    Thinking about sticking a delta 80mm fan on my alpha pal 8045 instead of using the vrappy Evercool low noise fan..

    but is the delta almost silent at 5 volts setting? or does it still scream like a biatch?

    thanks

    A delta at 5v would probably spin so slow it would be easier to just get a Mechatronics 53cfm or a different fan that is quiet and has good airflow.

    delta @5V wouldn't spin.... i think the startup is 5.5 or 6V, but I forget... Delta@7V is fairly quiet... about the same as a VGA cooler
