Thanks, the hartware review helped a lot. I guess I won't be getting the 1900RPM at all, since it only went down to 1080RPM. Now to decide between the 1600RPM S-Flex or Minebea... *Edit Holy crap I did not realize that the Massive Fan Shootout Article was actually more like 6 articles instead of 6 p...

Which fan is quieter/has better noise signature?

120mm Minebea 1600RPM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185029 or 120mm S-Flex SFF21F 1600RPM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185006&Tpk=sff21f I'm pretty sure the SFF21F is less noisier but I also read somewhere it has an uglier more annoying noise si...

DBB motors do last longer, but these fans cost almost nothing, so it's not that big of a deal. The open corner thing means it has a gap for mounting like you said, so don't buy the closed corner.

By overheat I mean I dont want them to exceed their recommended thermal limits when on load for a while. Wouldn't want them to fry or something like that :P

Will this get toasty?

Will a P182 with these specs be OK or will it overheat?
QX6850 w/ Ultra 120 Extreme HS w/ S-Flex 800RPM
8800Ultra
Corsair 620w
and S-Flex 800RPM's in all three default locations, plus one in the middle front. HDD cage (front middle) will removed.

I am NOT overclocking any parts.

Two questions: What's the quietest 120mm at stock, and..

So can anyone link the quietest 120mm at stock with open corners (not counting those ultra low CFM fans that were meant for water cooling), and also, how's the Suscool 121?

Is it as quiet as they say?

Would positioning a Ultra 120 horizontally help w/ VGA temp?

In a P182, if you positioned a ultra 120 horizontally so that the fan was intaking air across the VGA card, would it help reduce VGA card temps without compromising CPU temps? Is it even possible to mount a ultra 120 extreme horizontally in a P182? Oh yeah, besides the default fans there'll be an ex...

Do I HAVE to install the Tuniq fan controller w/ the tower?

I wanna get the Tuniq Tower, but I wanna know first if I have to install the fan controller. Can I just plug the Tower's fan into the mobo and just control that fan via software, and circumvent the fan controller entirely and just leave it in the packaging box or something?

What's this I hear about Noctua NF-S12-1200's and pressure?

I heard that in a P182 with a Ultra 120 Extreme HS you shouldn't have NF-S12-1200's in your case due to pressure issues/something about air and the huge heatsink obstruction. What's this about?

Oh yeah, if this is true, then the S-Flex 1200 RPM fan doesn't suffer from this issue right?

Questions about the low profile D12SL-12C and P182

Will Yate Loon D12SL-12C Low Profile 120mm fans fit in positions 1, 2, 4, and 6 w/o modifications (That HDD Cage in front of 4 will be removed)? Also, will it mount onto a Ultra 120 Extreme w/o modifications? And if it can't fit in a specific position, can someone link another Yate Loon that will fi...

How quiet is a P182 with 4 1350RPM Yate Loons?

I'm thinking of getting a P182 and replacing the 3 default fans with Yate Loons and then putting another Yate Loon on the hard drive cage mount thingie. Would this significantly increase airflow? Also, how quiet would it be? Oh yeah, how hard is it to remove the default fans and mount the Yates? Do ...
