Looking for good quality 92mm 3000-ish rpm pwm fan

Having a bit of trouble since 92mm seems to be less popular these days. I ran into a few sleeve fans and some deltas that do 4800rpm but the really fast ones will have trouble running at slower speeds. it would be nice to be able to idle under 1000rpm if possible at low temps but it's not 100% necessary since I can set the video card to 0 rpm at under 40c if I must. Low power draw is good since it'll be nice to be able to run off the card header but I'm looking into a custom cable that may stop power limit from being an issue. Thanks!

EDIT: This would be perfect if it was around 2800rpm and half the power draw https://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod...ta fan&cm_re=delta_fan-_-35-213-014-_-Product

i emailed evga to ask about the limit of the fan plug on the video card. hopefully i get lucky and it can do 1.08a and run 3 of the 3800rpm deltas. i know fan plugs are usually 1a so maybe not. i guess since i won't be running them full speed they wont take that much but it'll be close.
 
Noctua has 2200 rpm pwm fans. Nothing above that speed that I can recommend.
 
Long life sleeve whatever that means. 40000 hour mtbf is decent and i can set to card to 0 rpm during idle. Hopfully good enough.
 
To be honest I'd rather not compromise on the fans. I'd like to use the deltas if possible. Is there any reason a sata powered pwm hub won't work with the video card if I use a 4 pin gpu to 4 pin full size pwm adapter? i use this in my case to run all of my fans with pwm control from a single motherboard header. I mean, the video card is just a small motherboard with a different connector right?

That's a good idea. Should be mint :thup:
 
Ok sweeet. Now how the hell do I mount the fans to my accelero? :p
 
I actually did this before after seeing your thread back in the day. I totally forgot! Anyhow the stuff is ordered. Now I need to find a noise cancellation device tuned to the sound of a 3800rpm fan.

EDIT: It just dawned on me that feeding the fans with external juice will free up the power limit of the card for overclocking. This should be interesting.

Ziptie Screws!I did a photoessay on them here: https://www.overclock.net/forum/246-air-cooling/753254-ziptie-screw.html

At the 4th pic down you get a closeup of one. What would have been the first pic never made it. There's a nice video, too. Except I would have assembled the ziptie screw before cutting off ends.

freeagent had it right -- zipties!

Man that is sweet. I like that. It kind of reminds me of that time I saw that video that shows you the "proper" way to use a hand held can opener. Mind = Blown. So simple it seems right. I know what I'm doing this weekend :D

Thanks!

As for freeing up power limits, that's pretty sweet.. I would turn off the lights on it too if it made a worthwhile difference :thup:
 
. . . Now I need to find a noise cancellation device tuned to the sound of a 3800rpm fan. . . .
Your noise-reducing device is the fact that the fans are PWM. They run 500-3800 RPM, with most of their time spent at 500 RPM. For that, you do not need noise cancellation.

If you are planning on using the PWM signal from your GPU, do not expect to have accurate fan control at all unless the fan RPMs are the same as the stock fan the vBIOS raises/lowers the PWM till it sees the fan RPMs it expects
I tried to find a ideal solution, but as of now i am using the fan control switch built into my Define R4 case

BTW if want to make the most of your power limit in addition to powering the fan via sata/molex turn the rgb leds off they are a waste of power
