Replacement 120mm Fans for Lian-Li PC-7B Plus

[napes22]

I have been told the fans that come with this case aren't very good, and can be loud at times. What would be good 120 mm fans to replace the stock fans with?

I have heard good things about the yate loons...very low noise, but also lower output. Is it necessary to have anything more than 47 CFA? The fans below I found have DB levels <30, and CFA higher than 47. I am being a little paranoid about the case fans because of cooling issues on my last system.

Also, are the Yate Loons smart fans? or would I need a fan controller to get the necessary speed.

You dont need a fan controller for Yale Loot fans, but it never hurts. They are pretty quiet from the start.

Look for thicker fans(35mm, not 25mm), That case should have the room for a thicker fan and the thicker ones move more air and create less noise.

also look on Performance-PCS and FrozenCPU.

Lian Li uses ADDA fans in their cases, which are good fans. With a fan controller they can be regulated to a tolerable noise level. I have 2 Lian Li cases that I'm using now as well as a Silverstone. ADDA also sells lower RPM fans that wouldn't be audible. For the most part, regardless of the brand of fan, check the RPM and dB of the fans.

So the ADDA fans are good, but without a fan controller, will they be extremely annoying?

and if so, could you suggest a cheaper/effective controller?

EDIT: How are these fans btw, anyone have experience with them?

Too bad you didn't think of getting a fan controller a few weeks ago, TigerDirect had a fan controller for only 7.97CAD, Doesnt look bad and it controls 7 fans & has 3 temp probes.

Now I think they discontinued it or something because I cant find it.

Some would disagree with this. Thicker fans generally make MORE noise.

Silverstone FM121 120mm fan is the best fan you can buy.
