my comp usa been closed bout 2 weeks now. nothing was there except racks and empty boxes, and wireing hanging around..lol
looked like the grinch been in town stealing all the Who's goodies
as of right now i have 2 exhaust fans and 1 intake(unpluged that noise maker on the side panel). is it better to have more exhaust or more intake?
the exhaust on the top of the case is only going at 845rpms. it is pluged into the mobo. thinking of moving it to the side panelas a intake.

Well if you have more exhaust than intake more air will automatically intake through the vents. If there aren't many vents in your case, then you should have the intake and exhaust balanced to about the same air exhausting as intaking.

On the fan links
2400rpm? LOUD. If it's only pushing 69CFM at that too, that's appalling. The FM121 pushes well over 100CFM at the same speed.
The first Antec one is out of stock, Silenx are a bit crap for fans. The Radioshack link to the Tricool is good though, didn't spot that.
Of all those, the SilenX is by far the worst, shortly followed by the first link posted. Get the tricool
Herrick: The S-Flex is a really decent fan, but if you want real quiet, you'll have to go with a lower speed version like the 1200rpm SFF21E. The 1600rpm version pushes plenty of air but is not quite so quiet.
Greensman: Yes, my mate Nick has the Aerocool 140mm fans, they're superb, really quiet, lots of air. If I had an RC-690, those are the fans I'd buy.

That depends which fan controller, most will melt or catch fire if you attach a delta because they use a much power as a midrange graphics card at idle.
If you're not going to use that speed, why buy one in the first place?
So far I think one of the only controllers to support the Delta fans is the Sunbeam Rheobus.

If you want insane airflow without having your ears removed, use a Silverstone FM121. They're loud at full speed, but not Delta loud.

yesturday when i open my case to reset the Cmos, i only then realized that my fan is making all the noise, i thought it was the cpu fan.
Anywho, after nvidia release 9600GT, do you guys think ATI is still a good choice?

i don't see why, with the recent price drops.
3870 or 9600GT, which ever one you buy, i dont matter as the customer wins, with superb mid-range gfx, and low prices.

The 9600GT is almost as fast as the HD3870 and often cheaper, so realistically seems a better bet.

shaffaaf,
Quote:
- Speed - 4000RPM
- Output - 190 CFM
- Decibels - 59dBA
- Dimensions - 120x120x38
59dBA and 4000 RPM! That is one loud mother frogger! For high airflow, the Silverstone FM121 would be a much better and quieter choice. More airflow than the Delta, but at less than 1/3 the RPMs (aprox 68CFM @1300 RPM) They also come with their own fan control! No LEDs though!
Best Regards,
Russ

59dB is like having a car engine in your room, and not even at idle either.
For absolute silence from more than a foot away, you need about 17-18dB. Bear in mind decibels are a logarithmic scale. 21dB is twice as loud as 18dB.
As for this one, I'm in complete accord with Russ on the FM121, the Deltas are useless beside it.

it is. Seriously. The FM121s are unpleasant to work in and are louder than any stock PC I've ever seen, when they're at full speed. A Delta can completely drown even a pair of 121s.

holy mother, it's bloody loud! but the air flow is bloody good tho.
@abuzar1 i can't believe you are able to handle that kind of noise.
btw in the vid, is the fan on full speed? I wonder how loud it would be on low

The top delta fans sound like a full speed Antec Tricool at about 6.5V, a normal fan at about 4V, and can never run at the same noise level as a low speed fan because the bearings are too noisy.
