With the industry moving towards better cooled enclosures and CPU heatsinks the logical choice was to increase fan size, to increase airflow without adding noise. Today we take a look at different 120mm fans from well known and less known manufactures. We started out with 2 fans and quickly added more to give you, the reader, a better overview of the performance and noise level of the 120mm fans out there. If you like to see a fan included please don’t hesitate to send us your suggestions.

This review is a to the point article, first we list the official specifications from each fan, and include a small picture of the fan mounting. On the next page you can find some information on how we mounted the fan inside a case. The 3rd page includes details on each fan, what extra’s you get and where you can buy it. On the last page we include real world performance tests and noise recordings inside a case, we use a CPU heatsink designed especially for 120mm fans.
