dr_bowtie Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 I am looking to change out some fans I put (modded) into my current case...as they have gotten some wear on them they are getting increasingly louder... I am looking for a place to buy some quiet 92mm case fans for a decent price... the current fans i have are 3-wire with rpm sensing and are clear with blue LEDs... but at this point they really arent seen...the LED ones just give a nice glow under the case as they are modded into the bottom to direct airflow to the hard drive cages on both sides of the case.... Where do you guys buy fans...? I used to buy bulk through nexfan.com but they have went under and are no longer around... no I need to get my fans elsewhere....any ideas...?

Crazy_Nate Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 I buy mine through SVC. I snatched up a bunch of 120mm Panaflo's at $5 a pop there, a while back. It can be hit or miss at times. They've got some low-speed Panaflo's / vantec stealths (both 92mm) for ~$5 a piece. On a controller, those can be very silent.

dr_bowtie Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 I dont use a fan controller... I will only use the 5v or 7v jumper trick...I dont really have room for a fan controller... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Nate Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 The 120mm stealths we have in my GF's computer are very, very quiet at full voltage. I've only played with medium and high speed panaflo's...mediums aren't bad, but you need fan controllers to tame them. I'm sure 5V or 7V is very quiet.
