Hi guys,

I want to buy new fans for my RX 360, but there are so many fans out there its hard to decide.
The most important thing to me is the noise, i really cant stand a noisy system.
And so far i have 2 options in mind, the Corsair SP120 QE, and the EK Vardar F2-120, both seem to have good Performance/noise ratio but which one is better do you guys think? or is there a better option?
 
I use three NF-F12s and 3 SP120s in push pull. Works for me. I like the SP120 where you can see then for the colours and the NF-F12s on the other side.

Wouldnt mix and match fans though - thats not great advise

SP120's are good easy to get hold of and the quiet editions are exactly that especially with the fan speed reducer - I plug mine straight into a molex too and dont even bother adjusting the speed.
 
If you have the money, NF F12

Easily controllable through PWM ( moreover they don't make clicking noise with PWM unlike some other fans ) and excellent performance
 
NF-F12's are amazing, I used to have them and I never heard them, even during gaming I had to put my head onto the top of my case to hear it. But then all I heard was the air being pushed into my ear :lol:
 
I use Cougar Vortex PWM fans in Push/Pull configuration because they are the quietest ones (that I've tried) with good airflow.
They aren't real pretty, but they are most certainly ~quiet~.

I run them at full speed all of the time.

NF F12 is THE 120mm fan
 
Yeah, only if THAT version were in black and not the Industrial ones.... as they are LOUD under higher RPM.

I actually like Noctua colour scheme

Moreover, regular noctua fans have a great bundle of accessories


p.s.: I'm pretty sure that those colours make them quieter :ph34r:
 
NF F12s are a good way to go too.

But I still stand by my Cougar recommendation. They're great fans.
This has three 120s and two 140s.

Not sure how many people will agree with you on that one ^_^ :lol:

Hell, if the colours make them quiete... than I'd think everyone would be pissed to have to re-paint their fans into poop brown and vomit tan in order to get them quieter :lol: (and yes, totally did the Linus quote there)
