Hey guys! I am looking for the best 120 mm Blue LED fan for my PC. By best I am referring to the amount of airflow(CFM) and the highest static pressure. I would like to use them for my CPU radiator and my case so I can move as much air through as possible. I would prefer The solid square frame style if possible because those frames seem to fit my radiator best. I tried some CoolerMaster Jetflow 120mm and I was not impressed and I do not like that frame style, a lot of air was blowing around the sides back into my case. If there are higher airflow or performance fans that anyone has in mind I am also open to not necessarily having blue LED's, I would just prefer the LED fans since they match my PC and components. I don't care about high fan noise as long as they don't rattle, also not worried necessarily about price. I just want the best! Thanks!

B-Gears High Performance PWM - Translucent Blue fans are running the best out of all that I have tried. They are a bit noisier than some of the others, but as I said I am focused on performance not noise. If noise is a problem and you can't put these fans on a controller, then I would recommend the Cougar. Plus the B-Gears fan has one of the highest static pressures you can find on a blue LED fan @ 3.7 which is almost triple the pressure of the Cougar and about 25% stronger than the JetFlo fans. Definitely the winner!
The Jet Flo is the one fan I don't like. Bought 3 of them, frame is very flimsy and wobbly, and all three made loud rattling noises. Also, they were not very compatible with my radiators, Jet Flo fans are pre threaded so that only THEIR screw works with the fans. This made it so they would not seal properly on my radiator and fan blades were grinding on the radiator.

Very sturdy well built.

Cougars , have them on my Phanteks PH-TC14PE ^

So here is what I came up with:
http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-JetFlo-120-Performance/dp/B00E20SSZ8/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1400607540&sr=8-5&keywords=jet+flo - I use these for my PWM case fans. They work great for this regard and they really push a lot of air, however they just don't hold up as well for radiators, I still blame the frame design for this. Plus the LEDs on these are nice and mellow for my case fans so they aren't blinding me at night.

http://www.amazon.com/AeroCool-Xtreme-Turbine-Case-Fan/dp/B000CSXSRC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1400607779&sr=8-2&keywords=aerocool+xtreme+turbine - I use these for my 3-pin fan connectors. The LEDs reflect a slight green color off of the fan blades so it would be good if you use all the same fan for sake of color matching(if that matters to you). The airflow on these fans is incredible, if they came in a PWM connector I would use them for my radiators as well.

I am using these for my radiators and a few other spots on my case where the Jetflo frame prevents them from being able to be installed. I noticed 3-6C drop in temp using these from the other 2 fans I mentioned. Out of all that I have tried I really like these the best.
