Corsair H60

[tp4tissue]

do you guys use speed fan? with it, fans are inaudible and only kick on when i'm at full load doing crunching, otherwise it's speedstep'd down a lot.

I'd rather just adjust it myself if I need to.  My gpu fan is on auto usually though.  And "inaudible" has way too many factors.  Headphones on/off(even type of headphones), position/distance from computer, sensitivity of person's ears, etc.  I think it's more you just don't notice it than it being "inaudible".

My downstairs computer is open chassis.

only 4 fans    all 120mm   top exhast, gpu, cpu, psu

That's it.. just 4.. all runnin ~ 600rpm.. Ultra silent.. can't hear unless i'm < 1m away

I think I'm going to go with the evo. Do you guys think the fan they give you is good enough or should I get a different one

[nubbinator]

The fan is okay.  If you're willing to spend more money on an different fan, just spend the extra money on a Thermalright Macho, Thermalright True Spirit 140, or Phanteks TC12DX.

I can only find some on ebay. It seems no where else selling those fans.

There's a reason for that.. It's super good and goes out of stock

I have been looking for used one for the past years, but seems like they are just too good and no one willing to sell them )

Ehh, they're ok.  There are tons of other excellent options out there, some cheaper, some quieter, some better.  It doesn't help that Scythe is no longer selling them.  If you stumble across a Nidec Servo, it's the OEM.

xactly.. 

The KEY thing to Cooling is PRESSURE..   cfm rating is not as important as the amount of pressure..

because pressure is ultimately what will move warm air..  CFM rating means nothing.. manufacturers can literally put anything they want on the box..

that's right, that's why I have corsair so fans for my pc.
they are fine, but I want something better

i don't like the recent corsairs, because they've gone all ball bearing....

If i had water cooling.. I'd be fine with BB..  but... since I've gone full-Air... I've stuck with sleeve bearing since longevity is not an issue for my Low RPM setup..

[paulen]

ture that, but I mean I bought they just because them are high c/p fans

CFM and SP can be arbitrary.  And you need to balance the SP and CFM based on your radiator.  You should have at least 1mmHg2 for most radiators, but some will require a higher CFM for best performance, others require higher SP and can get away with a 40CFM fan.  From what I remember, the H60 is a lower FPI rad that does better with a higher CFM fan with a decent SP than a fan with higher SP and mediocre CFM.

What size do you need?  Thermalright, Noctua, and BeQuiet! all make fantastic performing and also quiet fans.  CoolJag Everflows (certain models) are quite good for the money as well.

I am looking for two 12cm fans with led blue or white. Any recommendation?

Nope.  I've never seen a good LED fan.  They're all crap.

I'd rather just get the noctua, much quieter by the looks of it.

My wanting the H220x is personal preference really and it seems like a good performer even if its a bit louder. I plan to get the Corsair 760T case when I upgrade and a H220x would look much nicer in it especially with its ability to be expanded. I don't want to jump into custom water cooling loops just yet and the H220x would be a good first step before that.

I don't know if I would consider 10db to be a "bit" louder.  Iirc a 10db difference is said to be twice as loud.  But as you said its personal preference and I'm not trying to persuade you in your choice.

Yeah, but its also at max fan which I doubt I'd be running at. And I usually wear a noise cancelling headset when I'm using my PC so not too worried about the sound
