I was just wondering what are some good case fans? I was think of 80mm Sunon fans.......are they a good make?

How many CFM's should they have?

Should I ge fans with the most CFM's?

[dugans]

I go for cheap stuff, but I try to get 120s or 92s for case cooling when possible: more cfm at lower volume.
I'm sure there'll be posts about Panaflow and Sunon (I do have a couple of these) and more.

If you want good case fans which are relatively cheap and have very good performance it'd have to be the YSTech 120mm which pushes 131cfm.

It's defintely not loud and its only about 15USD

[Gandalf]

How many CFM's would you recommed for an 80 mm fan?

[Yodums]

80mm... hmm about 40+ cfm. Usually Sunon have good 80mm case fans and they are very quiet.


Unless you want Panaflo they are pretty expensive.

I prefer Pabst dual ball bearing models, These fans are noticably heavier than say a Sunon for example and are made to last.

How about Comair Rotron's?

There's a fan of theirs which is relatively small and pushes almost 330cfm.

i have 1 60mm sunon at 36cfm
2 120mm sunon at 83cfm
and 1 120mm sunon at 108 cfm....
they run very quite

NOT LOUD

omg those things are louder thin my delta 38 but without the high pitch
with thim at 7v they are liveable

I got some high speed sunons 92mm and they scream at 12v but at 7v they are almost silent

I would get either some low speed 80mm or get some high speed 80mm and get put thim at 7v

Sunon. I just got a 80mm one from http://www.sidewindercomputers.com for $10 not including shipping and I love it!!! I dont even notice it, its great. I think it is the ultra high speed one or something, just look at that site, they have great fans at great prices!

Well if you want to compare to a Delta then put it this way for a Delta to get more CFM its more dBA and more RPM this thing is only 45dBA guessing about 5 more dBA and only 2800rpm! :p

all electronics (http://allelectronics.com/) sells panflos cheap
currently 80mm for $4.50
