Yate Loon case fans?

[stopthekilling77]

I've looked on newegg, frys, and tigerdirect and I don't know of other good, trusted etailers that carry Yate Loon fans.

More importantly I need them to move a decent amount of air in this case with the least dB possible: Cooler Master Centurion


Halllp!

Yep... what he said. Ordered from them in the past, will definitely order from them again.

Great! Which fans would you suggest?

[martini161]

for a really flexible combination i would go with the highspeed ones and buy a fan controller. i have mine running at full speed on my rad (4 of them) and i swear it sounds like the case is gonna take off any minute but if you take the speed down they still provide good airflow

[stopthekilling77]

how about noise levels when the high speed fans are running at low speeds with those controllers?

When I recently added water cooling I bought 3 yate loon 120's and a fan-speed controller. On "medium" setting you barely hear them, at full speed they can make a bit of noise. Consider though that mine are mounted on top of my rad, which is mounted on top of my case. So they're about 2' from my head when I sit in the chair. I imagine that inside of a case they wouldn't be too noisy. I think I'll be buying a couple more to replace the existing case fans and will probably use them in future builds.

Cool, I was looking at the medium or low-speed ones considering that I'm building this for my dad, who wants this as quiet as possible. (I'm telling him that he'll want a different video card down the line as my old 7800GT is not exactly quiet) Anyway, I think a speed controller would defeat the purpose of my K.I.S.S. approach if I can just control the fan speed in the BIOS.

According to Silent PC, the Scythe E are a good bet for quiet and effective. J-T has them for around $14 each with a quantity discount over 2 or 3 each. I'm going to try to order some next payday for my Antec 300s.

they do have a 3pin header with rpm control if you have enough headers on your mobo

Sounds great! Thanks everyone!

BTW, I'm looking at Jab-Tech's site and I must be having a stupid moment. Is this the one you're talking about? http://jab-tech.com/Scythe-S-Flex-Fan-S ... -3256.html

That would be them.

Great, I just read up on them at SPCR, thanks again!
