Which fans for Antec 1100

post #1 of 9

Thread Starter 
Should have renamed this to: "Which of the following is the best fan for airflow"

:
1) Corsair AF120 Quite Edition
2) Enermax UCTB12P (T.B Silence - PWM Series)
4) Zalman ZM-F3
5) Arctic Cooling F12
5) Scythe Kama Flow 2 (any RPM, possibly 1600. see disclaimer 1) Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
if you want to add fans / recommend different fans that the only ones you can (i.e. available) are from these two sites:
1 - http://en.ksp.co.il/?select=.1066..186..022
2 - http://www.ivory.co.il/catalog.php?act=cat&id=6084&orderBy=priceHigh (Warning: in Hebrew)


Disclaimer:
1) i will be using an ASUS Maximus V Formula Motherboard, which has more than enough fan connectors on it (2 cpu fan and 6 case fan) which is why i do not really care about the fan speed (and thus its max noise) of the fans because i will be able to controll them in the Fan Xpert II software. (which is genius)

2) the fans would be used in an orientation similar to this picture: Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

(not front intake, but still a sort of an intake)




Help is very appreciated smile.gif

in the second spoiler i have listed the 2 (main) retailers that have the best selection of PC Hardware around here. (by here i mean Israel, we are kinda screwed in that department)

believe me that i would have loved to get the yates, but sadly they aren't available here.


so any advice for choosing the best fan from the 5 listed above? (btw, if the AF120 Performance Edition would have bin in stock or the AP15 we wouldn't having this conversation tongue.gif )

TBH in my opinion a fan is a fan. I mean sure there are some differences between them but i've choosen mines mostly because of the aesthetic/brand name.
My advice would be to pick up the ones that looks the best to you or that come from your favourite brand.



I dont know anything about fans, btw, so dont quote me on that. I just dont think that the difference in terms of performances is THAT big, but feel free to prove me wrong thumb.gif

Thanks for that. but still, some fans are better than others. some are quieter at the same RPM, some push more air than others, some last longer than others and so on...
(if you have seen how the fans mount in the place i wish to mount them, their looks wont really matter. unless they are LED. btw, do you think the led fans will light up the interior of the case in that mounting spot?)


Is there anyone else with any experience / opinion on any of the above fans?
