SVC seems to peridodically changes the brand of their cheapo $3 80mm case fan. When I got some in Jan, they were Powercooler, which seem pretty loud to me. In my main PC, I'm using all Antecs (the ones that come w/ the SX8xx cases, which I'm told are Sunon), 2 in front, 2 in back. The Antecs are a little quiter than the Powercoolers were.
I was thinking of replacing all the Antecs fans w/ Panaflo L1A's. They would be even quiter, wouldnt they? I don't have any specs on the Antec fans.
BTW, I've ordered from allelectronics before w/ no problems. Great place for low price electronic odds and ends. Will bgmicro ever have these in stock? Are their cold cathode kits any good?
When I bought my PAL 8045 from SVC back in Jan., I got the optional 80mm YS Tech 48.5CFM they had, which has a 4 pin connector. Can I get the 3 to 4 pin adapter w/ RPM lead SVC has to monitor the RPM of the YS Tech? It's strange, the last 60mm I had ran off the mobo, but drew almost the same amps as the 80mm YS Tech.
Also I'm thinking about replacing that fan w/ the Antec (Directron) or YL Tech (SVC) 80mm clear fan w/ blue LEDs. I lose a lot of CFM (but they look cool!) but at least the dBA rating on both are also lower than the YS Tech. Anyone know how good they are?
