Case fans are driving me nuts. I insist on looks to go with performance. Hard combo to find. I thought I had it with some Enermax fans that really move a lot of air quietly but now I'm getting bearing noise from them.

Case fans are nothing compared with CPU and gpu fans. You can undervolting case fans and make tem whisper quiet.

We can do that. I think I'm at about 22k graphics score on 3DMark11 basic settings. Like 17k overall but I think I can push a little more.

I know I can't reach that with 1 but it is a fight! My goal is to hit 14k composite.

Coyote I might could use those 140s if you think they are quieter that the cooler master led 140s I have now. I'm getting more and more noise conscious as I go along. I tend to want to run the lowest speed on my fan controller nowadays.

Yea I can ship them out to you. They are awesome fans and I am using them in my build, just not the 140s.

They look sweet also. Lol

That'd be awesome. I can throw some of my fans in to the next benchmark competition. I'm starting to go away from the LEDs anyway. I'm moving to a new place and am gonna be using my pc in the living room kind of as a htpc. It would be good to get rid of the LEDs because they get kind of bright in a dark room.

I did this with some Scythe Ultra Kazes. Helped a ton. Those fans would cut your hand off if you ran them full power

You sure you cant fit a 360mm in a phantom?

Is it the full tower or mid tower?

Gardoki do you have an r4? Want a couple of these blue led cooler master 140s? They're not real fancy but they move air and cast a good bit of light.

Funny, I'm old and I like led lights. I tend to go with white though to offset the other colors in the case.

Again they're not gonna blow you away but they look and work pretty good for 10 dollar fans.

Sure would look nice in my white fractal case. Maybe I will get some of those bitfenix led strips that I can unplug easily for when I want them off.

Wire em up yourself man. I made 3 arrays for my old case that I had hooked up to a small dimmer I put back by my psu. I just put some small round led holders in, wired the leds in and popped them into the holders.

ETA: it isn't cost effective but you get it just how you want.
