1367658 2014-02-15 06:05:00 Could someone recommend some good 120mm PWM 4 pin 4 wire case fans.
By good, I mean, move a decent volume of air without too much noise or glowing lights.
I have been studying reviews on the net but they tend to vary in their results.
Some of the Noiseblocker & Scythe models seem to be favoured.

1367659 2014-02-15 21:01:00 Will it be connected to a 4 pin header on the mobo?? No point getting one if the mobo has a 3 pin header on it Speedy Gonzales (78)
1367660 2014-02-15 21:09:00 Yes, Asus P8Z77-V
Looking at 2-3 case fans & a CPU cooler

1367661 2014-02-17 02:03:00 PWM fans are in limited supply in NZ. Ascent carries a good selection, but most are out-of-stock.

The exception is Sycthe, in your size and PWM.

The others I never heard of.

1367662 2014-02-17 02:07:00 Or just use 3 pin fans, still do the job. dugimodo (138)
1367663 2014-02-17 03:27:00 Ahh, so they are in short supply.
Any idea why?
That one at ascent hasn't got quite enough puff.
Would have to keep up with the CPU Cooler.

Yes, could use 3 pin ones, but would they do the same job?

1367664 2014-02-17 17:42:00 Yep, the speed control is not quite as efficient or accurate but it still works and you can plug them into 4 pin headers.
4 pin is better but the difference for a case fan is not something I'd worry about.
