New 120mm Fan - Recomendations?

[0iD]

The YStech fan on my radiator is on the way out, making a godawful racket!
So, befor I start hunting, can anyone save me some time & recomend a decent replacement, or should I go YStech again?

Depends on the CFM you want/need and the noise you can take.

if you want quiet go for the Thermaltake Thunderblade 120mm LED Fan

80cfm @ 21db

not only cheap but quiet and look good

You dont want airflow, you want high static pressure. Radiators restrict airflow a lot and without pressure the air isnt going to go through it, making high cfm low pressure fans pointless. What size is your rad, I can definatly recoomend one of these, which sucks a good airflow through two heatercores yet is silent at 8v (its rated upto 24v - I have an adjustable psu upto 41v if I ever want to deafen myself! )

However good luck finding one new at less than £50. I recommend goign to a car breakers and looking for a very small rad fan from the front of a car. They run at 12v dc so should be fine. They will be niosy at 12v so youd probably want to run it at 5 or 7v.

If you just want a good 120mm fan get the "XinRuilian 120mm Fan 0.4A" from http://store.over-clock.com/Case_Fans.html
Dont get the 0.18A fan as you can always just 5v these to get the same effect...

Also using two fans infront of each over will not create much more niose but will give a LOT more static pressure meaning two silent fans might be better than one high rpm high niose low pressure fan.
