fan choice

[bwanaaa]

using a noctua dh14 cooler but realized the 3 pin fan plug does not have a monitoring wire for the motherboard (M5Gene) fan powerplug. To be able to control the fan I need a pwm fan.

Any suggestions?
How about a thermalright ty 150
Fan Speed: 500~1100RPM (PWM)
Sound Level: 17~21dBA
Airflow: 38.2~84.2CFM

or a Thermalright TR TY-140
Fan Speed: 900~1300RPM (PWM)
Sound Level: 19~21dBA
Airflow: 56~73CFM

compared to the Noctua NF-P14-FLX 140 that comes with the cooler
Rotational Speed (+/- 10%): 1200 RPM
Rotational Speed with L.N.A. (+/- 10%): 900 RPM
Rotational Speed with U.L.N.A. (+/- 10%): 750 RPM
Airflow: 110,3 m³/h
Airflow with L.N.A.: 83,7 m³/h
Airflow with U.L.N.A.: 71,2 m³/h
Acoustical NoiseL: 19,6 dB(A)
Acoustical Noise with L.N.A.: 13,2 dB(A)
Acoustical Noise with U.L.N.A.: 10,1 dB(A)
Static Pressure: 1,29 mm H2O
Static Pressure with L.N.A.: 0,77 mm H2O
Static Pressure with U.L.N.A.: 0,53 mm H2O

the cooler also has Noctua NF-P12 120
Rotational Speed (+/- 10%): 1300 RPM
Rotational Speed with L.N.A. (+/- 10%): 900 RPM
Min. Rotational Speed (PWM): 300 RPM
Airflow: 92,3 m³/h
Airflow with L.N.A.: 63,4 m³/h
Acoustical Noise: 19,8 dB(A)
Acoustical Noise with L.N.A.: 12,6 dB(A)
Static Pressure: 1,68 mm H2O
Static Pressure with L.N.A.: 1,21 mm H2O
.

dont know why the noctua cooler comes with two different fans. why didnt they just put 2 big ones?

Wow, I didn't even know Thermalright had a TY-150. Anyway, I can't say enough good things about the TY-140 and I'd assume the TY-150 would be great as well. They're over sized, move a lot of air, and are very very quiet.
