Air cooling, gotta love it

[FarFarAway]

Right well I've been on air for some time and now I'm finally getting my arse in gear and getting my project done (secret squirrel, details will follow)

But that does mean basically stripping out all the fans for use in the new project....

And that does mean I'm left with a CPU fan that sounds like it may take off at any moment

Seriously, my ears hurt

Panaflo High Speed 120mm. 125 CFM, 45.5 Dba

Ouch

Thankfully Tinytom is letting me borrow some fans until it's done, or I may go nuts

EDIT - here's what it sounds like, from a mic on my desk! Click

Hmm you also using it as a blender when you have to prep some food?

 

[browney]

blender any one

I recently replaced my stock 120mm fans with Xilence XPF120R Red Wing 120mm Quiet Fan there great

 

[Dualist]

Doesn't sound too bad. Atleast you know it's working

Guys you need to have a delta in your life if you think it's a blender lol.

But can you get the paint off it so it's not so unbalanced.?

Ghetto fans ftw !

Mobos without fan control in the bios ftl !

Think that fan looks kewl btw, very rustic looking

Delta's are pretty stupid fans, as are high/ultra high speed pana's.

The paint doesn't really unbalance it too much, it's just stupidly loud

The mobo has fan control in the BIOS but it doesn't recognise the pana. I like the fans look, tis sweet under UV

Wow, that is an impressive look, wouldn't think it was the same fan >.<

Me either, that fan looks the part inside that case. ^^

:whack:

They ain't stupid. People who put them in 24/7 rigs could be debated as stupid. But for benching and testing there's nothing better.

*whistles*

Delta are the gods of the fan world. Stuck under a hefty fan controller they can give a better CFM/dBA ratio than most other fans with the added option of evacuating any dust from your radiator when slapped on full pelt :yumyum:

Meh you know what I meant! :stickpoke

I wouldn't be able to live with a Delta 24/7
