Default BEST 120MM case fans

Helloooooo

a friend of mine in my cisco class is wondering what the best case fan for between 10 and 20 dollars are. I showed him a xigmatek fan for 13.00$ and i was wondering if that was a good choice...

Are you looking for most air? Most silent?

A combo?

What case dose he have?
Is it going to be used on a case?

2k scythes! they are thick and efficient > when I mean thick / static pressure which equates to better cfms I have the 3k versions but they are just ridiculously loud...but I still like them with a good fan controller > I currently have the 3ks in my cm690 with the hot 4850xfire and it sure takes the heat out / just thought the 2ks would be the middle ground and you wouldnt need to buy a fan controller

Ultra Kazes click, do not undervolt well, have bad static pressure for a 38mm fan. And WILL NOT FIT!

I would suggest you pick up:

Scythe S-Flex G's

Though, Yate Loon High Speeds are better, they are Out of Stock right now.

Zalman F3's push a little less air than the S-Flex G's, but have a higher static pressure to keep airflow constant even when restricted by fan filters. They also come with nice rubber screws & an undervolting cable.

He either took out the HDD cage or modded it.

I own the Beta & Beta EVO. They only have a max room of 32mm, but only comfortable fit a 25mm fan.
