Question Fan brand Reccomendations?

[jexorz]

My front two case fans are just about to give up, so im shopping for replacements.. Can anyone reccomend a good budget brand for a couple of new ones?
or atleast brands to specifically avoid.

currently looking at something like this, I really don't care about leds or colors i just want it to work

Good fans are noctua, be quiet!, corsair, fractal design... Also you can read some reviews, and benchmarks. Choose quiet fans.

Not sure what your budget is, but I would sepnd the little bit more and get https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-AF120-Quiet-High-Airflow/dp/B00F6S0XJO/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Corsair+Air+Series+AF120&qid=1578084255&sr=8-1&th=1

As far as cheap Chinese brands I've heard good things about PCCooler and upHere brands, but have no first hand experience.

Im not super bothered by fans that make noise when the computer is under load so longs as they work (my headphone block out my AC and passing trains...) ill be fine with a hum

Noise can be helped by using PWM fan curves.

There are a lot of decent fans out there, assuming these are just normal case fans, you can also look at Arctic fans...they are relatively cheap, good looking and work well. They just typically don't use RGB, which can be a good thing.

If there's nothing behind the fans but open space, be better to go with higher cfm, airflow style fans. If there's obstructions like hdd cages behind the fans, it's better to go with radiator or higher static pressure fans.

Airflow moves a Lot of air, SP Moves a lot of air, slight difference. There are also fans that are balanced, have decent SP and decent cfm, and these are good with minimal obstructions, like wiring or filters etc.

Most bigger brands, like Arctic or Corsair or CoolerMaster will have a variety of models, and will include all 3 types.

Any fan will work, it just needs to move air after all, but some fans will work much better than others, depending on the usage.

For budget fans I would go with arctic too.

Expensive: corsair, noctua, be quiet.

Budget: arctic, silentium pc, evolveo.

Avoid: AIREN they are loud and terrible
