[DIY] Gentle Typhoons

[alvintan89]

Hi,

Anyone know what happen to the GTs? Can't seem to find them anywhere.

I guess its time to replace all my case fans inside the 750D. Some of the Corsair fans starting to have noise..

What a waste...

Any recommendations that are equivalent to GTs other than Noctua?

I find Corsair fan blades too soft..

I need 3x 140mm and 2x 120mm

I saw quite a few posts on OCN about this coolerguys website selling OEM version of GT, minus scythe's packaging + accessories. 19.95 USD w/o shipping yet.
GentleTyphoon 120mm Silent Case Fan Series D1225C12B 800, 1450, 1150, 1850 and 4250 RPM

Taobao also got sell, OEM version too, with sleeves. Not sure fake or not, 120 RMB w/o shipping.

If no choice then buy EK Vardar. There are reviews on OCN, performance similar to GT. € 12.25 w/o shipping.

Agreed with Vardar but they're rather pricey, might as well get corsair. Maybe try taobao? Get those with higher ranking sellers might help.

The EK fan looks good with the sleeves!

How about 140mm? Taobao is in chinese, very hard to read...

The keyword is GT1850, like I said, not sure fake or not, but the buyers' reviews seems ok. I wanted to buy this @ 90RMB, but missed the promotion, now back to 120RMB, difference of $6SGD.

Not sure if GT have 140mm version, but EK definitely gonna release the Vardar 140mm somewhere between mid Jan and mid Feb 2015 (saw on OCN again).

There are more fans(Phanteks PH-F140HP/TS) in this article you might want to consider, although the article is old, but still relevant.
