Advice on Fans

[Shumer]

Vantec Stealth or Panaflo low output

80mm fans Both with about the same db level
But Im not sure about the cfms

Any recomendations?

Panaflo. The Vantec Stealth fans have bigger ball bearings than most fans and generate a lot of vibrational noise. Panaflos use Hydro sleeve bearings, slightly lower cfm and slightly lower dBA levels as well.

I've got one of each on my case and as far as I can tell they both sound the same to me.

stealths push more air but they're louder than the panaflo.

try the silentpcreview forums, they're insane about silencing noise!

I went with the Panaflo And recieved it today.Installed and I must say I'm very happy with the sound level.
I put it in a Medion Titaniun 8000 (The Aldi Computer)Which has the Air XL System.Which is one huge fan side mounted
blowing in direct to the cpu.I was not happy with the temp that the machine was running at. I have no temp monitoring equip.But Top of the case was always VERY warm.Whith the Panaflo fan added I can notice a huge difference at least to the touch.The top of the case is now Very cool. Thanks for the "GOOD" Advice.

On A Side note I ordered the fan and tailwire adapter from Casecooler.com and was Extremely happy with the speed of shipping .
