Which of these 120mm fans is best

[EsaT]

Which of the 120mm fans in here are good:
http://www.caseking.de/shop/catalog/def ... p?cPath=26

Being silent at default voltage isn't required because those tend to run at very low RPM and move very little air and I would prefer something which wouldn't keep much noise at default and could be adjusted to more quiet.
Also cheaper price is always bonus.

Here's some I've looked:

Scythe S-FLEX 120mm Fan SFF21E - 1200rpm:
14.9 EUR
Which is apparently very similar in performance compared to:
Papst 120mm Lüfter 4412 F/2GLL whose price starts to be too high:
18.9 EUR

Enermax WARP Fan UC-12AEBS - 120mm is apparently quite decent at low RPMs.
12.9 EUR

Sharkoon has some 120mm fans (Super Silent&Silent Eagle) at 10EUR price but are those comparable to those previous fans?

And Arctic Cooling has 120mm fans which are very affordably priced (6EUR) but I haven't seen those reviewed much anywhere.


Also there's some Liebermann (?) NCBearing fan at quite good price of 10.9 EUR

Enermax WARP Fan UC-12AEBS - 120mm[/url] is apparently quite decent at low RPMs.

The Enermax UC-12EB is a very good fixed-speed 1000RPM fan, if available.

Here in the USofA, that's called the Global Win (GW) NCB - an excellent, inexpensive (here) fan - 1300RPM nominal.

I've seen that. Basing to it and price difference I think I could discard Papst.

But Enermax fan and few others aren't included in there so getting equal picture from all is quite hard.

The Enermax UC-12EB is a very good fixed-speed 1000RPM fan, if available.

Well, fan in question just happens to be from Warp serie and there might be differences between them, at least specifications hint quite strongly towards that, other has quite nice airflow at 1000rpm while Warp model has low airflow.
UC12EB: 1000rpm, 44cfm
UC-12AEBS: 1000-2400rpm, 26.91-83.49cfm

Nice how they sell products under different names...
And that's also quite inexpensive price considering price level of fans in Finnish shops.

Same shop has also Nexus D12SL-12 (15.7EUR) which looks to be one the best fans but delivery time estimate is 2-4 weeks which can mean same in months... but at least they have few of them couple days ago.

I have both fans. At 1000RPM, they push exactly the same CFM, as the blade assembly is exactly the same (except for the sticky label). The "44CFM" is either a misprint or a usual fan marketeer's lie.

In that case have you compared them to some of these other fans?

I called shop and apparently is getting only small amounts of those Nexus fans because they have gotten only small quantities at once.

PS. Wouldn't it be nice to think there would be someone watching over all these marketing departments... and pointing heads with shotgun?

I found the review of Arctic Fan 12

I also installed a Arctic Fan 9 in my case and it is very quiet~no any vibration noise from the chassis becasue of rubber pin design(smart design)
