i told you not to put the fan to full speed when starting up your PC......did you do that ?

i've tested the juice when initially started, and it's more than 2.2A for sure........

maybe you should separate the rails to another source........

Hullo... I am still waiting for my fan from you lah. You send back to me edi anot?

How do we seperate the rails to another source? How does that work?

newbie here... can anyone recomend me a silent fan ? really really need silent fan... for 80mm no need UV or LED, juz plain 80mm silent fan will do..

My current fan running like a plane turbine...damn noisy and irritating..

Bear in mind, silent fans performance in cooling is just.... so so only. Very rarely you find a good fan with low noise level yet high cfm

You can go with Cooler Master case fans, not dead silent or too noisy, has decent airflow with minimal noise.

but on 2nd thought, I think its better to have a modded 80cm fan... haha... ask from AllnGap for his modded fans and see if he can include a fan speed controller... that way, you can control the noise level to the max u can tolerate. Yet, have a good speed n high air flow (cfm)

open your case use national table fan speed 1
k was a jk...

For some reason, I have grown to be more interested in case fans and be enthusiastic about it. I feel like studying on how the motor works and how does the blade design help in air flow.... anyone got any link to that?

anyways, anyone here by any chance knows where I can get those silverstone fm121 fans in KL pronto? tried calling all it, but they dont have em in stock.

try mypc or c-zone.....but iinm no stock now...or bulk frm daze n zamree7

where r u planning to use it? side case or cooler? really wanna see it

wanna use it to cool the hdd....

If you're planning on using an adaptor..then forget it.

RPM = Pressure

Having a big fan with low rpm (hence noise) is only useful to cover a bigger area that has low restriction. If funnelled through an adaptor.... this means there's more back pressure hence the real airflow will be significantly less.

For example..hold a spinning fan and observe closely...the closer you move it to the surface of the table....the noisier it gets...and less air is blown.

nvr used an adaptor b4 so dont know how loud it add to the sound clutter, also not really sure if im on the right track, anyway the reason im thinking of the 140mm fans is bec its big enuf for the air to go around 2 hdd, n hopefully not as noisy as the 120mm fans with respectable cfm....maybe this pix can illustrate better, the black rectangle is suppose to represent a hdd... lol, the blue line is cold air n the red is heat.



seems like any moderate cfm fans that i tried has the unbearable backpressure sound...so running out of ideas

It'll work if you chop the 12cm fan position and enlarge it to fit the 14cm.

Personally, I wouldn't. Reason being is that I'm EXTREMELY picky on fans.
14cm is not really a standard thing so there's not too many choices.

ps: Fans marketed as mod items for the DIY market often have inflated specifications.

not really into chopping anything so looks like my options are pretty limited....anyway just happened into this pic of someone replacing the 120mm fans with 2 x 80mm...simple but ingenious...wonder whats the sound like....

anyone tried the Evercool spider fan? 80+cfm at 25db. i wonder whether the spec is true.

I doubt it... unless maybe its a 120mm version of it. But the only strength of their fans is that it comes with the dust filter...
