i would choose the corsair af series or the sp series GET THE SP SERIES IF YOU HAVE HDD CAGES. if u dont then AF is the way you wanna go. some people might say that phantek fans are better. but i have had both and the corsair AF pushes out more air then the phantek. just my thoughts im sure somone here will correct me. OH also if u dont want ur fans to look good look at nocutas fans they are amazing but look like shit litterly

 

[mrgoodtouches]

oh sorry get the corsair SP if u have or plan to have alot of hdds if you only plan on having one or two stick with corsair AF for everything. that or noctua

 

[Bossyfins]

Nope. Nontua fans destroy every fan on the market in terms of queitness-performance.

Worth their price too

noctuas are the best only bad thing about them is the colour although the black/brown ones arent as bad

 

[Bossyfins]

The new industrial ones are cool.

Also note, the industrial ones are strong as hell. I think some can be used under water 😵

I've always considered Noctua ugly and expensive, then I bought one for my H60. Now I'm a Noctua convert, upgraded from the NF-F12 to an NF-F12 iPPC-3000, I tried it with the settings for the NF-F12 and decided it was too loud @ 100%, cut it to 70 and it cools better than the regular F12 and is only just a bit louder. And the new Industrial ones are more pleasant on the eyes than the old ones.

+1 for Noctua

 

[qwerty987123]

i think it really says something when every person has recommended one brand

 

[po1nted]

Are the Noctua fans ugly... yes. Does it matter... heck no. Because they work! And you never see your case fans, so who cares.

I have a couple dozen scattered in machines around the house and not a single one has ever failed or made a peep of noise not normally attributed to a fan. They are worth every penny.
