 But that's why they implemented this fan scaling so you won't have the issue of running these if you already have a Corsair RGB fan kit set up. So for schnitz in giggles, we slapped on these two QLs to see if we could get some performance improvements as far as temperature performance on our custom water cooled RTX 2070 running on a 120 millimeter AIO. Now our old temperatures using a pevias after a 45 minute stress test were just at 57 degrees Celsius at 98% load. With QLs after 45 minutes in the same load, we have settled right at 51 degrees Celsius

 Then the RGB controller has to plug into SATA and your motherboard and right out of the gate that might not sound like much, but once you get this all plugged in and all those fans are running to different locations, just be ready to organize and zip tie away all that extra wiring. Second downside would have to be compatibility. These lights won't be compatible with other lighting softwares. For instance, the Asus Aura

 So all this RGB goodness and performance, but what are the downsides? First off is the cabling. Each fan has two independent wires that must be plugged in. Then the RGB controller has to plug into SATA and your motherboard and right out of the gate that might not sound like much, but once you get this all plugged in and all those fans are running to different locations, just be ready to organize and zip tie away all that extra wiring.

[Case] *RESTOCK* Lian Li Lancool II Mesh - Black - both RGB and Performance models - $89.99 ($99.99 - $10 after promo code BACK23AX (YMMV), + FREE shipping)

 The noise level is good but no better than many other fans I have used. The only place these fans really stand out is the number of LEDs. In my opinion they might have overreached and to my eyes it's distracting. The diffusion is terrible

 These have plain hydraulic bearings. That's not a bad thing, but hydraulic bearings are not rare or expensive. The noise level is good but no better than many other fans I have used. The only place these fans really stand out is the number of LEDs

Over priced and over rated

I had posted this to PCMR, but figured I'd post it here too if it can help anyone.

I've got a new build going on and wanted to get the best fans I could for my case and radiator. As well as just get up to date on the best fans in 2020 / 2021. I'm looking for the best performing/quietest fan out there. Noctua's really known for this which is why they're so popular. The problem is that there's so many fans to chose from and so much information out there.

There's also some decent misinformation too. Like some of Noctua's older fan designs like the NF-S12A don't really hold up anymore. Yet they're still so expensive and the poopy brown color still exists.

&amp;#x200B;

So, here's what I've found:

\*Again, this is the most powerful fan that is ALSO the quietest it can be. Also not looking at RGB fans here.

\- In general, it seems having static pressure is always better. There's lots of obstructions in PC cases, from grills, to cages, mesh, radiators, etc... It also seems that the air that gets heated up in your case also makes airflow fans and static pressure fans perform worse. But airflow fans usefulness degrades much faster. This means that airflow fans which perform better unobstructed could perform worse than static pressure fans when heat gets into the mix, even without obstructions. (There's a post here from buildapc linked down below that goes into some math)

\- The Noctua NF-12x25 PWM is the best fan you can buy right now (Whether using it as a radiator fan or case fan). But it's pricey.

\- The Arctic P12 &amp; P14 are the best overall fans. That includes price to performance. Honestly, these things are so evenly matched to the NF-12x25 it's hard to recommend the Noctua's considering the Arctic's are insanely cheaper. Getting down to $7-$10 a fan. If you're doing a huge build with 10 fans that's the difference of $300 or $70-$100 for basically the same performance. That's if you can find any to buy now anyways.

\- The Thermaltake Toughfan 12 is a blatant rip off of the NF-12x25 but it really matches the performance and comes in black, and it's a bit cheaper. But Thermaltake's kinda a crappy company.

\- The NF-12x25/P12/P14/Toughfan 12 perform so well on a radiator that they're even slightly better than or compare to something like a Noctua AF-A14 which is a 140mm fan.

\- There's also some other good fan contenders out there from Deepcool/Nidec but I'd avoid companies like Corsair/BeQuiet/Silverstone (Unless you have other plans, like aesthetics). Honestly with the Arctic P12/P14 and Noctua NF-12x25 you're pretty set.

\- In extreme cases/niche use cases you could probably see quite a big difference in temperatures from really bad fans to the best ones. But you can very easily see 3x cash savings getting something like the Arctic P12 over the NF-12x25 and see barely any performance differences.

\- Some people like to make a stink about the "type" of noise fans make, not just the loudness of the noise. And it's true some have more of a mechanical whine to them, or a higher pitch. But the Artic P12 and NF-12x25 seem like they don't suffer from that.

&amp;#x200B;

TLDR:

\- NF-12x25 is the best performing/quietest fan. Even vs many 140mm fans. But it's pricey.

\- Arctic P12 &amp; P14 are the best overall fans. It can get as cheap as 7 bucks and has basically all the performance of the NF-12x25. These also compete against many 140mm fans.

- There seems to be a decent hum for the Arctic fans at certain RPM&#39;s which can be a bit annoying. Not really a deal breaker but definitely something to consider and listen to for yourself.

Beautiful fans, until they fail

As someone who is now building a fully new PC after 6 1/2 years (and purchased a Phanteks Enthoo Evolv case 2 years after building), what made you choose your current PC case?  
Personally, I am looking at an Lian Li Lancool 2 Performance model for my next build, however, I’ve only exclusively looked for airflow. What made you choose your case for a new build?

Why did you choose your PC case?

 As far as noise and efficiency they also get top marks as well. They can get up to some astounding speeds, and while maybe not silent at 100% they are far from the loudest I've used. But you won't need them at 100% often. They have a really good efficiency and move air very well

Beautiful But Expensive
