What is a good 92 mm fan...

SilentandDeadly · Jun 13, 2003

I want a fan that has a moderate noise rating but a high CFM. If possible, could anyone post a link to what the dB can compare to, so I know approximately HOW loud something will be. I remember seeing a chart that compared every 10 or so dB to a noise that most people have heard, and then showed how long it would take to go def.

EVERCOOL 120mm ALUMINUM FRAME FANS.. WHEE

I would go with a Sunon 92 mm. Sunon makes great fans I am currently using them. They boast high CFM. Here is the link www.nexfan.com/su92x92x25fa.html. As for a sound chart I don't know where to get one. 33 db sounds like talking on the soft side.

Thank You,
Daniel

Yea, the Sunon fans are nice. Try the Vantec 92mm Thermoflow. 58.5 Max CFM at 40dB. 34.8 CFM min at 29 dB.

What about the Enermax with speed control?

I must admit that the evercool with aluminum frames have a great look!

There's the chart you need.

the very best performing 92mm fan with low noise would be a tornado on a reobus or 7v mod, because its the widest of them all and at 7v its almost dead silent

Zoilo · Jun 15, 2003

Heh. I don't like the tornado. Too loud for my tastes. I'm not sure how low the mulipanel brings the voltage on it, but it was still loud at the lowest setting. I like the sunon fans, myself.

tornado isnt even quiet at 5volts... u want an in audible 92mm fan.. u get a panaflo l1a or evercool.. simple! these evercools are still pretty loud at 12volts too, i had to take em down to 5.

Want a really quiet fan? Buy some earplugs, and a tornado.

I'll vote for this one as well. I've loved all my panaflo's

Does anyone have a good site for the Sunon fans? All the ones I find kill with those shpping costs. All I want is 2 of the 92mm, but am not willing to pay more than $6 shipping(assuming each fan is $6 or under).

I agree, even at 7v the Tornado is too loud. The Panaflos are nice if you don't have any fan controllers or don't mind volt modding it. In my situation, I want something that I can run normally during the day and bring the speed down at night. I haven't tried the Sunon fans yet, but anything is better than this Tornado.

Good suggestions Hookem, thanks.

This seems to be the best 92 mm fan I can find.

tornados rule, just get a controller of some sort and turn it down when you dont need full blast. I have one on my HSF and one at my top blowhole and i wouldnt go any other way. You get used to the noise after like 2 minutes anyways.

I'd love to see a better selection of 38mm-wide fans in both 80mm and 92mm. So far, the only ones I've seen in that width are the Tornados (and other version of it like the one from PCtoys).

i agree with you, i gotta accept my tornado isnt silent at its lowest speed but at least i know it pushes air than any other i know of with the same specs (i dunno any really, lol)
