What is the quietest 80 mm than can push >35cfm??

[alexruiz]

I am thinking about getting the GC68 for an Athlon XP 1900+. The fan it has pushes 30 CFM at 28 dBA. SVCompucycle has also a fan than can push 35.8 cfm at 29.8 dBA. I wouls like to know what is the quietest 80 mm fan than can push 35 cfm or more.

Thanks

panaflo 1HA, no doubt

Yeah the panaflo, but I just ordered 3 of the new Enermax manually adjustable variable speed 80mm fans.

First off, theyre blue with clear blades. (there's also a pinkish version)


Second, they have three speed settings --- in conjunction with motherboard montor you can find what works best for you.

At max setting, the rating is 40cfm and 33db.

At mid speed, 32cfm and 27db.

At low, 25cfm and 21db.


You also get a chrome grill and a 3 to 4 pin adaptor. With the panaflo you get bare wires.

I want a quiet PC, but the ability to ramp it up if needed is very nice. One of these is going on my heatsink. one as case exhaust and one as case intake.

of course, if you really want good airflow at a lower noise... you can get like a 68cfm delta and a rhoebus and turn it down to a lower speed

One note about the SVCompucycle fans. I had 4 of them in my SX830, and the darn thing sounded like a wind tunnel. The fans may be silent, but the air movement sure as heck was noisy. I mean it was downright uncomfortable. So, I changed them out for 4 Panaflo L1As, and my internal case temp went up 4 degrees F, but my comfort level went WAY up.....

Quietest 80mm at 35CFM I saw was the YS-Tech FD1281255S-1N. 35CFM @ 27.4dB. Good luck finding it though.

I would have to second a vote for emermax(blue) adjustable fans. they can be quiet or fairly loud or anywhere in between. sweetness. ie: maybe you find out you don't need a full 35 cfm and the noise simply turn it down alittle, maybe you find out you need a little more cfm just crank it up a little. you really can't go wrong with these puppies.

no I don't work for them, no I don't sell them, I'm just using them.
