01b0f920_30fans.png

3 Bgears B-Blaster
5 Coolermaster Turbine Master
5 Coolermaster Excalibur
2 Antec Tricool
2 Antec Kuhler Fans
3 NZXT FN-140
4 Yate Loon D12SH-12
1 Noctua NF-P14
1 Aerocool Shark
2 Xigmatek Crystal Series
2 Thermalright TY-140

Probably childsplay in ehume's eyes! nonetheless, my collection is surpassing 30 now! (I have a few more not pictured in the closet)

I'm happy to be-gone with the LED fans, It was cool for a year.. then I begun missing a dark room to sleep in at night. Now with Excaliburs & Turbine Master's, I have a dark room to sleep in again.

The CM Turbine Master has impressed me as a solid silent case fan, The gimmicky center cap

actually does seem to help direct more air in, especially when another fan is exhausting into it. Less of a dead-spot anyway.

The Excalibur and B-Blaster's can really run wild if you let them, wind-tunnel esq CFM, you will want to tame them with a fan controller.

TY-140's, Probably the best of the lot IMO, obviously the NF-P14 is right there too. The performance of the Bgears for $10 is hard to mess with aswell.

^--- agreed!



i think im at 57 fans, now? since testing the 800D in an air-flow config and now the arc midi my
collection has grown and i for-see it'll prolly expand, too.

in the 140mm class (not as popular as 120mm fans) the price vs performance vs audible is quiet well.
and they color change (light 2-coats) well without adverse effects. and use ball-bearings as well!

Epic picture, love it.

I feel like I'm in the beginning stages. I have it under control right now. Except for the Noctua P14 that just came in though rolleyes.gif. Finding a good fan really has kind of become a hobby in its own. I have to give a shout out to my thermalright X-silents. At one point the 120mm were at $8 a fan. At full throttle these are barely audible. Love my noctua's though. Want to get my hands on a TY-140 some day.

EDIT: That new fractal case define R4 I think has all 140mm mounts. And the intake are 120/140. Would love to test that case with all NF-P14s or TY-140s.

Glad you like it, I knew a few people would appreciate it thumb.gif

TY-140's use 120mm fan mounts so they are pretty good for anything, & only $13 at PPC's (and at Directron)

Let me tell you, running a dark case for the first time in years is weird, I double checked to make sure it was still on at one point last night.. I do enjoy half my room no longer being illuminated blue though. It was cool for a while, and if I had a PC room, I'd probably still have LED's.. but I sleep in here so yea..

Swiftech fans...haven't looked into those.
I like the CM Turbine fans, and I'll get an Aerocool Shark 140mm soon, along with two 120's for a push/pull Mux-120 Black.
Gotta do some research...
