Case cooling

[eliotnz]

Heyo,

I'm after a decent 80mm or 120mm case fan. Basically, I'm wanting a quiet one (if possible with LED's or UV).

I've had a look at the Vantec range, but I'm not sure if their UV range fan's are also decent cooling fans (?)

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't work with LED fans, but if quiet is what you're looking for, consider the Panaflo L1A.

Yeah, someone recommended the Panaflo series, but I can't source them anywhere in New Zealand. Anything else?

Geez! You should have said something about living in NZ. Uhm...lemme check...

80mm Fans

And

120mm Fans.

Fans that have lower noise level (measured in dBA) are what you're looking for. Vantec Stealths are nice a quiet, but don't move a ton of air. I've used the 120mm Stealths, and they are totally silent.

Also, you could purchase a fanbus and rig normal fans to it, reducing the RPM and noise produced as needed.

Cheers mate. Thanks for helping.

I've currently got a Vantec Spectrum PCI fan running in my system. Very nice fan, useful for overclocked systems, but I'd like something a little extra to help it along.
