I need a quiet 80mm fan. which one?

Clean_Baldy · 09-22-04, 11:47 AM

My dads computer has an 80mm case fan/CPU fan (Ducting on a dell) and it is slowly dying. His computer is starting to freeze up due to overheating.

My question to all of you...

What 80mm fan can I get for him that is quiet, but will give me some good air flow?

Links please

Thanks everyone!

Go with an 80MM Panaflo Medium CFM. Here's a LINK

definitely Panaflo. It flows nearly as much as air as the ones with the highest airflow and is a extremely quiet. I have a Sanyo Denki that blows extremely hard but is so noisey that it is intolerable. I took it off my heat sink on my cpu and replaced with the panaflo. My cpu temperature only went up about 1 or 2 degrees celsius but the noise reduction was dramatic.

Panaflo is a good choice , the fan pressure is very good for the rated cfm , if you need an even quieter fan link below.... Good Luck .
