4 yate loons or 2 pricier fans?

[AliG]

hey guys,

I just wanted to know, would I be better off with 2 say thermaltake smart fans (yes I know, they are loud at max setting, but I leave mine at a silent setting and still it pushes more air than my stock antec fans at full) or silverstone screamers volt modded or 4 yate loon d12sh (how much air do those push when volt modded? I prefer buying powerful fans and volt modding them rather than quiet ones as you tend to get more cfm for a similar dba level imo that way)

I have an antec p180b and am simply replacing the crappy stock fans and putting some in the front etc, so any thoughts?


thanks in advance:)

if you buy 4 yates you get an awesome discount from petras

just grab 4 with a fan controller, youll be using them forever.

ok, but I'm getting them from jabtech, as much as I love petras, jabtech's a bit cheaper (I can get 4 120mm and 1 80mm shipped form jabtech for $21.88;))

Just one question, how much air do they push at quiet levels? Because if they don't push that much at quiet levels, I'll just stick with more tt and silverstone fans

If buying from jabtech MAKE SURE AND GET CLOSED CORNER. The open corner make a whine that is audible at low speeds(there was a discussion about this a while back and can't remeber the specific outcome and I didi buy the open corner and confirm that I did hear a whine.) I have my whole computer decked out in yates with the sunbeam fan controller. I grapple with its inadequate cooling at low speed versus its utter silence. I should state that it is OK at low, but don't expect tons of air and pressure.

If silence is more of a concern that air pressure/flow get the yates.

Jab's Yates are not the same as Petra's Yates.

it says closed, I assume its the right one

how about volt modding a delta fan? How much air do those push when they're at quiet levels (I care a lot about silence, but I don't want to spend money on fans for my case that won't move any air since the whole point is to move the air from the intake out the back of the case, not just let it sit there)
