Quiet 120 mm LED fan

[Gautama2]

Im looking for a quiet (silent or near it preferably) 120mm fan with blue LED's, know any good ones?

Coolermaster, I think. I don't know if they're in stock right now, but tek-jems sometimes carries some blue-led Yate Loons.

The blue led Yate-loons are supposed to be very good if you can find them...

I have both the green and blue versions of the Coolermaster led fans and have been pretty happy with them.

Thermaltake Thunderblade. They have insane airflow (78CFM!) and are pretty quiet (21dBA).

The CM ones are quiet and don't cost much either. I got two from SVC for $6 each a few months ago.

Heh! I've been lurking for some good orange LED fans (b/o of course)!

Thanks!

Carry on...

I like the look of the Thunderblades, but is it actually 21 dba? One of you above said they were a lot louder, can anyone confirm this?

And I can use 2 of these 1 for intake and 1 for exhaust and all i do is flip the exhaust one over?

Never installed fans before >.<

Thermaltake fans are always louder than the specs say. Yes you can just flip the exausht over for an intake. OP: CM Silent LED fans are quiet, fast, and pretty cheap.

Cooler Master Silent LEDs. I run two of them.

I just got a Thunderblade yesterday, and tested it out on my current system. It isn't completely silent, but you have problems if the minimal noise bothers you. I'd recommend getting a dampener for your 120mm fan, to prevent some case vibration.

If you look at the stats of the 2 fans

Coolermaster Silent 120mm led: max 1220 rpm, 42.7 cfm, 22 db-a

Thermaltake Thunderblade 120mm LED Fan: max 2000 rpm, 78 cfm, 21 db-a

There is no way the Thermaltake fan is 21 db-a at 2000 rpm, I would say the Coolermaster fans are rated correctly.
