Basically a generic fan. You could do better buying the arctic f12 pwm 5 pack for a bit more, you get better acoustics and PWM functionality.

u/EddyScanlan · 7 pointsr/buildapcsales

Difference between P series (the fans posted) and F series, which are $1 cheaper:

Paired with https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811984012

They're decent fans (quiet, move air, but they're not HOLYSHITTHEBEST), and the white will reflect the RGB from the halos. Plus it's all controllable via Asus/MSI/Gigabyte/Asrock's RGB control on the motherboard (or via a Phanteks' case).

These fans are pretty good.

Basically positive and negative pressure means is more air entering or leaving the case, and the best solution varies case to case, but fans in the front as intake, and fans in the back as exhaust are a tried and true impossible to fuck up solution to airflow.

u/Keeloi79 · 3 pointsr/HomeServer

I don't know where this info is coming from. From what I recall there were settings for Fan Control like: Standard, Heavy IO, Optimal. I use these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NTUJTAK/ as case fans and Dynatron Heatsink/Fans with X9/10 boards in standard ATX cases and have no problems. The case fans can go down to 5-600RPM but hovered around 1000 when I just left the settings in IPMI set to "Optimal". The command-line tool "IPMItool" will allow you to set a lower "alert" RPM speed if the hard coded amount either 800 or 900 RPM is too high and causes fan flapping.

u/Zn2Plus · 3 pointsr/gpumining

PWM fan with PST feature.

PWM = "pulse-width modulator"; PST = "PWM sharing technology"

That "sharing technology" allows you to daisy-chain 3-5 fans together.

example: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NTUJTAK

u/recklessbaboon · 3 pointsr/hardwareswap

at these price points, you might as well buy new, since shipping isnt really worth it for most.

212 evo is $25

deepcool gammaxx 400 is $15 and performs same as 212 evo.

and for fans you can get a 5 pack of arctic f12 pwm fans for $21

I'd probably spend the extra $49 to up the RAM to 16GB (faster ones too).

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/T9Gj4D/gskill-memory-f43200c16d16gvk

Solid mid-range gaming build with a Ryzen quad-core (4 cores, 8 threads), decent motherboard with a lot of features for the price, 8GB of RAM, 256GB SSD (I did not include a 1TB HDD, but budget another $40 or so if you need extra storage), GTX 1050 Ti 4GB will easily max out the games on your list, modular power supply, and a nice Deepcool case.

Also, thinking about the case I would probably recommend getting two 120mm fans to mount in front (the Deepcase Dukase v2 only has one rear exhaust fan), and perhaps two 120mm on top. This Arctic F12 PWM pack would be perfect.

https://www.amazon.com/F12-PWM-PST-Value-pack/dp/B00NTUJTAK

Edit- made a change to the keyboard so it would match your mouse color scheme (black/blue).

u/[deleted] · 3 pointsr/buildapc

Running parts like that in a case that small is gonna get hot. Looks like the case includes a front and back fan, with additional support for:

  • 1 120mm fan at the bottom
  • 2 120mm/140mm fan at the top
  • 1 120mm/140mm fan at the front (1 140mm fan included in the other front slot)

    If it were me and silence was the absolute goal, I'd add some relatively quiet case fans in every slot and follow manufacturer's recommended airflow directions. You don't have to ball out and get Noctua or anything, just something that moves some air around.

    I found these on Amazon UK, just under 20 pound for a 5 pack. They are very quiet, have a good bearing, and should move enough air.

    I use those same fans in one of my builds, but I'm not affiliated with the company, distributor, etc.

    I think you're right on the money for the specs. I work in 3D modeling, engineering, and fluid dynamics simulation, and I have similar specs on my work PC.
u/Computerknight54 · 3 pointsr/buildapc

That computer has Cyberpower version MasterBox 5 case which supports 120mm fans in all mounts or 2x 140 in the front. http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/masterbox-5-black/

> I don't have a budget for case fans so I would like to purchase the best most reliable ones

Noctua but you're paying a lot for them.

Basically you want fans that are not sleeve bearing as those die fast. Ones with Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) should last a long time, like these arctic ones https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-F12-PWM-PWM-Signal-Configuration/dp/B00NTUJTAK?th=1

You can also look into anything Noctua or Corsair's ML series of fans.

u/iaacp · 3 pointsr/buildapcsales

I JUST installed a pack of 5 of these:http://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-F12-PWM-PST-Controlled/dp/B00NTUJTAK?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

I went from having 3 default Corsair case fans + 1 fan on my Hyper 212 to having 7 case fans + 2 on my Hyper 212. The computer is noticeably louder, but not quite an annoyance, since adding many more fans. Should I exchange my Arctic ones for some of these sale ones? Mine don't seem too bad, and they can be jury rigged together which is kind of nice - I have them all on PWM.

u/__PETTYOFFICER117__ · 3 pointsr/buildapcsales

These are PWM, 5 for $24 on Amazon. Quieter and move more air than the fans in the OP. Had them for a while, great fans.

u/VVrest · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Thermalright's TY-127s fill every checkmark on your list. Great fan by a great manufacturer. I think they are only available in Europe though.

Phantek also has some good black/white ones as well. Also could be worth checking out gentle typhoons though I think those are gray rather than white.

If you're want something a bit cheaper you can actually get a five pack black/white arctic f12s which are pwm. Amazing value here.. They are legit good fans.

u/poblopuablo · 2 pointsr/buildapcsales

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NTUJTAK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517508811&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=Arctic+120mm+silent+fan+5&dpPl=1&dpID=516qu1fEqXL&ref=plSrch

This is a 5 pack of pretty cheap fans they're actually only $25 so that's five bucks a fan you can't get much better than that for decent pwm fans low-noise and decent static pressure which would be good for the front of the case because it's pretty restrictive. :)

u/scy1192 · 2 pointsr/Amd

are fans that expensive really worth it? I got 5 of these for $25 and they're strapped to my 212 Evo heatsink

u/Netblock · 2 pointsr/buildapc

If you get the Ryzen 2600X, you wouldn't need a cooler, as it comes with a decent one (if you plan to overclock it would do you good to get an aftermarket). That intel 9600K doesn't come with one, so something like the Hyper 212 Evo would be a safe bet.

​

If you want to get fans, I have and recommend the Arctic F12. They're really good mid-grade fans. Quiet too.

u/cf18 · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Each PST fan let you add an additional fan, up to 4 more.

Or get this deal with 5 PST fans.

These are pretty good value, but unfortunately not on sale. I can't speak for their volume though. Non-PWM version is even cheaper.

u/JDM_WAAAT · 2 pointsr/buildapcsales

It's a great choice. I'd argue it's just about the best case you can get for under $45 - $50.

You might need to add some fans though, in that case I'd suggest a 5 pack of PWM 120mm Arctic fans from Amazon for $21 + tax. https://www.amazon.com/F12-PWM-PST-Value-pack/dp/B00NTUJTAK

u/Bcron · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

You can get a 5 pack of Arctic F12 PWM PST case fans for 25 bucks and shave a lot of money off the build. I use them and love them. Fits the white theme too.

Here's 2-3 quick builds. One air cooler which you could pick a different cooler and different fans if you wanted. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Wwqsw6

You could also go much lower by just picking some artic cooling pwm fans a 5 back of 120 is only like 25 bucks and just throw a 212 or similar cpu cooler in there. https://smile.amazon.com/ARCTIC-F12-PWM-PST-Technology/dp/B00NTUJTAK/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=artic+cooling+5+pack&qid=1559235349&s=gateway&sr=8-2

And one with an AIO https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bWrHXP that keeps the original fan and just adds one top fan.

I also have no idea how many PWM headers or AIO headers your MB has so you might need PWM splitters. The artics daisy chain last time i checked so you don't need them for that.

u/mattinm · 2 pointsr/hardwareswap

I've got both those (3-pin) and the PWM variant in rigs and I absolutely love them. Arctic list their exact PWM to RPM curves at various voltages on the product page on their website. Very quiet up to 1000 RPM and then pick up more of a whooshing sound all the way to the full RPM.

One nice feature of the PWM fan is that you can daisy chain multiple ones together on the same header, no need for a splitter cable.

    The build above is more expensive than I would spend for a home media server, but everyone has a different budget. You might want to consider alternatives to some parts that are just as good, but cheaper. For example, do you really need those noctua 120mm fans? You can get a 5 pack of Arctic fans for $27 and do just as good a job cooling. There are other things you could do without or find cheaper alternatives for. Below are a couple of things that jumped out at me:

    I'm not sure about the 10 gb ethernet adapters. I get your desire to link your PC, but check to see what other bottlenecks you have and if the 10 gb adapters will do anything (e.g. hard drive / ssd read and write speeds).

    While we are talking storage, I always try to challenge peoples assumptions that they need RAID. RAID is not a backup solution. RAID is about up-time. RAID is not easy to expand. For media storage you might be better off using a pooling solution like mergerfs or stablebit drivepool.

    Is the ethernet cable going outside? If not, then you don't need the direct burial / waterproof cable.

    The netgear switch seems unnecessary if you only have two devices with 10gbe and you can connect them directly.

    The rosewill drive cages are nice, but if you don't need hot swap you can save ~$80 by switching to Norco 5 x 3.5" HDD Hard Drive Cage.
u/periodic_insanity · 2 pointsr/buildapcsales

if you are on a budget consider some arctic f12 pwm fans in a 5 pack, you will be able to fully fill out this case and they are very quiet when controlled. Those fans are excellent bang for buck with fluid bearings that should last a while as well. Pay as much for this pack as much as you pack for one noctua fan...

u/Dougdoesnt · 1 pointr/buildapc

My current fan configuration in my Air 240 is 2 120mm fans as intakes in front of the GPU, one 120mm on the opposite side of the case as an intake, and my H100i with included 120mm fans in pull config exhausting out the front. The two fans by the GPU are currently being controlled by the H100i pump along with the rad fans. The H100i pump fan connector is connected to the CHA_FAN header on my mobo (ASUS P8Z77i-DELUXE) and the lone 120mm is connected to the CPU_FAN header.

The only PWM fans are the two on the rad. I would like to change this. I am considering buying this fan controller:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IF6R4C8/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3GO5VFCNOM5I7

And this 5 pack of PWM fans by Arctic:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NTUJTAK/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2T6N244WTLWGU

I was only going to buy 3 fans at first and wait for a deal on some high quality SP fans to upgrade the H100i, but this 5 pack is cheaper than buying 3 fans individually. Would these fans work better or worse than the stock fans on an H100i? Could I run the rad fans off of the new controller or should I keep them on the pump block?

Thanks for any tips :)

u/TF1357 · 1 pointr/buildapc

My fans do not change speed. Here is my system: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nC8Xr7

Here are my fans: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NTUJTAK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

The bios has options for silent mode, regular, high speed, etc. The fans will change depending on what setting I pick. But, the fans are supposed to adjust based on CPU temperature, and they do not do that.

​

My ideas are either the fans are not true pwm, or that it is reading the CPU package temp on the mobo, which is always pretty low. Any ideas/other software I could try?

u/olov244 · 1 pointr/buildapc

any of them would work it really depends on the fans you're getting and how much they cost

I'd get a 5 pack of something like https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NTUJTAK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and put three 120's in the front, one up top, one in the back

u/lukeM22 · 1 pointr/hardwareswap

How many fans are you looking for? I have the following (all 120mm) :

2x AF120 white LED (3 pin)

2x Noctua NF-F12 (4 pin)

3x Arctic F12 (4 pin)- have PST adapters which I find really convenient.

  1. Hey guys planning on upgrading my fans for my case, is this a good deal and/or reputable fans? Would like all noctuas but im just not rich enough sadly lol. my current cpu case is the nzxt source 530 also, been using for about 4 years and i clean it monthly but the ambient temps are starting to go up https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00NTUJTAK/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1
  2. I'm thinking of parts for my next rig, currently waiting on zen 3, any good board recommendations? I've read that the bf450 tomahawk is good and the msi am4 carbon gaming mobo is good too, should I just wait in case new boards get launched? Trying to snag some deals

    ​
u/Fierce_Lito · 1 pointr/buildapcforme

That is a solid build, but since he specifically wants a white theme, I highly recommend this case fan 3 pack, all three fans for $27 on amazon, I've been using these for builds for myself, and recommending them since this price is just too good to pass up.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NTUJTAK/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_8?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NTUJTAK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used some in a recent build, and they work quite well. I even replaced the phantek stock fans with them.

u/pxlnght · 1 pointr/buildapc

What sort of fans can I find that are black and don't suck? I love Noctua fans, but with a tempered glass case on the way I don't want to reuse my poo fans. Hopefully the price is less than Noctua as well. Thanks!

Edit: Found these Arctic fans on my own. I'm going to get them and try em out. If I don't like them, I'll grab some Noctua Chromax fans. Thanks lads!

u/entrapped_ · 1 pointr/buildapc

If you're willing to spend $20 more you can get a Ryzen 5 2600, and for $7 more you can get these fans that come in a pack of 5 for cooling

u/PseudoCommet · 1 pointr/buildapc

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Ld8ZMZ

No cooler needed if you are not going to overclock like crazy.

Better PSU, cheaper RAM.
Better SSD (new QLC technology)

If you want a bunch of fans, get these ones. Much cheaper overall.

u/LoneKrafayis · 1 pointr/buildmeapc

> AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor

You could get the Ryzen 5 3600. It has 75% of the cores, but costs about 60%. It will give similar performance in high-resolution gaming.

> MSI MPG X570 GAMING PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard

That is a fine choice. You could save money by buying a B450 motherboard (MSI MAX has new BIOS). You could also wait until January, when we expect new releases. These releases will include a B550 chip set and the motherboards that would go with them.

> hence the ultrawide 1440p display

I did not find that monitor because it is curved. I have not found that curved monitors work well. They catch the glare in the room, at every angle.

> Corsair RM (2019) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

Good power supply. You do not need that much power.

> quietness [...] be quiet! SilentWings 3 pwm 59.5 CFM 140 mm Fan

A ok choice, but not optimized. All fans are quiet when they are slow. The trick is being quiet at high speeds. I would move up to NF-A12x25 PWM, or step down to multi-pack fans from ARCTIC.


The Noctua A12x25 fan costs 50% more money then other fans because it moves 50% more air at the same noise levels. The new high-tech plastic blades have tight tip clearance, the fan bearings are quiet, and they have a circuit to smooth the PWM signals to the motor.

> Phanteks Evolv X ATX Mid Tower Case

It is hard to know what is the right choice for other people. I have a short list of cases that I recommend. Almost none of them come with fans, but that might be a coincidence.

  • In Win 303 (ATX)
  • In Win 301 (micro-ATX)
  • Fractal Design Focus G Mini (micro-ATX, comes with fans)
  • Ncase M1 (mini-ITX)
  • Silverstone SG13 (mini-ITX)

    > Noctua NH-D15 CHROMAX.BLACK 82.52 CFM CPU Cooler

    I would move to the 120mm fan versions. If you want normal cooling, choose the Noctua NH-U12S. If you want extreme cooling and silence, get the Noctua NH-U12A. That will also let you get a normal-sized case and a almost any motherboard. (The height and width of the NH-D15 often force the video card out of the top slot.)

    > Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory

    If I was going to pay for Corsair premium memory, I would buy the "RGB Pro" versions. If I was not buying for looks, I would get G.skill memory (or whatever is cheap). I have Corsair for price, but it is not a RGB kit.

    It looks like your kit is not RGB, so nevermind
u/IsabellaQY · 1 pointr/buildapc

Is this 5-pack of 120mm fans good for getting good caseflow in a P400S or should I look for more static pressure oriented fans? Or something else?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NTUJTAK/?tag=pcpapi-20&th=1

u/mirox · 1 pointr/buildapc

If you're not concerned about noise, or RGB, but you care about price to value ratio, take advantage of the fact the 303 is a large enough size case.

Buy 4 fans for less than the price of the expensive fan someone reccomended.

These are fairly quiet, 38CFM fans.


If you want higher CFM fans, here's a value pack of 5 here.

You can get a few fan splitters here.


Note, not all fans have to be PWM controlled. For some fans, can just run fans on their default setting, or H/M/L and not plug them into the motherboard (just use sata/molex power).

I don't know what kind of cooling you really require, a case with 7 fans will have serious cooling regardless. In smaller form factors, this is where the more serious high performance fans are critical. There's a lot of breathing room in the 303.

u/ShiiftyShift · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

buy some arctic ones, they do the job and push a lot of air. you can get a 5 pack of them shipped for around £25. I used them personally and they do the job, but are a bit loud when you have all of them at full speed.

cpu: ryzen 5 3600, best price for performance gaming cpu

cpu cooler: stock cooler is just fine here (no reason to upgrade due to case used so noise shouldn't be a problem)

thermal paste: recommended for all ryzen 3000 series builds, requires removing the stock thermal paste from the cooler

memory: ddr4 3600mhz 16Gb 16 latency, about as good as it gets, anything better is a lot more expensive, ryzen 3000 series benefits from fast memory in gaming

storage: a better than mid-range m.2 1tb ssd, doesn't slow down when over 1/2 full

motherboard: I went with msi b450 gaming pro carbon a premium b450 full atx motherboard that has 8.1 audio, wifi, bluetooth, usb-c, and gigabit lan included. Is fully upgradeable to 3950x. Note: You might have to flash the bios to be ryzen 3000 compatible. This motherboard can be flashed without a cpu. By and large though because of the massive sell rate of AMD products in the last few months this is most likely not necessary (they are being sold with the bios updated now). This is a premium part choice, lower budget considerations are available, but with less features. This is a great motherboard.

videocard: the Amd rx 5700, a 1440p capable video card, can do 4k upscale with a 4k monitor in gaming, can be overclocked to 5700xt performance, here is a video series with the 5700. Although Red Dead Redemption 2 is an extremely demanding game (and poorly optimized currently) this gpu and cpu combo should produce 60+ frames at near ultra settings in 1440p. 1080p is probably your current monitor configuration though, and it should max ultra playable at that resolution.

power supply: a gold rated (very power efficient), 550 watts(plenty of watts), semi-modular (some cables detach for easy building), five year warranty

fine to reuse the case: if you want some nice quality additional case fans, here is a suggestion for a 5 pack.

If you have a full version of windows you can use it on the new motherboard. If not I suggest a new oem windows 10 pro disk with code for about 30 euros. This will be a one computer license that will be bound to the motherboard.

Earlier this year I helped someone with a Spanish build, and did a side by side assembly next to PCComponentes. The cost and build quality was the same. So if you want to have it assembled through PCComponentes then the price will be about the same +30 euros for the assembly. If you need help with PCComponentes let me know and I'll do a build through them.

Let me know if you have any questions!

This is not the one I bought but it's the same model with PWM. Mine was 6 bucks cheaper but didn't have PWM and it's out of stock right now.

u/AquaDigger · 1 pointr/JDM_WAAAT

Thanks for the detailed reply! Full disclosure, I bent a capacitor while I was pulling the motherboard out to clean it out properly (having done this 6-8 times previously with no issues). Replaced it, took it to a computer tech to see if they could fix it, no joy. Have had no issues with it before then.

​

Crazy how a $20 CPU can outperform a ~$350 10 year old CPU.

​

Being in Australia some of the parts are different/higher costs, some questions.

CPU: Will the X650 suffice? $17, passmark 7388? Cheapest x5670 I can find is $36.

Drive bay converter: Is this the same/similar (they only have 1 available atm)? If I can't get that one, is something like this ok?

Fans: Should I be looking at the F series in the ARCTIC fans? Work out at about $11/fan. Is there a good balance in number of fans for cooling/quietness?

CPU Cooler: CM 212 Hyper Black edition is currently $136 on Amazon AU. Is this just the RGB version (it's available more readily in Aus) and is this the older version ($16 cheaper). Is there something I should specifically be looking for to get a quiet cooler or is it just down to reviews/experience?

GPU: So I just need this for a display out, not needed to help with transcoding? Something like this 8400GS would work, 256mb? I assume used is not an issue.

​

I might have backed myself into a corner with Xpenology as my drives are currently setup in using SHR configuration, so the only way to access them (as far as I know) is through another Synology device, or using Xpenology?

​

Thanks again! You've been more than helpful! Sorry for all the extra questions.

Arctic 5 pack fans are a great choice if you're on a budget.

u/DDiablOG · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Here is my dilemma https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-F12-PWM-PST-Technology/dp/B00NTUJTAK they come in value pack if you buy them individually they are more then 2 times price for fan

u/rahtid_ · 1 pointr/buildapc

You have a few options.

You could use a fan controller, which plugs into the case fan header, and allows you to plug multiple fans into the controller. From there you can change speeds.

What I did, was used these case fans instead
https://www.amazon.co.uk/ARCTIC-F12-PWM-PST-Technology/dp/B00NTUJTAK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1542114140&sr=8-4&

They are quite decent fans, but what is unique about them is that you can basically daisy chain them all together and then plug one of them into the fan header. This keeps the functionality of the different fan speeds, and applies the same speed to all of them. So if your computer is getting cooler, all of them will slow down together, and if its getting hotter, they will all speed up together.

The only downside to this is if you want the different fans to have a different fan curve - from what I understand you cannot do that.

I agree that at least another fan would be worth it, but I might suggest these fans <ARCTIC F12 PWM PST - 120 mm PWM PST Case Fan - Five Pack | Cooler with Standard Case | PST-Port (PWM Sharing Technology) | Regulates RPM in sync https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NTUJTAK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ud18BbKFFXBFA>. I haven't used them myself, but they are a great price and have good reviews both on Amazon and independent reviewers.

u/notaneggspert · 1 pointr/buildapc

I use Arctic F12 PWM PST fans in my server itx build so that I don't need a separate fan hub.

u/SaludosCordiales · 1 pointr/buildapcsales

If you won't be using filters or radiators or you have restricted airflow, try the Artic F12. I've heard it is a decent to great fan. Amazon has a 5 pack for 27USD.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NTUJTAK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Wzn.BbWBVA77K

Noctua thankfully has competition nowadays.

  • The H7 won't be enough to sustain heavy overclocking on a 7700k. Consider a $46 Scythe Fuma when it goes back in stock (or from eBay)? That thing outperforms almost every other boxed cooler on the market right now for a very good price.

  • You'll need a bios update to use that motherboard with a Kaby Lake CPU. That's not an overclocking motherboard either, though it'll be perfectly adequate for casual overclocking. I'd probably be looking at an ASRock Z270 Extreme 4 or Gigabyte Aorus k5 or k7 for budget overclocking and aesthetics.

  • The MSI Armor cards don't have backplates, so the back of the card (the part that you actually see most of the time) will just be a blank PCB. You might want to consider an EVGA FTW or ASUS Strix for a good-looking back. GPU's are a part you could probably save $50 or so on by using Jet.com instead of Amazon.

  • Cases are very much down to aesthetics, but you can get very nice tempered glass cases for less than that Corsair thing. At your price point and with your aesthetics, I'd probably be looking at an Enthoo Evolv.

  • That PSU isn't going to help you with overclocking. Get a G2/G3, RMx, Seasonic, etc. If you're serious about overclocking or longevity. This is a part you can potentially save ~$20 on with Newegg.

  • You don't need a wifi card that nice. Most people don't even have home internet fast enough to fully use a card like that. If you really need wifi, it might be cheaper to just get a motherboard that has it out of the box.

  • Those are static pressure fans, not designed for case airflow. If you want more case fans, consider a value pack of Arctic F12's. They're probably the most acoustically efficient unrestricted airflow fan at low speeds, which is what you want for case fans.

AMD 2700 vs 2600 - more cores

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo vs Stock HSF - Can overclock 2700 to 2700x levels with ease

MSI vs Gigabyte motherboard - Gigabyte is a failing company, I would be surprised if they still exist without being bought out 2 years from now. MSI quality is vastly superior to Gigabyte. Mobo also has wireless built in

G. Skill vs Team - name brand vs new brand

1TB EX920 SSD vs 512GB SATA SSD + 2TB HDD - EX920 is 5-10 times faster vs the Devo + the HDD you selected is from a 3rd party seller on Amazon selling used drives as new. Wait and get a good 4TB or bigger. A cheap route is to "shuck" a western digital external drive. You can get an 8TB for around $120 that way.

Cases - Just chose something that would fit an ATX motherboard since your choice was mATX only

PSU - Better deal, similar quality

Monitor - Better deal + LG is a better brand for QC

Keyboard - Better deal, both Cherry MX Brown

Mouse - G602 is the best budget wireless gaming mouse, period

You WILL need case fans. This is kind of a hidden expense with building a PC.

Cheap options:

5 Pack of good fans

Fan Hub

u/goochadamg · 1 pointr/buildapcsales

Just wanted to mention that the CFMAPALLN code is not valid for that seller; the code would have brought that price down to ~$24.

Fortunately, it's available on amazon for that price with prime shipping: https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-F12-PWM-PST-Technology/dp/B00NTUJTAK/ref=pd_ybh_a_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=0GQYAQW517N8FEQAFJAV

u/cokosnuts · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Well I have low noise fans all over the place. Five "ARCTIC F12" To be precise.

  • Dual 120s at the front
  • Dual 120s at the top
  • Single 120 at the back
  • Noctua NH-D15 for the CPU

    The case fans are running @ 800RPM and the CPU Cooler is on auto. I can barely hear the wind flow when I'm reading or writing. And when I'm gaming there's zero noise from the case, in part because of the game sounds.
    Also I'm curently playing a lot of Overwatch and Borderlands 2. And the GPU fans aren't always on. It required a lot of tweaking this and that tho.
u/BlackenedPies · 1 pointr/buildapc

It depends on your case and motherboard. Here's a good deal on a 5 pack of PWM fans. Each fan has a splitter and can daisy-chain up to 4 fans together (depending on your motherboard)

You can get 5 pack of PWM Arctic fans for ~20$

https://www.amazon.com/F12-PWM-PST-Value-pack/dp/B00NTUJTAK

they're pretty quiet and move a decent amount of air. Or buy a single for $7 if that's all you need.

You could also try a resistor cable such as this:

https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Noise-Reduction-Cable-Cooling/dp/B007PPHKO2/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1484673069&sr=1-1&keywords=fan+speed+resistor

which will throttle the voltage your fan receives and thus forces it to run at a lower speed, much like PWM does though only by a static amount (around 30% usually).

u/Saales0706 · 1 pointr/buildapc

Hello there! I have the same case, and while I loved the case, the stock fans were kinda meh. so I upgraded to these. They still work fine, and now I have an actual fan curve set up so it doesn't sound like a jet engine! The 5 pack was also a nice perk.

  1. The case fans will still run at a constant speed if you plug them into your mobo fan ports. That is because they are 3 pin instead of 4. What you want to look for if you want adjustable fan speeds is anything labeled "PWM."

    2a) I don't think it really matters.

    2b) the connectors should have a little indented area on the side that the raised plastic piece on the MoBo (above the pins) fits into.
