well my tornado is less anoying than my 60mm deta
thats for sure

i dont have a delta 80 so i dont know what to tell you

tornado is nice...just pull the finger gaurd off it...it makes it quiter

or put washers to lift the grill away from the fan a little. i wouldnt remove the grill on that thing, it spins way too hard.

i like ur 'rigs'

ok...i think ill order a tornado in the next week.

thanks

 

[AZZKICKER]

I like German and Japanese cars

I have a Delta 80 however I don't have a Tornado 84 so I can't tell you the difference between them other than that 4 cfm > 5dBA. I don't use fan grills because as long as you organise your wires nothing will hit it, I also run a closed case (Panels on), so nothing will hit it.

wasnt this a discussion about a fan? how did this end up fixated on chevy vs ford? anyways the tornado is on annoying fan! im now sure how it measures up to the delta 80 but if theres 5dba of diffrence then one is twice as loud

 

[willlangford]

welll this is interesting...thanks for ALL the info..

I don't have a Delta 80mm, but I do have 8000rpm 60mms. Man they SCREAM. Its not that they are that loud, it's really the pentrating whine they put out.......

I have an 80mm Tornado with nothing stealth about it It seems louder, yet less annoying than the Deltas: no whine.
I sure am glad I keep all of them in the basement: I couldn't take any of them in my office for long!

My workstation is, of course water-cooled

 

[o0OBruceLeeO0o]

go dae woo!!! (kidding) I am going with the tornado myself, sound doesnt bother me

 

[xbiker321]

wow your ears are made out of steal. My quite 4000rpm 30dba is kinda loud to me. If i dare buy a Delta/Tornado my ears would be bleeding, seriously

 

[o0OBruceLeeO0o]

will the 84cfm cool better than water?

 

[willlangford]

HELL NO...water is the best...i want to get water..but a new moniter and a secondary box is coming first..

[rogerdugans]

will the 84cfm cool better than water?

No. But it can come close: I have mine on an AX7 which was lapped. Its cooling an XP1700@1710 and usually runs within 1c of my H2O rig-XP1600@1927.

Ambient is higher where the water rig is, and vcore is higher.
And I can sit right next to it without bleeding ears, unlike the cellar, which is noisier on the pc side than it is on the laundry side

 

[o0OBruceLeeO0o]

is it really that loud? Sounds (no pun intended) like im in for a treat.

 

[willlangford]

fans get loud in a hurry, thats all i am saying...

~Will

 

[willlangford]

d00d go to the chevy thread...

 

[metra]

With an ax-7, does it really matter if you get Tornado 84 or Delta 80? Anyone have both fans?

 

[TimDgsr]

i'm sure there's barely a difference between the delta 80 and the tornado

4cfm?

 

[metra]

yeah thats what i thought so it does really matter which one i get =]... tornado's less expensive.
