Antec 900 case fan replacements? - Overclock.net

seven9st surfer · 05-04-07

I got a 900 a while ago, and i gotta say, im not diggin the LED fans that came with it. they seem kinda loud, even on low (prolly mostly my PSU tho), but more importantly, the LEDs are freakin bright. Ive always left my comp on overnight, and its in my room. but with those LEDs, its like having a huge nightlight on. So i was thinking about replacing them with some quiet, non-LED fans. I've been looking at the Silverstone FN-121's, the Noctua's, and the Scythe's. Anyone have any experience with these? open to suggestions.

I guess they dont have to be the best in airflow ratings, cause I'll have 3, plus the 200mm fan at the top. i just want something non-LED, 120mm, and pretty quiet. good airflow would be a plus tho. Thanks for any suggestions

these are quiet, but they are a little on the weak side.

SilenX
They have them on newegg.com OR CyberDruid is selling them.

those silenx's are getting pretty good review. does anyone actually have any of them?

sucks they're over $20. but, i just got $150 for selling back my books at the end of the semester, so i might look into picking up 3 of them. i think it would be worth it to have a solid, quiet case. also, not being LED, it'll make my case look even more black, which im after

Oh, and no one makes 200mm fans, do they? might consider swapping out the top fan if i find a good one. thanks for the help yall

Honestly, the 200mm fan is perfect. It already moves plenty of air, and I have mine of high, and it makes no noise compared to the other fans.

I have a few

I like them--I changed out the fans in my 900 with 120 x 25 in the front and 120 x 38 on the side panel and rear. Very quiet and comparable to the tricool on high...

The 200 mm fan by Antec is awesome--I bought two spares from Antec.
