ReMoose Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 get the sunbeam that everyone around here recommends you can have all the way off or on. Link: http://www.jab-tech.com/Sunbeam-5-1-4-Rheo...CK-pr-2530.html There is also a silver variant on there too. The only thing i dont care for about the sunbeams is the blinding leds....they are some of the brightest ive seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenuzara Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 i have heard really good things about the globalwin fans, really quiet, with basically no audible motor noise, good CFM too for the low rpm... http://svcompucycle.stores.yahoo.net/1202512l.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelzhao Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 The blinding LED's, thats a huge turnoff. I'm a really sensitive sleeper. I can't sleep with any real LED's at all. I unplugged all my LED's in my computer fan panel. Thats why my case also has no side panel, because I wouldn't be able to fall asleep if anything had lights. So the Sunbeam LED's are a big turnoff, can they be turned off, disconnected, or broken in any way? I'm serious, if it is that good and the alternatives are few, I will smash the LED in with a hammer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMoose Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 best bet would be resistors. unless you want no leds at all then you can just snip the leads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenuzara Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 could paint over them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blooz1 Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 It would take you less than 5 minutes to remove all the LED's from a Sunbeam controller! They aren't soldered in, the legs just slide into a socket for each channel. so it's easy to remove 'em, replace 'em, whatever.... I'll add my vote for the Yate Loon's, too. I recently replaced the Globalwins in my nF2 rig with Yate Loons, and temps dropped a couple of degrees without any noise increase. The Globalwins are nice and quiet, but I think they're a bit wimpy on airflow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
faheyd Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 I'm not meaning to be an butt**** or anything. But please don't hijack other people's threads. Thanks... Too bad you took it that way, I meant it as an alternative to the fans you proposed. You're welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

watsonte Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 I have some Antec 3 Speed fans I got from a local computer store...These things are silent even on High Speed (70+ CFM) I am very picky about the silence of fans and aside from my 8db Scythe fanse these things are quiet...

michaelzhao Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 For a massive heatsink, what is considered adequate as CFM goes. I usually just use anything above 30 CFM for a good heatsink, usually 40 CFM for a crappy one. Do you guys recommend more? Also, I do have an intake fan right over my heatsink, so that helps temps even a bit more. I think I can get away with a lower CFM fan.

Praz Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 It depends on the heatsink. When I was using the Scythe Ninja a Yate Loon/Nexus made for an excellent combination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
