??? I thought the CM v6GT has support for dual 120mm fans??

Dual fans but still 120mm right?? yes I agree with Oyaji there on the AC F12 fans, affordable, nice looking, quiet and good static pressure

I guess that ur one of the lucky ones... very few really.. my first LED gave up within the month itself.. now no LED is on but the fan still spinning lol not in my rig but my sister's now

both are quite similar IMHO but the Aerocool comes with speed adaptors and they look better in the dark... Viewnet has them

not sure if they r more worth than others actually... other 140mm in the market is quite limited actually... brands like CM, Bitfenix, Xigmatex are the common ones u can find 140mm u will have to look further for other brands

New fans launched looks great... kinda loud for 1300rpm though not that one could hear it without trying though

IINM any fans may be used.. the 3rd pin is for speed detection

I hope ur looking at 120mm fans

Enermax has two models.. its called Cluster & Twister
there is also the gelid vision but they have blue fins (UV reactive)
Lastly is good ol Xigmatex, transparent fins (model XAF1255)

Well not too sure abt the gelid & enermax but the xigmatex is easier to find..comes in blue/red/black transparent blade but the LED is certainly white.. comes in 140mm flavors too not all shops have them but u can pm moderno or yoongken

if you only have the molex to 3pin, you may daisy chain all 4 fans and connect them to a single molex from your PSU... do note that all the fans are gonna run at full speed this way

fan controllers are another way where some models will enable you to power 4 - 6 fans at once off from a single molex and gives you the ability to control the speed of your fans... but these will set you back anywhere from RM60 to RM300 depending on the brand and model

if you could find the molex to multiple 3pin connector like this, u will have less of a headache arranging your wires

you could order them or DIY depending on how the 3pins connect to the molex, the wires will run at different voltages (5v to 12v) which will let the fans run slower (5v & 7v) or at max speed (12v)

Hard to say actually unless one has tested all of them in our environment cause most, if not all, fan reviews are not done on our shores actually so our local condition might crown the most unlikely as king

Cyntrixtech, can PM me the full details? kinda interested here but I already have AC F12 PWM & the Aerocool

if u mean 90CFM fans (the Cooler Master R4) then they are the worst possible 120mm fans to mount on the side panel as they are spinning at 2k RPM and will definitely generate a hell-lot-of-noise

On a USP100 you have the option to mount 80mm/90mm/120mm fans... I'd recommend mounting 120mm fans and something Quiet like the Artic F12 or some slower fans as to reduce the vibration on the side panel of your USP100

Well... slower fans doesn't really mean less airflow in your case.... here is why:

an 80mm fan spins at 1800RPM push about 21CFM of air
a 90mm fan at 1800RPM will push about 35CFM of air
and a 120mm fan at 1800RPM will generate close to 60CFM of air

*these are estimates only, don't ask me which fan are these

bigger fans needs smaller efforts to push larger quantities of air so spinning slower doesn't mean that they move less air, and but spinning slower, they generate less vibration which translate to quieter operation

NZXT fans goes LED

nope, not available, hasn't been available and IMHO won't be available in the local market for a long time... been searching for it for some time now

Seems to me like the Artic F12 is your choice then cause at that price you ruled out noctua, noiseblockers & darkwings already

if its for intake & exhaust, I'll just pick the one with the best airflow (CFM)/noise (Sone, DB) ratio... and of course within budget thats specified

but take all fan specs with a grain of salt as some of them does not exactly perform as stated

Now these are quite rare... u sure they are F1255? or are they F1254?? cause the 4-pin type is hard to find

That depends on what do you intend to do with the fan, I'd recommend using the F12 all the way cause its quiet and the airflow is almost identical to the Blademaster

daisy chaining means that you connect multiple wires/sockets/converters/adaptors from a single power source... which includes and not limited to PSU, battery packs and even the wall socket

if you opt for the normal F12 you will need multiple 4pin molex to 3pin adaptor unless you can find something like this singlr 4pin molex to multiple 3pin adaptor

which btw you could DIY

another method is to get the F12 that features power sharing technology (PST) which will allow you to chain multiple F12PST on one single 3pin connector on the mobo...
http://www.arctic.ac/en/p/cooling/case-fan...pwm.html?c=2183
these are the 4pin PWM types and is very useful as most of us will have about 3x fan connectors on the mobo anyway

Niclasteoh does them IINM... probably can get him to sleeve it as well
