Index 2: Airflow - 120mm Fans

Remember that how much air a fan can push isn't everything - you should also see how loud a fan is, and possibly most importantly, how much air it can push per dBA.

The 120mm Scythe Gentle Typhoon and Sharkoon Silent Eagle 1000 have been included for reference as they're our favourite 120mm fans. The Antec Big Boy 200mm fan is our favourite supersize fan. Please read how we tested to see how we generated these results and what they mean.

NOTE: any fan scoring 6cfm failed to inflate the sack within the test time - these fans therefore have a cfm rating of at most 6cfm.
