3aces Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 i have an Aspire X - QPACK, case this is an absolutly amazing case for the price.the problem i have is when i brought the case it came with an exhuast fan, which is noisy as hell, im running an Athlon64 3700+ in this case, so the exhaust fan is required i mean it is cooled directly with an zalman 7700cu cooler, so that part is quite.so i was wondering can anyone recommend a exhaust fan which is next to silent... money is not an object seeing as i have already spend 800+ on this buildThanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Panaflo's 120mm fans have long been regarded as some of the quietest you can get. However, they're usually thicker (38mm) than "normal" 120mm fans (25mm).At a quick look I just found this fan that is only 26.8db (the Panaflo's usually run about 35db).http://www.frozencpu.com/fan-191.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmX.Memnoch Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Just make sure you have the clearance for the Panaflo's. Like I said, they're thicker than most other 120mm fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clintb Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Check out what the guys on silentpcreview.com have to say. Summary: Panaflo, Papst & Nexus are highly regarded. It seems that Nexus are really good when you don't want to jack around with undervolting and such. That silly orange color though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That silly orange color though...thanks for that is makes an interesting read, also during my searches on Goolge.. i came acroos thisSilenX 11dBanow this is a seriously quite fan, i was wondering if there is anyone out there who has one of these, if they would post about it.. things such as tempertures readings and noise levels during the night weather its durable and worth the moneyMuch Appritiate ItThanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noguru Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 (edited) Yup, I recommend Nexus if I really want to recommend something. I have a 90mm that does 19db, I don't hear it at all. and is was very cheap. Papst is more expensive and uses a sleeve instead of ball-bearings. In theorie these don't live as long as ballbearings.I think that there a lot of good and silent fans in general. So I feel that the best advice I can give you is not to spent to much money on it. ( But I must say that a panaflo that does 35db probably sounds like a vacuumcleaner to me, horrible! That must be a CPU cooler, not a casefan)edit: Too late you have found something already, looks very nice and indeed very very silent Edited April 14, 2006 by noguru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda43 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I just leave the case covers OFF and don't need no silly case fan.The whole inside of my computer stays at room temperature.The cpu stays cooler and so does everything else.And there's NO fan noise! It don't get no better'n that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
