I need your opinion. PLEASE?

I need to replace both of the 120mm case fans in the top of the Beast because the bearings are about fried, and after looking on Amazon.com I narrowed my search down to five different fans. I honestly am terrible at decisions like this so I thought I'd copy-and-paste links to each of the fans I found and let y'all pick which one I get.

1. COUGAR CFD http://www.amazon.com/COUGAR-CFD12HBB-120mm-Hydraulic-Bearing/dp/B00J9O4XYC/ref=sr_1_108?ie=UTF8&qid=1408145251&sr=8-108&keywords=blue+120mm+fan+3pin

2. Thermalmake Thunderblade: http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Thunderblade-Case-AF0032-Blue/dp/B003819S8S/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1408145120&sr=8-8&keywords=120mm+case+fan+3-pin

3. B-Gears Ice: http://www.amazon.com/Bgears-b-ice-120mm-Chrome-Coating/dp/B001FMQT3E/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=8-3&keywords=bgears+ice

4. Antec TriCool: http://www.amazon.com/Antec-TriCool-LED-Cooling-3-Speed/dp/B00066FHEW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=8-2&keywords=antec+120mm+fan+3pin

5. AeroCool Dead Silence: http://www.amazon.com/AeroCool-Cooling-DS-120mm-Blue/dp/B00JRTMA5I/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1408145170&sr=8-9&keywords=blue+120mm+fan+3pin

You really don't care which one right? Price ranges from $8 to $30 lol. Anyways, I'd take the Antec, I've had good experiences with them.

 

[The VCR King]

Yeah, I can give a crap less about the price. I just want good replacement fans.

Noctua fans are generally just amazing fans from what I've heard. They're quiet and cool good. They are expensive though. They are some of the most popular fans out there so that's saying something.

The NF P12 is quieter but cools worse. The NF F12 is louder and cools better.

Oh and how did you finally figure out that the fans were the problem?

 

[The VCR King]

I went into bios and turned off certain fans until noise stopped. Noise stopped after cutting power to fans in the top of the case.

I really want fans with blue leds to match the rest of the PC's look, and I don't want to spend more than $30 per fan.

 

[PCunicorn]

Noctuas are $25 at NewEgg but I understand. I have no experience with any of those so I can't tell you which one to get sadly.

Yeah that's one way to do it that I forgot. You are gonna have to remove your GPU after all.

I don't want to spend more than $30 per fan.

Sigh. Although I agree $30 a fan is pretty ridiculous.

Why don't you just sort by CFM/reviews and pick whichever seems the best to you? The list you compiled is pretty random and doesn't really correlate to any performance figures.

Its case fans. Anything like Cooler Master SickleFlow or Cooler Master JetFlo or Antec TwoCool or Antec True Quite or Zalman UltraQuite or even the Gelid Solutions. All have blue LEDs

Antec because they are nice and cheap.

I think the case fans that came with my CoolerMaster case as OEM were SickleFlows.

I DO have ONE question about the Antec TriSpeeds. Will those work in my PC or do I need Antec fans w/o the speed switch so my mobo can auto-adjust?
