Hi, i am new to the forum, but have a question for you kind and knowledgeavle folks to answer. I have just built my first rig (amd 1800xp+, 256 crucial ddr, kr7a-raid, pioneer 16x dvd, liteon 24x10x40 CDRW, Enermax 350) all housed in a lian li PC60. The fans are very noisy (standard dvvd i think - cant quite see the label) the front two can be controled to a nice noise level and my zelman flower came with a 92 mm papst (which arrived broken - grr) but the back fan is very noisey. I want a good fan which will be quiet but still give a reasonable cfm to cool my sytem (80mm). I was thinking of buying one papst for the exhaust and leaving the rest (fairly quiet but low cfm on front), or shoudl i get a medium rage fan for the front (ie not £15+ like papst). M'kay - have you any advice on what to get for: a)exhaust (80mm) b)front (2 of em 80mm) i would like a quiet system because i sleep/or try to sleep in the same room and often leave it on. Ok, i hope you understand this host and help and can recognise dogy spelt words its 4.37 in the morning and i am just bout to go to sleep. Thanks. :rofl:
I am a panaflo man to be honest ... get 3 80mm L1A's very quiet fans... I slept with 3 80m H1A's last night and it was fine so the L!A's are gonna be even quieter!
lol... would you recommend the 80mm L1A's or the 80mm H1A's . I know papst are very quiet but will the L1A's not cool my sytem enough?
If you want to get a good night's sleep, what you really need is three Delta EHEs....:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Seriously, look at panaflo, papst, evercool, and the lower-flow sunons (if you can find them).
aye, thats the problem i cant seem to see many places online that are selling the papst. gr. do you know any sites?:rofl:
oh yeah, the Deltas are really good for putting you to sleep - NOT :rofl: :rofl: They are damn noisy b!tches. Panaflow fans are very good and quiet too, I'd go with what spike says and try a couple.
For the price i am going for three evercool 80mm from: http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/product.php?subcat=15 - at £4.50 a shot i can afford it and in future if i am not happy i will find somewhere that sells panaflows. Thanks for you help.:rofl:
I have 4 x 80mm ys-techs (cheap ones) and the enermax 350 and the 2 PSU fans are louder than the case fans .
i would go with either panaflow - or for some cool fannage - go to the Thermaltake smart case fan (pt no#: A1214) 8cm heat sensing VERY quiet fan - does a good job too!
