120mm PWM options

[Throbbi]

Hey guys, I'm using a CM Seidon CPU cooler (yeah, not as good as the corsairs or antecs but still is performing better than any aircooler I've had so far and looks better) but the stock fan is just horrible for noise, even at 1000rpm it gives a nasty whine. Just wondering on opinions for a 120mm PWM fan which will be quiet and shift decent air, bonus cookies for blue LED but not essential.

I have thought about a bitfenix spectre as OCUK have them at a good price (and it's juts up the road) but they're not the best for shifting air.

Why does it have to be PWM?
Can you not just fit them up via molex and leave them at 7v or something?

To answer the question though, Noctua NF-F12s if you can afford them. Akasa Apaches tend to be recommended round here, but I've never used them myself.

Wanting PWM does limit your options significantly.

yeah noctua nf-f12 are great pwm fans mate

Cheers guys. I need PWM as it's going on the CPU header, I could take it direct to PSU or possibly the fan controller but I do like having that automatic control should it need it.

I'll look into an NF-F12, seems the way to go.

You could try the Corsair SP120, i have them in my system and they are darn close to dead silent, plus they shift a bunch of air. - theyre worth the cost!

NF-F12 for the win, I love mine!

I'll square you up a couple of Akasa Piranha's mate

PWM equivalent of GT 1850's, I've got them running on my backup rig with a Xigmatek Aegir SD 128264 and they perform flawlessly
