Recently i've seen these fantastic simple devices on sale that let you push air down 80mm/90mm and even a godamned 120mm fans to a 60mm heatsink. I want to know if these are overall better than 60mm fans.
I have a 7.2k delta fan but do not use it because of the insane noise & vibration levels. Would an adapter with an 80/90mm fan reduce sound and vibrations but still keep a good cfm going?
And has anyone actually tried out one of these adapters yet? They are pretty cheap for what they are atm.
ThermoEngine w/ Taisol 23cfm 5.5k fan IDLE ... 31°C MAX ... 39°C
ThermoEngine w/ Delta 37cfm 7.2k fan IDLE ... 30°C MAX ... 33°C
As you can see there is a massive difference. But the sound and vibration levels are at least twice with the delta fan.
Another thing is that my delta fan doesnt quite fit my ThermoEngine. How can I rectify this weird problem?
