Guys I looking for a (Intake) Fan with WHITE LED and if possible PWM function...any suggestions will be welcomed.

Thanks.

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)

Yea 120mm...but are they available here?

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

One fan to rule them all

Hey guys, im still noob at this...been wondering about fans for ages.

anyway, just bought a new case.. you may refer to the pic below for what i intend to do..



as i understand, the casing come with 2 fans..front and top..

so those 2 fans ive connected to the MOBO which only provides 2 connections for fans..the other 1 for CPU and the other 1 i wouldnt know lol.

anyway, i want to install 4 additional fans on the side panel..

so how do i connect the fans? direct to my PSU?

i did connect a 3 pin fan to a 2 pin connector using this cable...would that be alright? or is this the cable/connector that i need?



So my question is what kind of CONNECTOR would i need?? what kind/type of cable connector to support the other 4 fans?

please advice thanks

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)

FAN REVIEW PROGRAM

We are considering providing some Fans for users to review them. Understandably, reading reviews on how fans perform is like reading food review of how they taste. You just can't tell. Some candidates:

1) Arctic Cooling F12 PWM
2) Coolermaster Blade Master
3) Xigmatek XLF
4) Aerocool Shark
5) Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1850 RPM

One of each fan will be provided. Candidates who would like to participate in this will need to pay a security deposit equivalent to the cost of the fans and bear the shipping cost to the next candidate. Would anybody be interested?

Hi guys..currently im using cm tx3 n 2 90cm fan on my side panel..i bought that fan for rm20..i noticed that when i take off that rm20 cm fan,my casing sounds slower..n im planning to buy 2new 9cm silent fan..could u guys suggest me good n cheap fan?im using cm usp100 casing btw..

Obvious winner is obvious

at least, they can get data of comparison...
to what extent that winner outperform the others..

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

I already have 3 of the 5 fans you listed down. But i can assure you most of us know who the winner is.

Typo therr..act,what i meant was im using 2 90mm cooler master fans that i bought rm20 each..hehe..yah..quiter without that 2 fans..

Buy a slower fans?that means slower air flow?it doesnt affects the temp much rite?anyway..thanks for ur suggestion bro..

Item 3) Maybe it's better to put XAF instead of XLF

And where is the Noctua fan?

after review, the fan is considered as gift?

Sounds interedesting

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

hehe finally can do something for this thread
