Quiet Case Fans?

[jammysammy]

Where can I find some nice and quiet case fans?

look here
i recommend fans with less than 25dba. i bought 80mm manually adjustable enermax fans and they very well for me.

Pc Power and Cooling 80mm fans are perfect for this.

I second elektronic, although I think there are other excellent choices. I've also use a fanbus to slow them down a bit, and get even more quiet.

Panaflo L1A's are an excellent low noise cooling solution. BGmicro normally carries them for ~3.00ea, but you can pick them up @ 2cooltek.com as well for a decent price.

The new Nidec's are pretty good. If you get the sleeve bearing model, its rated at 25 CFM with 19.8 dBA. The ball bearing is 25 CFM 22.5 dBA.


Papst has some nice ones as well, but they are more harder to find.

Papst. They're expensive but the quietest ones around AFAIK

I have some Panaflo L1a's and also Enermax Fan II. Like them both. The Panaflos are quieter and the Enermax put out more air. I got them off Ebay for cheap. Newegg also has the enermax fans.

Another vote for Panaflo L1A
