Building a new system and wondering how fan noise adds up.
Found a good deal on some Vantec Stealth fans so was wondering if getting five of these (replace the generic ones) would be quieter than two (standard) or three (if needed) regular ones.
Total airflow numbers work out pretty close but thinking that the more spread out five fans would be better at cooling and noise doesn't 'add' up like numbers so might be more quiet.
I'll wait until I get the system up and see how the temps are, but just toying with the idea now.
Thanks
