Back in December I purchased a used Black Ice Extreme 240 with 2 25mm fan housing for shrouds, and 2x38mm Panaflow FBA12G12M fans.
They are LOUD, LOUD, LOUD. I like the performance, but it is incredibly loud. When I upgraded to core i5 I purchased a Lamptron FC-2, and the fans just don't scale well with the controller. They stay really loud until I turn the knobs almost all the way off, then they struggle to stay on, sometimes revving way down for a quick second. And I hear them rev down every so often real quick as if they lose power for a split second even while the fan controller is wide open. Something they didn't do prior to being plugged into the controller.
I need a couple of 120mm fans either 25mm or 38mm width that will maintain decent performance on my radiator but not give me a headache when sitting there.
Any suggestions on any alternative fans?
Thanks all.
