Hey, are there any 80X80X38mm fans out there that are not jet engine wannabes? I know the 38mm thick will push more air at a higher pressure, and in the environment I wish to use them, volt-modding will NOT be an option. Nor will rheostats or resistors.

The Thermaltake SmartFan2 at low speed pushes good air but at full speed its louod as hell. Thats about all I can think of, I'll be interested to see what else there is.

delta makes a 45 cfm version of their 80cfm sreamer.
check it out http://www.deltaww.com/products/dcfans/pdf/FFB808038.pdf

I have the 68cfm version with rheostat on my slk800.

I have no idea of where you can purchase the 45cfm version tho...

the vantecs are pretty good for what your looking for and move a pretty reasonable amount of air as for being 80x80x38 im not sure on the 38 they are also VERY cheap

its might be just me, but i like the extra power on the tornado, at 7v or 2850rpm is well bearable

u always say that, but even a tornado at 7v has this distinct whine to it that i personally cant stand

I'd look for some Papst fans.. Don't know for sure if they make any 80x80x38 models though, but I'd be surprised if they didn't..
