120mm case fan for the front?

[flyerfox]

I have a pc case with 1 rear fan only, and I was thinking of adding 1 more intake in the front. Is the cm sickleflow a good choice?

Should also I have both intake and exhasut fans having the same flow? I only got space for 1 rear and front fan.

I wanted to buy a CM sickleflow last Saturday, think it was priced at $25, then I saw another CM fan with led, priced at $12. In the end bought the $12 and was very pleased with it, good airflow, quite quiet. I can't remember which shop I bought it from but it's on the upper floors, facing the front, and there is a rack full of fans outside.

If CM fans are quiet for you, then Noctua fans must be voodoo silent magic for you

The stock 120mm fan in my cm case is quite silent leh.. How about the corsair af120 then?

hijack abit, until now i'm still puzzled with getting static pressure fans or airflow fans for front intake. my current stock fans for intake, can feel the air moving past the hdd cage but when it reaches graphic card area, there's no more moving air. izzit normal?

It's not that I find it super quiet or anything, just that I have much higher ambient noise than normal, mostly due to an aquarium chiller located just behind me

Hahah I bought the red LED one too!

Spec wise, it was slightly inferior to the sickleflow, but considering it was half the price, hoot lah!

Will go home tonight and check the model for you.

120mm among all the fans that have researched.

Sickleflow and Xtra flow fans are the noisier mainstream fan.

If you are looking for static and quiet fan, Sharkoon Blades are the best you can find.

If you are looking for good air flow type, go for 140mm. They can do very well in briniging more air.

If you worry about the noise your pc produces, bring it far away from the sound system and monitor. Build a barrier around it. My perfect example of pc isolation is under my bed

Opps I made a mistake. The one that I saw for $25 was the Cooler Master Jetflo. The one that I bought for $12 was the Cooler Master Sickleflow X.

Sharkoon blade for HDD cage penetration. Very good static.

Speaking of fans, what are your opinions of those industrial grade case fans(ie. Sanace, Sunon)?
