PC Peripherals Which 120mm case fan should i get?

[yashchitale]

As the tittle suggests.. which 120mm case fan with good noise-performance ratio should i get for my Cooler Master USP-100 Case ?

budget would be around 500 each fan..

options considered until now are:

Cooler Master Blade Master

Scythe Slipstream

xigmatek 120 mm fans are good,decent sound and volume of air moved.350rs a piece,and have leds' to light up the fan(if you like it that is).

The Cooler Master Blade Master is a good choice.

I have 2 of those in my cabby and they have great noise-performance ratio (if there even exists such a ratio!!)...

 

[RD274]

yeah BladeMasters are the most VFM for 500 atm.

 

[yashchitale]

Bought 2 blade masters from ebay at 500 a piece.. Thanks for the help..

cooler master 120mm without led will go for around 250/-

 

[RD274]

Those must be the basic CM ones which throw out a paltry 40CFM (Blademaster is 90CFM afaik) and still make noise.

 

[cnctinc]

blade master is about 30 to 80 CFM variable... n the basic one about same as u mentioned

Blade Master 120 - Cooler Master - Leading Provider of Computer Case | Cooler | Power Supply

blademaster has 78 cfm and 32 dba

while SS 120 1900 has 110 cfm and 36dba, or the silverstone FM121 has 110 cfm with 36 dba. Both these are sub 500/- and has lot better performance-noise ratio than blademaster.

Acc to the primeabgb website...
Coolermaster 90 CFM Blue LED Silent Fan 120mm @ Rs. 485

(R4-L2R-20CK-GP)

2. 19 dBA silent application for CPU cooling

3. Recommended for Hyper 212, Hyper Z600, Geminii S, COSMOS and COSMOS S

4. RoHS compliance for protecting the environment



how is it ? I am also looking to buy 3 fans. LED need not be necessary. Any other options ?

Delta is better VFM over this, no doubt about that. I have these they are ok air wise and looks good. But as LED is not mandatory get delta if you plan to use it as exhaust or you can use this as an intake fan.

I need 2 LED fans, thinking of buying this CM fans - R4-L2S-122B-GP. Will it be better?

[suhas_sm]

How much CFM is actually required say if use 2 fans for intake (one in front and one on side) and 3 fans for exhaust ( one at back and two side on the other side )?

[yashchitale]
