Hi,
 
I am about to upgade my GPU to 2 in SLI so am looking to upgrade my fans for a better thermal environment.  I have a CPU watercooling kit which has a radiator that takes two 120mm fans.  I have been looking at the - has anyone used these?
 
For me case I want to replace my two stock 200mm fans - does anyone have any recommendations?

ASUS Rampage IV Extreme | i7 3960X @ 4.7GHz XSPC custom watercooled | 4x8GB G.Skill TridentX DDR3 2400MHz | 2 x EVGA GTX780Ti Dual Classified ACX 3072MB GDDR5 (SLI) | OCZ Vertex 4 128GB SSD (system) | OCZ RevoDrive 3x2 PCI-e 480GB SSD (apps) | WD Green 1TB HDD (data) | OCZ ZX1000W PSU | Corsair 650D | ASUS VG278H 3D monitor

    oops my link to the corsair site got stripped out.  Looking at the SP120 PWM High Performance High Static Pressure fan for the radiator.

    Hey smckechnie, first off welcome to the EVGA forums.  
     
    To answer your question, a lot of people are going to have there own opinion on which fans are better for your situation.  I am here to offer my opinion.  I have several different fans I like to use.  To be honest, I don't see to much difference between the ones I use most often.  I have used the SP120 and they do well, they tend to be a little loud at times but that is not a big deal to me.  I have also used the Sycthe Gentle Typhoons and they were a good fan to use with radiators.  Nice and quite and keep things cool.  Lastly, I am currently using the Cougar Vortex PWM fans and love them.  They keep my CPU at really good temps and stay nice and quite as well.  So with that being said, in my humble opinion, those would be the fans I would recommend.  There are other good ones as well but these are the fans I have been using.

    Moved to OCB section.
     
    I assume this is the link you were trying to post:  http://www.corsair.com/en-us/air-series-sp120-pwm-high-performance-edition-high-static-pressure-fan-twin-pack
     
    You won't be able to post links until after 10 posts.  Just an anti-spammer feature of the forums.

    Very happy with my sp120's (I run 10 of them) out a controller in them, I cannot hear mine over the flow of water running back in to my res.
