Corsair SP120 is pretty good me thinks..
Or you can just oil your fan the bearings, like me... But after a few weeks or so the fan will vibrate like crazy, like mine atm, LOL
Luckily changing soon heh

The one that the Hyper 212+ uses, the BladeMaster is actually one of CM's better fans.
You can buy another BladeMaster, or use one of Corsair's SP range fans.
Yate Loon is also a good choice.

Same. Of course the performance as well.

Performance is almost the same as stock fan from Cooler Master Evo 212.

Noise is significantly better as expected. I can't hear anything other than my aircon noise. It is kinda pricey but I think its worth it especially if you can take advantage of those custom rings.

I think Led is only for AF model..

Any pros can share their experience w these fans ?

I need help with choices of fans..

For radiator SP(Quiet/Performance?)

Exhaust AF(Quiet/Performance?)

Intake SP(Quiet/Performance?)

Rad - performance, as it has higher static pressure. Good for rads. The quiet ver has very low static and yet low CFM. Useless though.

Exhaust - Either quiet or perf can be used. If u r sensitive to sound, choose quiet. If you are ok with some low noise, then performance.

Intake - Depends. If there is no blockage at the output or any restrictions at the intake of the fan, then AF quiet/perf. If there are any restrictions in either or both sides, then SP perf.

IMO, 2 cents.

Is filter considered as? My case is NZXT P410.. and some blockage like HDD.

Filter plays a small part. If there is a hdd cage just after ur fan, then SP is better.
