Need a new 120MM case fan

[Atty]

My 120MM died in the front of my PC and my temps have risen pretty drastically, about to order some other stuff of NewEgg and am going to add a new fan to the list but I need advice.

Best 120mm fan?! Need a good bit of airflow but would prefer it doesn't sound like a jet engine taking off. It's an intake fan, I don't care if it's LED light.

There are quite a few of them that fit your criteria. Check out the new Scythe Gentle Typhoon. It looks interesting, but I have not personally heard it in person, though I am fond of Scythe's S-Flex and Slipstream fans. They make quality fans for sure. The best bang for the buck would be Yate Loons. They push a surprising amount for their noise levels. I prefer to get them from Petra's. That model is the midspeed and you can get the low speed which the Yate is most well known for, or the high speed for a bit more flow but it's still not like a jet engine. Don't let the lack of fancy marketing and buzzwords scare you from the Yates, they have a reputation for performance. There is a small chance of getting a bad sample, but so far I have not (at least not from Petra's).

I'll go ahead and look into the Scythe's since I can find them on NewEgg. Any specific model to look for? I wish I could find what the airflow was on my previous fan so I could replace it with something similar.

Any label on the old one? Fairly easy to track down specs by model number.
