| Wow, 249 CHF for 8x fans is insane. The grip Noctua has on people! Nice workstation. |

| they aren't cheap, but noctua's latest 120mm fans are arguably as good as it gets, in quantifiable ways: https://www.hwcooling.net/en/noctua-nf-a12x25-g2-pwm-the-kin... |

| ▲ | Melatonic 10 hours ago | parent [-] | | Personally was always a fan of just going with the largest fans possible - surprised we don't see more cases designed around 140mm and larger. 200mm is much less common but has a more pleasing noise profile | | |
| ▲ | Gracana 8 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I'm also a fan of that sort of setup. A Fractal Meshify 2 XL will fit a bunch of 140mm fans, or you can get the Torrent which is smaller but has 2x 180mm fans up front. I have both and would recommend them, though the Torrent is a tight fit for a big board, and the shield on the back of the Asus W790 motherboards interferes with the cable routing grommets on the motherboard tray, so you have to remove them. | |

| Noctua makes really good fans, I'm told. Want to get on their level and make a similar amount of money? In a world of slop, quality engineering is valuable. |
