gustie Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 found these today - they push 90CFM of air.... http://www.silenx.com/ixtremaprofans.asp?sku=ixp-76-18 im swapping cases as my old case has no front fan spot! my new hand-me-down case can hold x2 120mm fans on the front and looks like maybe a 92mm fan on the rear... any good????

IVIYTH0S Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 i love my scythe ultra kazes but for the noise level per airflow, those are AMAZING!!. I may just get one of them for my new GPU cooler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Very quiet for the air they push, but here are some 110/38 ones. I'll be buying those soon for my radiator. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16835185060 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be buying those soon for my radiator. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16835185060 damn you beat me to it. I can't decide between either the slipsteams or the SilenX fans for my new gpu cooler. The SilenX are clearly THE BEST CFM/dba ratio ever. But I think the Slipstreams are a close second and the noise wouldn't be out of hand. The Ultra Kazes are borderline too loud (not to mention, thermalright says to use 120x120x25 and the ultra kazes are 120x120x38) and the slipstream would be quieter while still moving a good bit of air. I think I'll get the slipstream so I can see how much quieter they are, and if they are significantly more quiet while not losing that much airflow, I may replace my two ultra kazes with them.

Onion Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) I would go for slipstream since they push more but are a bit louder. My stock rad fans do 33 dba for 88 cfm, not too bad, but raped by slipstream. Edited January 18, 2009 by l33t p1mp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My stock rad fans do 33 dba for 88 cfm, not too bad, but raped by slipstream. ya scythes are amazing, other than a delta fan putting out around 150cfm and 50dba. I found noone that can touch them with the high end airflow numbers, while still having respectably mid-sound levels. Do you think I should get a fan controller and just crank back my Ultra Kazes or just replace them with the Slipsteams (as the 20 less CFM wont hurt my cooling that much)?

Onion Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Get a fan controller, it's better than to waste a good 20 dollars replacing good fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Get a fan controller, it's better than to waste a good 20 dollars replacing good fans. good point, for all I know the UK's may be quieter at the slipstream speed. Can you recommend any good ones off the top of your head? I only need it for maybe 4 fans max (2CPU fans, the SS on the GPU and be able to run an extra just in case) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need a super one, and I'm probably just gonna sit it on top of my case. I might risk the Thermaltake one, I know they make good stuff (though this would be the first Thermaltake item I've ever purchased).

Onion Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 The newegg comments are to be taken with a grain of salt.

My case is a Frankenstein project and the controller is just gonna sit on top so it won't bother me what it looks like. It even could be pink, I don't care lol (well hopefully it'd be like 6 bucks if it was pink) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
