Quietest Pressure-Optimised 120mm PC Fans?

Brotality on 26/03/2022 - 08:50

Greetings and Salutations!

I'm looking for a new set of fans (5 or 6) for my build and I'm hoping to get some real world impressions.

Build overview:

  • Corsair 280X Case
  • Ryzen 2700X on a 240mm RAD
  • 5700XT

The RAD is top mounted with the exhaust fans (I care about GPU temps more), and all other fans are intake for positive air pressure.

I currently have a 5 x RGB upHere fans that are noticeable at idle and annoying under load. One of them started buzzing so they all have to go now.

Budget is $60-120. Preferably white fans to match the case and wouldn't mind RGB (have headers for 12v and addressable 5v on B450 AORUS M). I'm currently considering these which seem to be a good deal.

All recommendations, opinions and ideas are welcome!

    The Arctic P12 PWM PST is the best alround fan and value for dollar.

    It keeps up with the Noctua A12x25 but for a 3rd of the price.

    Arctic also make a white version.

    GL, there are so many fans out there.

      Got a couple of these last year they seem pretty good.

      Arctic also make a white version.

      I’m always wary of buying white or translucent plastic as some yellow with time and you can never tell which product will yellow and which won’t. Probably good for a few years at least, but worth thinking about.

    If I could choose my radiator fans again or buy more case fans I'd definitely go with bequiet ones. I've used the arctic p12s and got rid of them due to the horrible whine they make. Currently have Noctua NF-P12 Redux which are just average and not worth the money at all.
