atensione!!! all posters! put a tiny weeny amount of effort into your posts! http://www.watercoolingshop.com/cat...d=189&osCsid=17d753defc617612a66b9d1f5df47f81 Speed 1700RPM / Airflow CFM 65.12 / Noise 30dBA £4.99 http://www.wizarddesigns.co.uk/rads.htm Papst Fan 120mm / Airflow CFM 55.3 / Noise 26dB £17.99
papst 120mm fans are excellent performers, silenX 120mm fans much better (on paper) but ive not tried them out, so i woudnt be able to back them up i have 3 120mm papst fans in mycase though and they are very quiet at 12v and inaudible at around 8v and lower
silenX will you look att this: Features: Fan Swept Forward Fan Blade Design Smoother, Thinner Fan Blades Highly Efficient Hypro Bearings Vibration Isolation Mounts Specifications: Fan Dimensions: 120 x 120 x 25mm Fan Input: 12V/1.2W Fan Speed: 1800 RPM Air Flow: 58 CFM Noise Level: 14 dBA Three Pin Connector Four Pin Connector and a Papst Papst 4412 F/2GL Abmasse: 120x120x25 mm Leistungsaufnahme: 1.25 W Lagerart des Lüfters: Sintec Gleitlager Nenndrehzahl: 1600 /- 10% RPM Förderleistung : ca. 55,4 CFM Geräuschpegel: ca. 26 dB(A) Drehzahlüberwachung : nein Anschluss: 3-pin.
the specifications of silenx on paper look amazing but it could just be an entirely different way of measuring the noise level, and the only way to really compare them would be to use both of the side by side
I remember reading on a fan site that 14 dbA is quieter than they could measure....seemed a bit ridiculous but the fan has to make some sound, you cannot stop the sound of air moving, haha.
Oh, alright then. For all your silent 120mm fan cooling needs: go for a Panaflo FBA-12G12L: Air Flow: 68.9 CFM Fan Speed: 1700 RPM Noise Level: 30 dBA Power: 2.6 watt Bearing Type: Hydro Wave Bearing Fan Size: 120x120x38mm Else, NMB makes some nice quiet fans, but they're harder to obtain. Also, visit Silent PC for more info on quiet fans.
