QUOTE(garyrhuman @ Dec 17 2011, 01:30 PM) hi im new in this topic,currently using corsair 650d casing and wish to buy 2 fan for exhaust from top casing,should i buy noctua fan? Looks like the case can put Dual 140mm/120mm fans... So pick yer choice of which fan you choose. 140mm would be better with higher air flow and less noise. Noctua NF-P14 , but their a bit pricey.

If you don't mind,Xigmatek XLF F140 fans does its job well too on radiators. Its cheaper and offers 63 CFM of airflow under 16 dBa.

Which fan can suit my Thermaltake v3 black edition?
- Front (intake): 120 x 120 x 25 mm (optional) - Rear (exhaust): 120 x 120 x 25 mm TurboFan (1300 rpm, 17 dBA, 50.0 CFM) - Top (exhaust): 120 x 120 x 25 mm (optional) - Bottom (intake): 120 x 120 x 25 mm (optional)
so which fan is the best for my casing?

You want performance fan (but also quite noisy sometimes) , or the quite type ?

Since it's like not suitable for you,why not go for the normal (3-pin) one?? Then purchase the 3 pin to molex wire separately.

Ulysses - don't bother, the F12 PWM has PST header.. u can still plug in another fan on the wired extension off from the F12 PWM   u can daisy chain all ur F12 PWM fans this way  Added on December 21, 2011, 12:46 pmGuys, I'm thinking of replacing my dual XLF1454 (140mm blue-fin-White LED) with another quieter option (full speed from molex) if possible with LED lightings... any recommendations??

Not much to find if your searching for white coloured LED , Bit Fenix Spectre BFF-BLF-14025W-RP , 60CFM under 18DBa (dunno if true) If you want silent operation , Noctua NF-F14-FLX is perfect , but a bit pricey though...

Highest CFM? no noise limit? buy this, http://www.itocp.com/htmls/19/n-3219-4.htmlNidec Beta V, you will become deaf for a while after you power up your pc with that fan installed, and after that noise shouldnt be a problem  If your casing can install 2 140mm fan on top as exhaust then you probably dont need high CFM fan. A couple 1600 or 2000 RPM 120x25mm fan is enough, 60CFM to 90CFM, any higher you will need 140mm fan else the noise would be a problem since smaller fan always produce more fan noise than large fan.

Buy a better casing, CM690 aint bad too, if you want to keep your pc cool and quite. buy 2 cheap 140cm fan as top exhaust guarantee will improve the casing ventilation. bottom and side panel as intake.

Gentle Typhoon, Noctua, F12, Blade master, these are the best fans for the money. Sorted by both performance and price
