Looking for 120mm fan recommendations/suggestions for WC radiators.
Low noise but with good airflow characteristics.

Thanks!

GT's are hard to beat. They also seem to have good longevity, since they've remained the fan of choice for the watercooling community for years now.

If you want acceptable noise levels then I suggest GT AP-14 (1450RPM) model. I experimented with AP-14 and AP-15 on my Corsair H60 and the AP-15 gave around 5 degrees better temps under real world loads, but I wouldn't sleep in the same room with a PC so equipped.

Noise must be a bit of an issue for you then. I sleep in the same room as my machine with 4x AP-15s and yes you can hear them, but the noise level is far from annoying.

I would recommend the Gentle Typhooon as well.

The AP-15 can run over a pretty wide voltage range. I have two running at 7V in my NAS and they are exceptionally quiet. Full speed they do make a little noise. If you want quiet at the full 12V, AP-14 is probably the way to go.
