HEY long time no thread
My old trusty SP120 fan that I use on my H75 is on its way out after 3ish years and two sweaty CPUS pumping out heat. I need to replace it however I'm pretty much out of the loop when it comes to fans nowadays..
So what I need-
-PWM, as I can't run a single 120 fan at a fixed voltage on my rig without deafening myself/overheating. Also it'll get left to render things out for hours on end without me being there to keep an eye on temperatures.
- As quiet as possible, both at low and at high RPMS. Currently the SP120 does this pretty well until it gets so slow it starts vibrating and making a ticking noise.
-Noctua (or similar) build quality. As above, my current fan isn't helping and the noctua that is used as a case intake is doing a much better job of not falling apart.
-No LEDs. It'll clash with the cathode case lights I'm planning on grabbing
Cost isn't an issue as its the only other fan in my rig. Ideally I'd like it to be a sutble color but at the end of the day you can't really see the fan unless you REALLY look.
Any suggestions welcome
