Best bang for your buck 120mm fans

[heartspains88]

To put it simply I need to purchase 5 120mm fans.

I have noctua's and love them, but I cannot afford to purchase 5 right now. 25$ each, plus sales tax, plus shipping.. you get the idea.

I dont like LED fans, as plain as possible.

Quiet, Moves a ton of air, and as cheap as possible.

so far I'm leaning towards enermax magmas. at around 10$ each and good reviews.

Anyone have any recomendations?

For quiet these are some of the best fans out there.

akasa venom

As per my other thread I'm looking close at the akasa apache's, how would you compare those to the venom's?

Akasa apaches look close in quality and ratings to noctua, though with 1/3 of the life span.

I'm really torn between enermax magma's, and akasa apache's personally. But I could be over looking something.

the venoms look better in my opinion

you mean viper? venom is a CPU fan/heat sink.

but I'm referring to bang for buck. so I'm still torn between the two i mentioned.

however just looked at the specs on the viper and those are up there also.

glad I found a good us retailer for akasa products. the vipers look good at barely more noise for a lot more cfm

Hard to beat Noctua NF-P12's imo, I'm running 3 of them as exhaust fans in my case, and they move a sh!t load of air and run super quiet. The only other fan's I'd use are the Be Quiet silent wings fans, but you have to get creative with a drill mounting them, as they come with fan clips and no actual screw holes.
