM fan wif led.

clawhammer nice seller

ya... but it is cheap and looks pretty lol

thanks for suggestion ..but artic f12 blade in white color,so i think it faster look dark bcoz of dust.
any suggestions to maintain it 'whiteness'??

Clean it daily?

CM budget fans such as? Blue LED silent fan 140mm, is that a good option? other than sickleflow 120mm, there is no more options for 140mm fans in CM category... =( I need a blue theme, any suggestions?

xigmatek 14mm..also budget and nice

u could dust it off weekly or u can take it out n wash it too. but make sure the fan is completely dry b4 power it up.

i nid a blue LED 12cm fan any recommendation??

Hi guys,

Am planning to get some nice casing fans with good CFM and noise ratio. Another criteria is also Blue UV to suit my casing theme.

I'm currently looking at the Gelid Gamer Wing 12cm fan which satisfies my requirements. Any feedback on this?

Another one is the Siverstone Air Penetrator 121. The design seem interesting.. but do they actually work well? the CFM isnt so good.

Im planning them for both suction and blowholes as well as maybe replace my CM V6GT heatsink fans (depends, as the stock fans are not UV and also quite loud but powerful on max speed).

Any feedback is welcome. Thanks!!

Gelid Wing UV fan 12cm arent that great imho, i had afew of them install on my casing for exhaust, when running at fullspeed, can barely feel any air passing the fence at all, plus its very expensive,
im not sure the new LED-powered 1800 rpm already improved.

now using NBM-MAT 0.22A 12cm fans, duno the RPM but the airflow is stronger than Gelid uv wing, amprere also lower too.

while Silverstone AP121 is only recommend for Intake, not for exhaust or use as heatsink fan.

Hmm..

I was planning to get the Gelid UV Wing 12 for my system but now I'm confused. I thought the specs are good but I guess real life application is what matters..

I'll be building a HAF922 and plan to replace all the fans except the front one. Basically 1 rear exhaust, 2 (or 200mm) 120 top exhaust, and 1 bottom intake. Might also mod the side window for intake/exhaust..

Any sifu can recommend which fans? I am going witha blue UV only theme so thats why I prefered the Gelid. But I can paint the fans if need be.

Thanks!

One more things for Gelid UV wing, the fan is noisy lol
And the rated CFM is actually lower than official spec given by Gelid.
If you wan UV you can go with this fan, the bearing on this fans are better than average cheapo fans.
AP121 also uv reactive but only suitable for intake.

There are more better fans out there with better CFM/noise ratio.
like Scythe S-FLEX, GT, Noiseblocker series, Enermax Magma, Noctua and Arctic.
^ expensive fan, no uv and no led bling-bling.

I am quite interested in the Enermax T.B Silence Series. Anyone selling them here?

That one is low speed fan dah, 900rpm only

owh... Is it possible to increase the RPM through a fan controller? @900rpm its pushing around 42CFM.. should be able to perform better at higher speeds right?

Also I like the removable fan blade feature - easy to clean and can paint. Any other fan you can recommend?
