What size? And are you going for air pushers, or quiet ones?

 

[RallyMaster]

I'll start naming the brands with: Nexus, Akasa, Cooler Master, Scythe, Arctic Cooling.

I pass on some good info I recieved if you need some good 120mm fans:

Good CFM and noise scaling. They're silent at 7v.

$25 minimum purchase though for that store. Just order 7 of them like I did.

Works great for you since you need 7, they are a steal for $28. You could also pick up some resistors there for $.25 a pop and solder them in to make them run at 7 volts if you so desire and if you have the skill.

I checked the link so hoping those were Delta Triple Blades. Good fans nonetheless.

For Cheap and Good fans, look to Arctic Cooling. We have 2 AC units (AF8025 and AC Fan 8) in what was a rather loud comp; now the fans are practically inaudible (the CPU HSF is still loud tho, but the AC Freezer will take care of that in a few days )

7 AF8025 fans or 7 AC PRO TC (variable speed) fans are nice, quiet, and push a lot of amount of air for low noise level and a good price. SVC has good prices on both right now. 7 Pro TCs will set you back only $21 before shipping.

For exhaust, you could throw some AC Fan 3s in there. $3 each at SVC.

Or if you really want cheap and decent fans go for this Cooler Master 6 pack for only $12
Sleeve bearings, but the price is awesome. Then just get 1 more fan of whichever model you like.

996GT2 has the idea. Got a pack of those Cooler Masters myself. Still got one left over.

I use these for case cooling and there're QUIET
Yate Loon 120mm are quiet.

I have about a half dozen 80mm Panaflos and a few other 80mm brands that are surplus.

PM me if interested.

hmm now im not sure what to get lol.

 

[Zepper]

Well, we narrowed the field for you from a few hundred options down to 5 or 6 - you should be able to handle it from here...

[Zap]

Hey look, you said cheap so $9.90 out the door (unless you get taxed) is pretty darn cheap. You can throw away the extra three fans, or even sell them off - heck find three guys local to you that will buy them for $2 each and you'll have 7 fans for $4.

 

[Jules]

nah only 22cfm and 22db

$30 worth of fans? I thought you said cheap? Cooler Master fans are fine. I have a few. They sell various versions - I got the 120mm "Silent" models but they sell higher RPM/noise/CFM models as well. Likely similar offerings are available for other sizes as well. Plastic on mine are crystal clear and the LEDs look great.

 

[RallyMaster]

When you're using 7 of them, you DON'T want a lot noise. Besides, 7 of them would allow about 60-70 CFM of air throughout the case.

I know i have 7 fans in my case now. Reason for me buying all new ones is because the 2 front died so i figured id change all of them.

 

[Jules]

The fans i got are the Thermal Take 8025A's but they arnt the 2b's that are 37cfm with 30dba. they are the A8025L12S Cant find any info on them.

what kind of case actually supports 7 fans? can you link me to it or at least state your case model?

 

[Zepper]

My case (Silverstone Berserker) can hold 6 or 7 fans depending on size but I only use two besides the PSU fan - all the other positions have their access to the outside blocked off.
