Hello all,
I am putting together a new build and am looking for some fans. I have a Lian-Li PC-V2100 Plus 2 with a PA120.3 radiator mounted in the bottom of the case. Despite all the flaming, I went ahead and purchased a boatload of 38mm SilenX fans, which I regret. Some of them have a weird clicking sound when running, and ALL of them make a horrible hum when I turn them below full power on my FrozenCPU PWM Fan controller.
I have 2 YL 12CM fans arrive either tomorrow or friday I am going to test out, but want to ask you all for opinions. I want fans that work well with my PWM fan controllers. Since I have them on fan controllers they don't have to be extemely quiet, but I want them to get good ratio's, so that I can keep them fairly quiet when I'm not running a load.
Don't worry, I only use my PC for gaming, and I use headphones (can't figure out how to position speakers in my room...), so I am not they pushing for absolute quiet (thats why I got the SilenX after all, I heard they still had good ratio's, but lied about how quiet they were), but I would still like to have it possible for me to make my neww build quiter when I need it.
Thanks all.
P.s. I am looking for non-led. While I do have lighting in my case, it is all on a switch so that I can keep my room darker. I like a cave.
