Antec Tri cool 120mm VS Apevia 120mm

[Flogger23m]

I have one of each of the following fans sitting around. Going to put one of them in my case eventually (only room for one). Which one provides the best air flow and lowest noise? I've noticed the Apevia doesn't have a fan controller, so I am leaning towards the Antec. I'd run it at low in the winter and med or high in the summer.

I doubt it will make much of a difference (both are generic 120mm fans), but I just wanted to know if anyone had any preferences.

These are the two fans in question:

I've been happy with the air flow Antec 120mm Tri-cools. I've only had to replace one and it lasted for about four years.The controller on Antec is nice and it's pretty quite on the low setting.

I have 4 of the tricool in my case and it's very quite on low, even with the case open!

the only sound I can hear is from my freezer 7 CPU cooler since it's a smaller fan

Thanks for the replies. I will probably put the Antec in then.
