I am shopping for 3 new intake fans for the front of my Corsair Air 540 to cool my 780's in SLI. I have been using some NZXT 120mm fans i had laying around and they just dont provide enough Air Flow. I would like the fans to be very high air flow. I will control them with my NZXT Sentry Mix 2 so the fan cant require more than 30 watts each. My PC is behind my desk so noise isnt a big concern but if it does get loud I can always adjust the speed. I would like to stay close to $10 a piece/ $15 max.
I was about to by 3 of these Sanyo Denki fans until I read they require 36 Watts each but something similar is ideal. Thanks In advance.
If you want lots of air and want it cheap Yate Loon. If you don't mind spending a little more go with EK Vardars they have some of the best performance of any fan around.
I use EK Vardars on my radiator.. never had them past 30% (1850 rpm variant) and they move a ton of air... i'd imagine that at 50-60% you'd have more airflow than you ever needed lol
Just thought I would mention The NZXT armory, they have some decent fans like this one I would have mentioned the air flow from corsair, but those are $20 fans as well. as a matter of fact, I cant find any 100CFM fans that are less than $19 What you might do is get some lower CFM fans to blow on your GPUs and use a single massive CFM Exhaust fan.
Holy crapola! Those fans spin at around 7k rpms and make more than 66db of noise! Those would be the awesome shit if you were building a jet engine themed case.
Delta fans are quite possibly the loudest but the best built airflow fans you can buy. They use those in server rack farms to keep loads of high-speed mechanical SCSI storage devices cool.
They indeed are some of the, if not the best built fans around. Racks and computers at work that have been running since the ancient times (10 years if not more) and they're still running fine.
