I have a Hyper 212 plus cooler with the stock blademaster fan. I tried to search everywhere for another blademaster fan but could not find it anywhere. Atlast I've decided to get either the Cooler Master Excalibur or the Xtraflo fan for pairing it with the current Blademaster.

Which fan do you think will work best with my existing Blademaster fan. I have also bought a 4 pin PWM Y cable from ebay.

The Cooler Master BladeMaster series fan has been replaced by the XtraFlow series fans.

I would recommend that you get a Cooler Master SickleFlow fan ~450/-.

For a review of a multitude of 120mm fans, please read this article.

Hope this helps, Cheers!!

But dont you think that the Excalibur is a better fan than the sickleflow. I mean sickleflow is not even a PWM fan.

The price difference is immense between the two, the Excalibur if for ~900/- if you can find it and source it.

The SickleFlow is for half the price, if you want a high performance fan you can look at including this one in your options.

Hope this helps, Cheers!!
 
Have you considered using Xigmatek? Or Bitfenix? Even corsair has got some new fans on the market.

I don't trust cooler master these days, as the products I have used by them seem to be pretty inefficient.

Can you provide links for Xigmatek and BitFenix fans?

Cooler Master fans are decent and are available almost anywhere. I do understand that the SickleFlow is 'noisy', 'tis a very speculative term. Your noisy maybe bearable for me and my noisy may OR may not make the cut for you.

This is well documented caveat for the latter and is curable by under-volting it, I do it my using the bundled L.N.A. adaptors of my Noctua fans, at 9v the Cooler Master SickleFlow is quieter if not as quite as the Noctua NH-12PF fans.
