Fans for Intake on P150 Case?

[RobDMB]

I spent the money and got a p150 for my next system and now I'm looking for some fans to put up front in the intake to provide a little more airflow since I do plan to overclock. Something quiet is preferred. Thanks, ROb

Any link to where i can find this fan model? ALso would i need a fan controller or do these simply connect to the power supply?

I used two 92mm Nexus fans and hooked them up to a fan controller. Of course I haven't been able to use the case yet, because I had to return my NeoHE PSU to antec. :| It's been a great paper weight for the last month. Glad I rushed to buy the P150 when it came out.:roll:

Nexus 92mm. no need to undervolt...they're quiet enough.

look around svcompucycle.com

Nexus 92mm. Run it at 5V with Zalman Fanmates. I can still hear them @ 7V, but they are very pleasantly quiet. 5V is unhearable from over 1m away

i have a nexus 92mm thinking i woudl get a p160. at 9v they're 100% SILENT in a SILENT ROOM! if you stick the thing next to your ear, you can hear a low rumble (nothing heard iside the case). at 12 v it's still probably silent...i ahve no clue what that guy is talking about.

Is the link below the Nexus fans everyone is referring me to? Also if I don't undervolt I don't need the fanmate right? Then I can just connect them to the powersupply?

Correctamundo.

Thanks for everyones help. Any suggestions on whether i should keep the 120mm fan antec provides for exhaust, or should i consider replacing this with a 120mm nexus as well?

Also this is probably a really stupid question, but what do people use to mount the fans? Is there anything I can buy like rubber washers to minimize noise?

I also have the P-150 case and I have two Nexus 92's in the front on a fanbay, and I have removed the Antec 120 in the rear and replaced with a Nexus 120, also on a fanbay. I'm still setting things up, but this is a very quiet setup...about as loud as my old Antec case with the stock 120 Tri cool on back set to med.
