Anything as an alternative to Cooler Master Sickleflow 120mm

[Mathius]

I looking for very quiet 120mm case fans, and 3 of them.....

I can get 3x CM Sickleflow blue 120's for around £15-£18 but are there any other options?

Currently I have 1x 140mm stock case fan which is noisier than my videocard at 100% rpm.

any ideas......?

Either blue led or no led...

Dont get sickleflows.

Look at Bitfenix Spectre/Spectre Pro, Silverstone Air Penetrator or Corsair AF/SP.

Or check out Noiseblocker fans.

 

[Feronix]

Or Noctua

I can vouch for the Bitfenix Spectres (regular) they're very quiet

same i have 5 total spectres in my shinobi 2x 140 mm and 3x 120mm my pc is dead silent i have to check to see if there spinning by putting my hand over the exhausts and its very cold!

Ah yes but this is where price comes into it.....

Is what I have, there is one 120mm front intake and one 140mm on the top (rear, I can fit 2x 140mm up there )

I dont think I really need 3, but 2 is almost definitely... as the 140mm fan will be going on the AMD rig I have also (on the side panel - stock AMD HSF)

Lots of options but I want the best price/performance/noise ....... I looked at a few but are like £14 ea.

Really? No one mentioned the scythe gentle typhoons? They're epic
EDIT: you could also have a look at some phobya fans. Dipzy has some in is SR-2 rig. Not sure if he's tested them, but I'm sure he won't mind if you ask him how they are.

Thanks for the advice, will check up on the advice ager when ive got access to my pc again.

Sickleflows are my favorite fans!
I run mine at 12v without a probem and they push TONS of air; although they're a little loud... Doesn't bother me much though, GPU's a jet engine anyway

Back on topic, I would just get the sickleflows since they're such good value, and @12v they push alot of air with a little noise, and at 7v they're dead silent (to me - but I'm not a silence freak) - lovely LEDs too

Specre pro's are decent also but push a little less air while being a little more quiet.

Sickleflows are super loud for the record.
