fan suggestions for SUPER QUIET 22dBA COOLER and case fans

[Corfate]

From what i've read on push/pull configs, most people only see a degree or so with the addition of the second fan pulling the air from the pushing fan. Also, you need 2 of the same fans running at the same speed, so off the same mobo header using a splitter cable Got my second fan coming for my cooler, so when it finally comes i'll tell you if i see any actual temp differences.. They managed to oversell the fan so i have to wait for them to get some stock in.. fml.

yeh i am unsure whether these are intake or exhaust thats the problem because if these are meant for intake only, you will be pretty much starving it of air and the air wil be coming from the front and bottom straight out the side, completely missing the graphics card and CPU cooler although the component fans will pick some of it up

Probably for most cards, def all the amd cards I have seen that have a 'blank' face, a intake would work wonders, but as the 570 pumps warm air towards the side panel an exhaust should be an effective way to get rid if it. Wouldn't want a high cfm fan though or it would suck out the intake from the front/base

if it was my case, this is how i'd set it out.

get ya self four 140mm fans, two for top exhaust and two for the side panel, best you can get (be aware of the noise though) for the rest of the case fans that are 120mm get ya self a load of really good fans. certainly modding a 120mm on the back of the drive bay cage would be a good idea for help getting cool air onto the gpu,

To be honest you dont need mega high cfm fans, what about coolermaster sickleflows? they shift 69cfm and look pretty good?

of course if you want super maximum airflow, you know what to say :P

haha lol,

oh you may need dust filters too!, my filters catch loads of dust, wouldn't want it insulting all those components

yeh the new akasa ones seem pretty good, no bits of platic all over the place stopping airflow

I was originally just go with all out sickleflows, as can put 120's in the top if needed, cause think they do look pretty nice and half the price of vipers, just tempted for tge massive cfm of vipers, although would have to put up with the yellow shame the akasa Apaches arnt as powerful. Will add up a few prices and see what I reakon is best.

[Wozza365]

the apaches will be the same airflow at low speeds its just that they are capped at a lower speed, they still shift a tonne of air, but then you might as well get the full load for the same price and just put up with the yellow, you could even do what tom has done and kitted it out completely with yellow vipers haha

[truegrace]

It's the price of vipers/apaches that put me off, as can almost get 3 sickleflows for the same price, and the Scythe Kaze Jyuni fans shift just as much air, are almost half the price and are not yellow
Just tempted with the rave reviews from the likes of yourself wozza

[Wozza365]

yes but they make a god dam lot of noise to get that much airflow, 37dB for the best version, the vipers are 26dB and these are already very loud indeed, i imagine these are probably just below the sound of my graphics card fans and they are almost deafening at full speed

plus its not a 3rd of the price, they are stil £10.50 for the 12cm when the viper is £12, plus i think the yellow is awesome :P
