jkkeeton Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 ok i want to get the XP90 but i dont know what panflow fan everyone is talking about. I dont want a fan that is makes alot of noise. So what is the right fan to get. What does your temps read with the fan you have. And is your system overclocked like mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaKo Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 I would recommend the 92mm L1A. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkkeeton Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 the Panflow M1A puts out 48 airflow at 30noise and the panflow L1A puts lut 42 airflow at like 27 noise and i have also heard that they do not come with a connector that you have to add that on to the list.

magg Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 It depends on where you buy from. If you buy your XP-90 from Jab-tech [which the OEM is on sale for $24.99 RIGHT NOW!!], they will include the fan tail with your fan. You have a couple choices. L1A = 42CFM @ 27dBA M1A = 48CFM @ 30dBA [my choice] H1A = 56CFM @ 35dBA U1A = 68CFM @ 43dBA I choose the medium M1A fan, quiet but still does the jobs, my load temps are never above 40C with Prime, OCCT, games, whatever, with the current OC I have in my sig. I would say choose that one, as it works very well as long as ambient is kept reasonable and you have good case airflow. www.sidewindercomputers.com is another good place to buy Panaflo's if you already have the XP-90 ordered. That site also includes the fan tail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaKo Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 3db quieter was worth loss of 5cfm to me. Pigtails are cheap. http://www.panasonic.com/industrial/appliance/pdf/fba09a.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshG Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 I keep ending up with Panaflo fans that vibrate pretty badly; they're not loud, but I can feel them vibrating through the case. I've had 3 fans from 3 different retailers... Has anyone else noticed this? I ended up going with a little more noise (Enermax 92mm adjustable) instead of a vibrating case. YMMV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YMMV nope none of my 8 panaflo case fans vibrate, a bad install probably or defects. they are whisper quiet. 6x 80mm L1A, 1x 92mm L1A, 120mm L1A.

jtc_hunter Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 I use this thermaltake fan , running at 50% speed and my temps never go over 32c-34c under heavy load. And it is quiet. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811999121 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
