Need Advice On Case Fans.

[gooseman]

I just got a new Antec SX1240 case. BIG damn case!!! It has room for 5 80mm fans. Can you guys tell me what the quietest fans are that still move a good deal of air?

Thanks,
William

I'm not a huge fan buff, but to my knowledge, Panaflows are relatively quiet and high quality. Sunon's however are generally loud, but with lots of airflow. Mikewarrior2 is our resident cooling expert, I'm sure he'd have more advice for you. Good luck!

Panasonic's Panaflows are good choices. The suffix in the fan model number will be an L, M, or H, which corresponds to the amount of airflow. Check this page out for info on their 80mm fans. Another good choice is the Adda fan, here.

Thanks guys, I'll read up on the panaflows and the adda.

Check this thread out in Hot Deals for a great price on Panaflos. MPJA has the low speed and medium speed fans.
