At the moment I'm using (3x) 120mm AK-183-L2B Akasa Amber Case Fan, but it isn't adequately cooling the NB or MB as much as I would like; my Sharkoon seated on the Thermalright must be sucking all the air being pushed in before my side fans get a chance to cool the MB because of the CFM imbalance.
The Sharkoon is 2000 RPM 76.3 CFM where-as the Akasa is 1400 RPM 44.8 CFM.
I am using 7 Yate Loon D12SL in my Antec P180B. 5 D12SL for the Case, 2 for my TR U120E and 1 for my HR-03+.
Before I used Revoltec DarkBlue and Xilence(don`t know model anymore) fans and in my opinion, the Yate Loon D12SL are the best u can get for the money.
The Scythe S-Flex (1200,800) should be very good from what I read, but they are much costlier.
I`m using 2 Zalman fan controls and can sleep while having all 7 fans at 100% ~1250rpm for prime over night for example.
When I`m downloading over night, I put them at 5V and my pc is almost absolutly quiet.
