Quiet but powerful fan?

Hey You · Jul 24, 2003

Can someone point me to a list of fans where the technical information such as size, cfm and dBa have been conveniently tabulated for a quick perusal or do I have to make one from the hodge podge of one shot fan reviews?

Click on the PDF Chart, and it will show you the stats for a lot of fans.

if you go to sidewindercomputers.com, they have a listening room where you can hear all of their fans. Pretty cool. They also have a great deal on Sunon 80 mm fans, 2 for $10 (saw it in the cyber deals forum), its a 39.5CFM, 33db fan.

The quietest yetn most powerful solution I imagine would be a 92mm Vantec Tornado on a speed controller...or just doing a 7v mod or a 5v mod on it probably would do the trick...

For a 7V mod I think what you do is switch the yellow wire and the red one...I think...(in the molex connected to the fan's wires)

Not sure about the 5v mod but I think you can search on the forums for it

For the 7V mod, you leave the red fan wire on the yellow. You take the black fan wire and attach it to the red PSU wire.

For the 5V, leave the black fan wire on the black PSU wire. Take the red fan wire and put it on the red PSU wire.

120mm Vantec Tornado? Where?

You can never go wrong with Panaflo's. Super quiet fans with great CFM. These things are so quiet that I had to put my ear to it just to hear it. ( Everything in and around my room what turned off )

I looked at that silent pc review page and I think I'm gonna' go with the Sunon KD1212PMB1-6A. I provides a 2/1 ratio of CFM / dBa.

Thanks all!

Yea, I'm still dreaming about a 120mm Tornado. I wonder how much turbulence it would cause in my room?

Just a heads up, remember that every 3-4 db added to the sound level doubles the noise. In other words, 2x20db fans make as much noise as 1x23db fan.

Most people assume that they could buy one powerful 40 db fan instead of two 20s but you need more than ten 20db fans to equal the noise.

Quiet but powerful fan?
