Didn't vote for preference is the 120x38mm Sunon Tornado . As you probably know, the Vantec Tornado are exactly the same except for the sticker and higher price. My preference is to get the highest CFM fan I can find and then tone it down with a rheostst. That way you can have the high air flow when...

Thanks though.


Yeah, it's the same review of course.

But I thought it might be more accessible to new readers here
as my other post is at the end of a 169 post thread. :mrgreen:

I have always used 7200rpm IBM hard drives without any
problems whatsoever. :mrgreen:

Hadn't even considered a hard drive being a noise source
until I used my bud's system which had Western Digital drives.
Yucky! :roll:

Cool, can you get a wiring diagram for us "electronically challenged" ?? This sounds like something I would like, I currently have 1 5/12v switch at the rear of my computer but having it in front with multiple switches would be cool. This article has excellent guides & schematics of many types of f...

Another vote for Enermax.;mrgreen:

Even at full speed they're nice and quiet. Then when you adjust
the speed ... silence! 8)
Furthermore, they produce lower frequency sound than most fans.

Lower frequencies are generally more pleasing to the ear than
higher pitched ones.

300w FORTRON outperformes 460w Enermax !! ...

. Hi all ... since there are so many other Fortron fans here, thought I'd present yet another shining review. 8) For those interested, SystemCooling.com reviewed two Fortron units, the FSP300-60PN and FSP530-60GNA. Believe it or not, the 300w Fortron unit with the 120mm fan beat the Enermax EG465AX-...

If I may ... what is meant by "running at 5v"?

Have you modded the PSU to supply all it's power to only
one rail? I have heard of people doing that before.

Offroad, you might give CoolCases.com a try for the 350w Fortron.... Katana Man and others say he's a good guy to deal with and ships to Canada too, if my memory serves me correctly :roll: No wonder that vendor didn't show in a search.

Ummm, please see my post 8 messages prior to this one. In particular, Coolcases.com has them in stock now, albeit for $55, not $48. I paid the premium not to wait for the month and my 350W arrives this afternoon. ThanX! ... the manner which the lynk was presented within the body of the sentence wit...
