120mm fan recommendation

Post by majax79 » Fri Nov 09, 2012 1:17 am

I’m looking to buy some 120mm fans for my case and as a replacement for the stock fan that comes with the Hyper 212 EVO. I definitely want them to be quiet and I heard Scythe was the best. Which Scythe model should I get?

If you are loooking for PWM fan, then i would recommend to search for reviews for the following,

Noctua NF-F12 120 x 25mm PWM Fan (300 - 1500 RPM)
Noiseblocker NB-eLoop B12-PS 120mmx25mm Ultra Silent Bionic Blade PWM Fan (400 - 1500 RPM)
Scythe Slip Stream 120mm x 25mm PWM Mid Speed Fan SY1225SL12LM-P (300 - 1600 RPM)

I've got my Noctua cooler's fans as case fans (NF-P12) and a Scythe Slip Stream PWM "0-1300" as the cooler fan. At 600 RPM and 400 RPM it's all silent.
