High speed 120mm PWM fan for 4 pin CPU header

[oparr]

Hi,

Can't seem to find any of these fans with max speed greater than 1500
RPM. Anyone know of any capable of 2000 RPM or greater? Not interested
in 3 pin fans here since they'll be maxed all the time on the 4 pin
header (ASUS MB). Thanks.

Okay, thanks.

Why do you think you need a higher-speed fan?

Based on temperature measurements.

The idea behind larger fans is to turn them more slowly and keep them quieter...

Great idea and with thermal control you decide how fast you want them
to turn at idle and under load. This makes the speed and noise at idle
independent of the fan's maximum speed. However, if CPU temperature
dictates a higher speed requirement under load than the fan is capable
of delivering then one option is to look for a faster fan. Fans are
usually cheap.

Thanks but neither the Antec nor the Silverstone are PWM fans so I
assume the rest aren't either.

Thanks. Just what I'm looking for. Even see it cheaper elsewhere.
