You have done pretty good with your choice of fans so far...maybe with the exception of the Enermax. Fan suggestions are in my guide (first link in sig and stickied at top of forum). Best quiet fan Gentle Typhoon AP-15 or 14 if your looking for something a tad bit quieter. I also always suggest a fan controller so you can get that exact amount of "quiet" that your ears are tooned for.

I was looking for more air flow, should have mentioned that.
I've got a fan controller, Scythe KM01-BK "KAZE MASTER", http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-038-_-Product. Figured it was a must with the Panflo I bought, and it was.
EDIT: Love your guide btw.

For case fans and with a fan controller I would go for any of the fans in my guide in the Performance 25mm section. The cheaper fans are great for case fans (ZM-F3 and Yate Loon High Speed). R4's aren't a bad choice for case fans either.
EDIT: Thanks for the love

Slip Streams are overrated in their specs and do terribly on any kind of restriction even with dust filters being the only restriction. They will perform well as an exhaust with the mesh cut out and a simple wire fan guard but again, why go through all that trouble just to try and make a sub par fan perform well. Stick with the goodies and stay away from slip stream IMO.

And cost an arm and a leg considering they will only be used as case fans

There is no CFM in/out ratio due to there being too many variables to actually precisely measure the CFM and pressure of a case (model case, dust filters, mesh, cable management, etc...). Read my guide's section on air pressure. Should give you some insights as to what you want and what your case has.

Guess I'll go with that Yate Loon or a R4. Is there a optimum CFM in/out ratio? I've read about the negative and positive pressure set ups, but I don't remember seeing anything about how much air in versus out is best. |
