andrewchamp1232 Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Sorry if this is the wrong section if it is just let me know. But i got this 120 mm 140 cfm severfan 0.8 amp. that I want to use as a intake. Would this stress a psu?: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPDMF Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 .8 amp won't stress the PSU, 140 CFM might stress you though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might try hooking it up to 5V instead of 12V and see if it's quiet enough for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliveryochest Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 I only use thermaltake thunderblade 120mm fans. 78CFM @ 21DBA's. http://www.thermaltake.com/dcfans/led/thunderblade120.htm I really hate noise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Sz Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 The thunderblades are not 21db. I had 3 and they were 35db at least, many other people have stated that also. They are quiet-ish, but nowhere near 21db. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliveryochest Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 I have to disagree with you there. The Thunderblades are 21DBA's. Look at the specs. I have 6 of them on my BIX III and can't hear them at all. If you want to disagree, please provide hard facts just like I did. Gave you a link to the specs.

Guest Blooz1 Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Here's the complete list of "recommended" fans from SilentPCReview: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article63-page2.html Lots of brands, but no Thermaltakes of any variety. These people take fans very seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people belive that the specs that thermaltakes lists and advertises are flase. I belive some one did a test on this a while back. but i am too lazy to search for it at this moment.

p0tter Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 My friend bought a thunderblade, from my experience with them they are not 21db. With the rpms and air they are pushing not likely. Here is a link I found others seem to agree http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=...36&page=2&pp=20 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
