er...as title..is a 5800 RPm casing fan good?will it decrease the temperature of GC and CPU?the fan is 8mm 5800 RPM...er...and where shld i put?side panel or back panel?

Thank you , I am very happy to know someone which really a silent computer fan.I really hope to have a silent power supply.The only computer I approch before is Dell computer at office which is completely silent.It's an old Dell PC Dimension 4500 which is black in color.The PSU almost near to silent even at night.

I hope to build a silent pc and I am quite sensitive with noise.RM60 for Noctua and Scythe is kind of expensive.I remember last time buying a Cooler master 12cm tri blade which I felt being cheated buying at RM45.
Right now I have 2 choices.1st get a silent PSU hoping I'm chosen it correctly which cost RM3++, 2nd buy a new silent fan which cost RM 80-100

I am now still confuse which option I should choose.If I the PSU isn't silent I wasted RM 3++ and I didn't know how to change the PSU fan.

I used to want a real silent setup as I've personally own a HP desktop which is really silent unless i press my ear to the psu. But now, I've actually stopped trying to build a totally silent setup as it was really costing me!!

To get a real silent setup, I think PSU comes first... most of the recognized PSU, like Silverstone, Corsair should be quiet enough. Even my CM real power doesnt make that much noise. Bout the case fans... good silent fans with high CFM are hard to come by. The most economical way to make it quiet is to control the speed. Slower means less noise. Get yourself a fan controller, around RM20+ ...

yah.. PSU is one important factor ... that's why I loved my Corsair HX620 ...

so silent that I could only hear my Noctua fan whispering and HDD seek noise ..

my god, I wanted to change my current WD HDD to Samsung spinpoint that's so quiet and cooler by 4 degree...

Wrong section bro. Go to Casing and Mods and look for case fan thread. U'll find your answer there.

change ur current PSU fan first

if u didn't find it silent, buy a new psu then

there's a lot of things u have to consider if wanna build a silent rig

psu, case fan, case itself, position of the hdd bay, fan mesh guard .......just to name a few

5800rpm will blow your ear out soon.

those high rpm fan,(*iirc, this is the windstorm fan right) will have very high concentrate of air flow, nice for component cooling .

try the fan thread instead dude.

you will end up collecting the fans corps soon.
pity on those fans

so high rpm wont it be super noisy ?

wow.. so high speed.. almost same as HDD motor speed..

not a good fan position.. you should plan on how you want the direction of air flow in your cpu to increase cooling efficiency..

what is the purpose of the fan on top of the gc?? u dont have exhaust fan..will end up heaving hot air inside the case

Kompom bising rite your rig???

better face table fan direct to ur rig bro

wow..you want him to collect dust? haha

yo bro..ive got one with the same rpm with u...haha.. u should try it first..then ull kick ur pc away...the sound is to noisy..gotta need a controller for it...

of course la the airflow is awesome and can cool down ur pc...

and can i control the speed of it?using a program liek that

the windstorm??? its DAMN GOOD... if u dont mind the noise....coz itll sound like a jet engine.

seriously its noisy...and i dont recommend pluggin anything that has a rated current above 0.8A into the mobo as it risks killing ur mobo.

u wanna control via software means u have to plug into mobo...so answer is no.

i suggest looking for other fans with lower CFM and lower dBA

any suggestion then?...motehr board just have 2 place to place exhause fan...and two for intake fan....bcs only two fan slot is on upside...zzz...maybe just ignore the sound..and get a noise canceling earphone...or use my speaker..haha

hmm.. anyone can recommend a better place to put my case fans??
btw its an xps 420
