Quiet case fans

[Mikel05]

Hello everyone,

Today im looking for quiet case fans. 80mm, they do not need to have a light show... but i wouldnt mind one that can monitor its Temp.

Thanks in advance

My Thermaltake case has 7 quiet 80mm fans that are keeping an OC'd 2500+@3200+ and a geforce4 4600OC'd cool enough to run F-a-D, work, make DVD's and all while staying under 71f which is room temp. CPU is 116f all the time. These fans also came with a fan speed control but I have them on high because the CPU is at 100% continuously. I was able to move my case up to my desk from the floor and still talk on the phone. You can buy them from hundreds of suppliers online and sidewalk.

Papst has very quiet fans. They're a bit on the expensive side though.

i would agree with zalman fans, they are VERY quiet, until they go dead and just cause a rucus (sp?) they are a lil more expensive, but sometimes its worth it! also, if u can up the size of the fan to 92mm or 120mm for more cfm and less rpm

Look at www.nexfan.com
They are my #1 fan supplier.
They currently have some nice clear 80mm case fans with ball bearings and led's for $1.99
They carry many of the major brands, Sunon, Evercool, YS-TECH and more.

I suggest the CoolerMaster Quad LED fan..they are quiet, plus they use a bearing called the RIFLE bearing, which increased its service life. I forgot the site where it shows how does it work, but it sure is quiet enough for me, the price is quite okay.

vantec does make a mean stealth fan, my only experiences are with the 120mm version though.... very quiet, but almost 15 bucks
