I'd like to know which casing fan is quiet and silent enough ?
8cm
10cm
12cm

Btw , I am newbie with those casing fan.I know some fan can control their speed.Actually how to control their speed ? How do I identified which kind of fan which I can control the speed ? Can I control from 0 to 2000 rpm something like that ?

Thank you

anyone can tell me ?

Thank you for the fan list Doom.I am actually plan to get a silent fan to replace my power supply fan.
The power supply that I'm currently using was Enermax FMA 350W which build with 2 fans.It stated with adjustable 8cm fan.
Please help me to look whether both fans are 8 cm through the picture.If there are 2 fans how do I replace them ?
I know someone will suggest me get a new power supply but up until now not even one person can suggest me a good quiet/silent PSU.
I have been asking around http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/617636 but not even one forumer can confirm 80-90% for a silent power supply.They just reply "try this and that PSU but they haven't use before even ST56F having buzzing noise.I don't want to regret after wasting RM300 for a PSU which is not silent.

Now I just plan to open the PSU and change the fan , but I am know nothing about changing PSU fan hoping someone can suggest a silent fan and also guiding me through how to replace a Dual PSU fan.Budget for both fans RM0 - RM 120 MAX , PSU RM0 - RM 330MAX hoping for less than RM100 both fan and less then RM 260 for PSU

Thank you

The version having those buzzing noise is ver 3.1 http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=15708616

Normally how hot can a PSU stand ? what are the price for this few fans mention by Doom for 8 cm and 9 cm ?

Silent
Noctua, Scythe

Quiet
Akasa, Yate Loon, CoolerMaster

Thank you

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.

Hi anyone know where I can find this 12cm fan ?

Cooler Master Ultra Silent Fan Series (SAF-S12-E1)

What is cfm ?

Oh ,thanks , but 700 RPM really that low ? as I know even my house ceiling fan spinning 5 times per second already can few the airflow.If 700 means 700 times in one second sure a lot of airflow.
I know computer casing fan is different but I think isn't that much right ?
Really plan to buy a silent fan with cheaper price.
