What 80mm fan to get?

[Silvel2edge]

I just bought the most powerful 80mm delta fan that blows 81cfm. It's kind of too loud when i want to watch Dvd's in my room, so i'm going to get an 80mm that's a little less powerful. What would you guys recommend? I heard some good things about the Sunon 80mm that's about 40cfm... any suggestions out there? Thanks.

im really want to know how loud it is... everyone says there loud but how loud can they be.. do me a fav and put a mic next to ur comp and record it.. i REALLY want to know.. because all these readings people are giving is no good sence i cant compare them to anything..

now back to u..

from what i know the bigger the fan is the slower it needs to spin to get the same amount of air in.. maybe u should think about a 120m fan...

www.sidewindercomputers.com - click on hear our fans on the left, they have the 80 cfm delta recorded along with many others to compare it to.

The 40cfm Sunon is a good one. Very quiet.
