Next, if you want performance at all costs then my recommendation from the last roundup holds true again here: Corsair's SP120 High Performance is basically it. At $6.99 apiece it's really kind of hard to go wrong here, and it may very well be an excellent replacement fan for even a garden variety tower heatsink.
Exactly like I suspected, there was a diamond floating around in Rosewill's rough, so bargain hunters or people who need to replace their stock fan for whatever reason are going to be extremely well served by the Hyperborea.
On the other hand, if you have a different 120mm radiator or if you want a notable difference in performance, there are some recommendations to make.įirst, if you're on the cheap and need a good fan, your buck pretty much starts and stops at Rosewill's Hyperborea. That stock fan is a surprisingly good inclusion and speaks well to Corsair's quality control. For most users, at least of the Corsair H80, the stock fan is going to be mostly acceptable although I'd probably leave it on its "Low" setting. With all that said, with this many more data points, I feel much more comfortable making serious recommendations. I'm not of the impression that you can really get too much better than the ones at the tippy top of our lineup. The fact is that while these are fun tests to do, teasing out differences between fans is only really useful when you find an odd outlier that's either an exceptional performer and an exceptionally poor performer. Yes, undoubtedly I have omitted someone's favorite fan.
