Fan replacement for antec P180

[smartel7070]

Hi all ! I am looking to replace the stock 120mm tri-cool fans in my antec p180 case. The model I am looking at are Noctua, Scythe and SilenX.

I am looking for both silence and relatively high CFM. The fans will be controlled by a Sunbeam Rhoebus Extreme 6 fan controller.

I am opened to suggestions from other brands and comments on the fans I've mentioned above.

And also if you have the same case I do and you've replaced the stock fans let me know wich ones you chose and tell me about the results !

Thx !

I don't think you can go wrong with your planned brands. I like the zalman zm-f3 fans because I run them off the motherboard and they are cheap (also quiet).

I have some zm-f3 right now and you're right they are cheap but when you crank up the rpm's they are a bit too noisy for my taste and also I am looking for fans that move a bit more air than them.

But thanks for your response.

Scythe Ultra Kaze fans, 9.99 @ newegg.com, 133 CFM, and 45 DBA lol. I am running 4 of them.

Also consider Yate Loon. I have used these and imo, a little bit quieter than the Scyth ones.

47 CFM is WAY too low for a 120mm fan, and 28 DBA is high for that CFM.

Scythe S Flex and Slip Stream, FTW!!!

Seriously though, don't get the 1900 rpm slip stream. It's outrageous at full speed, it caused me to buy a couple Silverstone fan controllers (which I certainly don't regret).

Here's a great source if you're looking for quiet.

If you're looking for performance, just get a good name (Delta, Scythe, Yate Loon, Silverstone) with high CFM and crank it up.

KyleSTL have you tried the Scythe Slipstream ? I was reading about them on other forums and people who have them seem to be pretty satisfied. I was thinking of getting 2 1200rpm's and 3 1600rpm's.

I love the slip streams, at a certain RPM. I have the 1900s and they are absurd at full speed, but 1600 or 1200 sounds good. It's almost become the de facto 120mm fan over at silentpcreview.com, and that is quite the praise. I'd say go for it.
