What is the best fan to put on a SLK-800 to cool a DL3TC?

epauls said:Since noise is an issue I would suggest the Tt SF II since you can manually adjust it. I'm pretty sure that it has one of the best noise to CFM ratios out there. At 1/2 speed approx 3000RPM and approx 47cfm and around 33db it is virtually silent in my case.
Then if you want you can kick it up when say the temp in the room gets high or whatever. Or even lower it if there was a need.
Believe it or not I think the Tornado has just as good of a Noise/CFM ratio but you would need to add a manual adjustment to it to lower it down.
IMHO there are only really 2 (80mm)fans to consider out there. Either the Tornado or the Tt Smartfan II. If you either have a fan controler already or don't care about noise levels go with the Tornado. If you do care about noise then you go with the SF II. Why because if you do the math you can turn down the SF to db levels of other fans like the panaflow and the SFII will be pumping more CFMat those db levels. Then if you have a need you can pump it up to levels almost as high as the Tornado(and it will still be quieter than the Tornado).

I would get that instead....
