Rank #9 in Best Case Fans 2026: 9 Ranked by What a Fan Actually Costs
upHere 120mm Silent Case Fan, 3 Pack (£3.33 a Fan)
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The upHere 120mm Silent Fan is not one fan. It is a pack of three for £9.99, which works out at £3.33 each — the lowest per-fan figure in this guide, and the reason it sits at number nine rather than higher up. The listing calls it "ultra silent operation at 19 dBA", and 19 dB is the smallest noise number quoted anywhere in this list: Noctua says 25.1 dB(A), be quiet! 31 dB, Corsair 36 dB. That comparison needs a caveat, though, because the units are not the same across the guide — ARCTIC quotes 0.3 sones on its packs, which cannot be read against a decibel figure at all. The upHere number sits in the same decibel family as the others, but nothing in the listing says how the 19 dBA was measured, or whether it is at the full 1,200 RPM the spec table gives.
The rest of the listing is a 3-pin fan at 12 volts drawing 1.44 watts, rated for 38 cubic feet per minute, with RoHS compliance stated in the bullets. The brand's own model name and the manufacturer part number on the page do not match each other, which is worth knowing before you try to order a fourth one later. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing — the price, the noise figure, the spec table and the customer reviews — and not from any testing we have carried out.
