    Good 120mm fans?

    I'm looking to replace the single 120mm evercool fan in my watercoolnig system with a dual shroud and fan system. I need fans that will flow better than the evercool, but are either as loud, or quieter than the current fan is right now. Any suggestions?

    Sunon makes good high output fans. But I would recomend any 120x38MM highspeed deltas and run them 7 volt. around 100CFM of air and pretty damn quiet.

    Check out the Vantec stealth fans as well. Dead silent, as well as pushing a bunch of air.

    The air flow isn't really much on those.

    My YS-Tech 120x120x38mm does 125 CFM at about 40 dBa, so it sounds very reasonable at 7V and does move a lot of air still.
