Good stores in Canada or that ship to Canada that sell quiet LED computer fans?

I need a 60, 2 80s, and a 120, LED fans.

On that note, what 60mm fan do I need minimium on my CPU to avoid frying it? Instead of a Delta black label, can I use an exteremely quiet fan that only pushes 13CFM?

i buy most of my stuff from NCIX.com, or tigerdirect.ca Canadacomputers.com has some OK deals from time to time.
 
forgot about anitec.com they have good prices, but they'll try and rape you on shipping, so use them as a pricematch store. 🙂
 
Think I should buy online? In general canadacomputers has good prices... thing is I don't know if they have quiet fans. And I don't know if I can exactly use a 60mm 13CFM fan on my CPU. Oh, my heatsink is an SK6.

ordering online is no biggie, just know what you're buying. Why not use a fan funnel and put an 80mm fan on that heat sink? That would be much quieter. How quiet are you looking for? I bought a wack of Vantec Stealth 80mm fans a while back from NCIX when they were on sale, and they are rated at 20db and 27cfm, which should be fine. Lifetime warranty too. 🙂 NCIX is who I recommend.

Still on sale? Have any?
I would use a fan funnel if I knew what it was. 🙂 Guide? or info? linky?

Looking for quiet LED fans, if possible.

The Vantec LED spectrums are around 34dba.
The Coolermasters are 25dba, but only come in 80. I guess If I knew how to do a fan tunnel, I would do an 80 in the exhaust, 80 on the CPU, and then a 120 for intake.
And the Antecs are 30dba.

And no one sells 120mm LED fans??
 
I hadn't noticed that you wanted LED Fans, the Vantec Stealth's that I have are all solid black, but they were fairly cheap. NCIX has them on sale from time to time. A fan funnel basically converts 60mm to 80mm, so you can use a bigger fan. something like this

As to 120mm fans.. here are the 120's that NCIX carries. I notice they have a few 120mm LED fans, not sure how quiet they are though. I know my PSU has a 120mm blue LED fan. I like it, far quieter than 80mm's, or at least somewhat quieter.

I believe my PSU uses an 80mm. hmm.m.. there's no poitn in getting an LED fan for the PSU right?
 
not really. my PSU came w/ it, so that's why I have it. Changing the fan in your PSU will void its warranty as well. The standard PSU fan is an 80mm. What case are you using this stuff in? B/c if it has no window, there isn't much of a point. 🙂

exactly what i was thinking, it's just a standard atx. i'm not sure if i'm getting a new case tho, so just speculating for now...

you think the easiest way to get a quiet case is to just fill it with vantec stealths? (80s and 120s?)

and how do I PM antiec.com on ncix?

How many do you think I need? PSU, CPU... I guess you can do without in/outtake, but...

what's the stats on your computer? is it overclocked? Realistically, an Athlon XP 2500 can run w/ just the PSU fan, another exhaust and the HSF.
 
oh, for price matching, go to your cart, then look towards the bottom it says "Start pricematch" or something... then input the URL for the item @ anitec, and the cost there, and you should be good. It has to be the exact same model obviously.

AXP1700. Rig is in the sig. I have the PSU, exhaust, CPU, crystal orb on the GPU and a small fan on the mobo.
 
if it isn't overclocked, you really don't need any more fans. 🙂 My parents have an AXP1600@2000 that I built for them, and it runs fine w/ only the HSF, PSU and 1 exhaust fan. and of course, there GF2mx400 has a fan.
