Im looking to get 3 blue led 120 MM case fans But i was wondering, what would be a good brand? and what to look for? i see so many brands as it is.. So whats good? and wont leave you In regrets in the long run?

i dont Mind Sound so i dont really care if its a little loud of a fan :p
 
dandragonrage has a good point...

but Delta, scythe, sanyo and adda are a few good names to start with

I think Gelid FN-FW12BPL fans fit what OP's looking for. I only have knowledge of them cooling in P/P on a rad, but they do cool a tad better than GT AP-15s.
Of course they are PWM fans, so they're not exactly cheap (~$19 via Directon).
 
Led ones arnt that great? darn :/ the ones i current have are Red LED Rosewill ones and there pretty much on there last leg @_@ Hmm..
 
Well, if you don't care about noise or static pressure (as is the case for a case fan), I would argue that you have no need for a good fan. The $10 CM R4s should be fine
 
yate loons are pretty good, i believe they have some led versions also.

Only if you use them blowing air horizontally. They die quickly if you use them at the top of your case due to the sleeve bearings. I've forsaken them completely because I don't want to deal with that crap anymore. I'm using S-flex and Enermax Magma only at the moment.
 
are the Delta ones pretty good? i know they arnt LED but I care More about my system then fancy lights..
 
Delta, Panaflo/NMB MAT, and San Ace are all industrial oriented manufacturers. Their specs are accurate and their products are very high quality and very rugged.
 
if you're looking for just simple case fans (not heatsink/radiator fans) it really shouldn't matter what you use unless you're intake/exhaust options are severely limited (single intake and exhaust, as opposed to multiple). I'm not saying go for any pos fan, but you shouldn't need the best performers out there, lol.
 
Well, from your post, you do not care about noise and the only other requirement you listed was LED...So, pretty much buy whatever? Delta, NMB, Scythe, San Ace are all great fans as others suggested, but are all performance oriented and none of them sell LED fans. The CM fan suggested for LED and the YL are options for LED fans that are pretty cheap.
 
well the only reasson why i wanted LED was couse i like LED xD But i mean thats just a want, and a need can easly over power that Lol, My systems care is More inportent then a want of pretty lights :p LEDs dont cool your hardware xP so yeah lol
 
scythe ultra kaze. Only way to go. lol, but check out koolertek they usually have some good deals
 
I like GELID's...They're cheap & the white looks good & understated...performance is really good & sould levels are really low...
 
Eh.. I think ive desided, I care more for my systems perforence then the pretty colors of lights :p

I rather have a Black fan that has no Leds But a wicked hardcore cooling and Long lasting life :p

LED fans just make things look pretty.. they dont effect the system really other then just looks..

But even a Old beat up hot rod can still Kick the bumper of a Modern car, hehe.. Just in a matter of speeking.. So yeah thank you all for your replys ^_^ ive learned alot even if it seems this thread was simple..

I know now what i need and hopefully will get it soon ^_^
