    Hey

    In my current scratch build I am using two 80mm fans to exhaust hot air out of the back of my case, so I am looking for a fan that has good airflow but is also quiet.

    Any Suggestions.

    S-flex 4,5 dBA? Lul.

    This makes a bit more sense:

    The SPCR-links are old, but those Nexus fans are still in sale (atleast here in Finland).

    I think the S-Flex (1000rpm) is a different fan from the Kama Flex (2000rpm) but like I said, it has been a long time since I went shopping for an 80mm. :D

    Wow, I just followed some of the links posted here, since I haven't purchased an 80mm fan in a while either. They're pretty expensive eh?
