recommend a 4 pin PWM 120mm fan

Hi, I just got a second hand Scythe infinity but I need a new 4pin PWM fan for it what can everyone recommend in the £4-£8 range, was tempted by the Nexus but I've read its a bit noisy.

thanks

Fans OCZ use on the Vendetta2 keep u looking back at them to see if they're actually working - cos u can't hear em !

No idea how much they cost.

Anyone got any links to a good 4pin fan?

good price too!!

Nexus specs look good, but from what I could find out the high speed range coupled with the stiff clear plastic frame doesn't make for a quiet fan.

I've seen the Arctic Cooling fans but I've got no personal experience with them. (not enough posts to add a link)

There does seem to be a lack of choice with PWM fans, my plan was not only to put one on my Scythe infinity but to also use one as a rear case fan.

i had an Arctic cooling fan, it was dead quiet but it didnt blow out enough air for me

Sounds like the usual story then, if you want quiet then you get low airflow. I have a few of the Nexus 120mm 3pin fans and they are pretty much silent but have the cfm equivalent to a nat's fart, okay to use as intakes though.

I'm not willing to shell out for Noctua's so I'll never know if the hype is really true

Noctuas were great when they first came out, not now though, just buy yateloons tbh

Anyone have a Xilence Redwing PWM they can comment on as they are available on Watercooling UK, if not I think I'll just go witht the AC version and report back
