I know there is a whole article on the 120mm fans but im still debating 3 of them and wanted other opinions.

1. Yate Loon D12SL-12 120MM
2. Scythe S-FLEX SFF21F
3. Noctua NF-S12-1200

I think this should be moved to forum section "Fans and Control".

which one is "best" depends on what you're going to use those fans for and what your budget is. case ventilation? cpu heatsink? radiator?

if u want bang-for-buck and the fan is going to be in a vertical position, go Yates (assuming u get them from Petra's Tech Shop... I've heard quality varies wildly with the other online stores).

if u want quiet, and u can get them go SlipStreams. Or Nexus, for that matter.

Hiya,

I think the 800RPM Slipstream is an excellent choice.
