Quiet Fans

[Cbeck527]

I was looking for some fans (80mm) that have high CFM and low noise. I am sick and tired of hearing a constant PFFFFFFFFFFF from my silverstone fans. I do have a fan controller, but I would rather just get quiet fans and not have to worry about them.

Any ideas??

thanks,

Unfortunatly 80 mm Low noise \ High CFM do not exist. If you want a low noise 80 mm fan its not going to push much air. This is why they came out with 120 mm fans. At the same RPM a 120 mm fan can push double the CFM that a 80 mm can. The only thing you can do is look for a sleeve and jacket fan. These cut down on the noise but do not eliminate it.

You can try Vantec Stealth Fan SF8025L. They're pretty quiet. But like Mik3daG33k said, if it's high then they'll be loud. Lower speeds will give you lower noise. You can get bigger fans instead of multiple small ones. Sometimes people may not even need the 3-5 extra case fans and just want the disco lights instead.
