    Case and CPU fan replacements

    I am looking to replace the fans that come with the P182 case but i'm not too sure of what to get, whenever there seems to be a good one there turns out to be something wrong with them. What does everyone suggest. I will have 4 fans in the P182 overall.

    On the TRUE i obviously need a fan for it, what do you guys suggest to fit onto this.

    Re: Case and CPU fan replacements

    Those nexus ones seem as though they might get loud on the higer RPMs and quietness is what im aiming for. And the yate loons are too loud for me. Cheers for the links though.

    Re: Case and CPU fan replacements

    You would need a fan controller as they need to be undervolted at least a little.

    I stick by it, if SPCR use them they must be good lol.

    Scythe Slipstreams (also on specialtech) are very good also from what I hear.

    Re: Case and CPU fan replacements

    take a look into buying a fan controller - that way you can have it quite when you want.

    Re: Case and CPU fan replacements

    Scythe S-flex is a good fan,it's silent and push a lot of air. I have 3 on my PA120.3 radiator and I'm getting more to replace all the fans in my case.

    Re: Case and CPU fan replacements

    Noctua NF-P12 for the TRUE - high Static Pressure.

    Yate Loons (cheap)/Scythe S-Flex/NF-S12-1200 for case.

    I have 2 Scythe S-Flex on my rad and they are dam good. The only reason I didn't get the Noctua's was because of the awful colors.
