Antec UFO Fans!

If someone could come out with a VERY quiet, very high static pressure fan, in something other than beige, and not for stupid money, and not in some stupid design, I reckon it would go a LONG way...

Noctua iPPC F12 - circa 20 quid per fan, lol no
EK-Vardar F4-120ER - ugly as sin
beQuiet! Silent Wings - terrible mounting and custom designed frame

iPPC's aren't excessively priced, they are just excessive quality. The 'sticker' on the motor is Aluminium and i'm not talking foil either.

The Vardar 'ER' isn't out yet but it will be available in all black and all white with a ridiculous PWM range of 500-2200RPM, Vardars have done extremely well in testing so far there is no reason to think that won't be exceptional. The design is so simple, it's difficult to find it offensive unless you just hate what fans look like.

..and yeah beQuiet! haven't developed the prettiest fan in the world but at least they have developed a truly isolated mounting unlike Corsairs attempt at vibration damping for show.


Anyway there are a hell of a lot of options, they were just three that came to mind with exceptional quality and the engineering to back up their performance claims. If you want a quiet rig just run them slower, it's definitely possible to get near silence. Pumps need far more development IMO.

Fan Spec. These fans are best as a case fan, not a radiator fan as the spec's below show!
