Best white fans for a new build

[Metalboz]

Can someone recommend some good quiet fans that move a lot of air?

I want to replace the following fans in my 600T white case:

2 x 120mm H100 radiator fans

1 x 120mm case exhaust fan

1 x 200mm case front fan

They don't have to have LEDs but options with white LEDs are good as well.

Have a look at the Enermax Cluster fans mate.

bitfenix specter led whites

bloody amazing fans have a 230mm side 200mm top and two 140mm in my haf922, cant hear a single one of them, plugged my side 230 into my hdd led header and top 200 into cpu led header xDDD looks awesome really recommend, or you can always go with noctuas if your bothered to re-spray them

Not white, I know, but clear with white LEDs might look pretty sweet in there too. 60CFM @20DBa. And only £6 a pop.

Got a couple in purple. and they're pretty good.

Bitfenix Spectre/Spectre Pro's are awesome, so too are Enermax's fans

For the 120s I like Gelid's silent series

Because it's silent

In your case they're interesting because they're white ^^

i just received a couple of artic cooling af12 PWM (4pin) units. black frame white blades. i havent tested them on water cooling

rads yet, but so far as a case fan not to shabby and cost wise easily liveable.

would love to see how it looks mate and your set up after all installed because i'm thinking of doing the same. Is it possible to install new fans without removing components or do you have to clear out the case before you start stuff like this?

Dont worry, i have 14 pics already which i will put into a build log when i have everything installed and set up how i want it. It will be next month when i start the thread though as i need to save up for the Corsair AX850 replacement power cables in white. Was thinking about going for the BitFenix cables but dont want all the extra cabling in the back of the rig, they only work out a little more as well

Build log will show everything from conception of rig, products arriving, first build, problems found, OC procedure, results......the lot!!

for replacing the fans, as far as i can see the exhaust fan and top fans are easily accessible with nothing needing to come out to get to them.

With the front 200mm fan, im guessing it is just the front mesh and the bottom HHD tray, which shouldnt be too difficult to do

awesome! well i'm looking very much forward to the build log mate. defo hoping to keep my 600t white for a long time to come so this is all food for thought. Which 120mm fan did you decide to go for for the exhaust? the white spectre or white led spectre pro??

One other thing. How have you found the sizing of the h100 in the 600t. i'm assuming you just have a pull or push set up rather than a push pull

just the white spectres all round. not too fussed with the LEDs, just want performance and at least still got the white fans.

H100 fits well as intended if you just want push or pull. There isnt room with the Sabertooth Z77 (and probably many boards) because of how close it sits to the CPU power header. When the cable is fitted the radiator sits pretty much on the cable so adding fans below that as well wouldnt work.

There are more adventurous ways to fit the radiator if you want but you would need to speak to someone else about other options (most involve drills and cutters!!

)

Again, all this should come out in a couple of weeks in the finished build log

on my white 600T I have 2 Gelid Silent 12s on my rad in the roof, they are alright, not silent, and a little off white with a slight pearl in the color of the fan blades.

My exhaust fan is the stock black Corsair fan but, I just love this fan and consider it the best looking option as a replacement, if they are good might put them on my rad also!

Spectre 200mm only has screw holes on the side that would allow you to mount it as exhaust btw. If you're using one as intake you're gonna need some longer screws/bolts/anti vib mounts.

Have you considered Fractal Design fans? They are white in colour, very quiet and inexpensive.

Got the spectres today and installed them already

Nice and quiet compared to the stock fans!!
