cheers again Duncan

erm it seems mixed opinions on the clickiness, but hopefully ill get non-clicky 4412s, cos apart from that they seem ideal for my case

(just ask Katana man he raves about the papst 4412 fgl's )

thanks again duncan

lol also, am i still able to perform the 5V/7V mod?

excellent thanks very much dukla2000; im glad its the same fan, thing is, i still dont understand the y-double connector :roll: :oops: erm here is the image of it if anyone could use that to explain it to me? I understand it is not a normal 4 pin molex connecter then? http://www.ekl-gmbh.de/data/ste...

here is the EKL page for said fan:
http://www.ekl-gmbh.de/frontend/produkt ... ng=0000002

Note the fan connector:
"y-Double Connector"
What's that!?

thanks again

Hi all :) As some know my planned system with 120mm fans is going ahead nicely, got my SLK3700 and cut out stamped fan grills; must say the case is a mile ahead of my Globalwin802 :shock: Onto the fans, I was going to get Papst 120mm 4pin 25mm "4412 FGL" at: http://www.koolnquiet.co.uk/index.php?mai...

Evenin all i am gettin an Antec Truepower 480W for its seperate voltage rails. But i see the 550W is only £10 more; if i went for this, would it be any louder? if so i won't get it :P ?? second, for a seperate PC, i need a 350W - 450W PSU, very silent :!: , cheap and more importantly, available in U...

:( oh well, I can handle a 2 degree increase (I wont be turning up fans to compensate though :P ) Thanks for everything Katana Man and everyone else. I just gotta wait for the AcoustiCase to come out, and examine its pricing. Im prepared to pay sub £130 sadly :? So to review: Acousticase Cut out gri...

Indeed you are! They all look good, but the D8000 is easily the sexiest of the lot :wink: Right now though, i'm not prepared to cut away the front bezel. Hopefully the front bezel of the Acousticase is sufficient.. http://www.acoustiproducts.com/images/products/acc6607/6607_front_black_s.gif What d'...

Excellent :o I know the rear is running at 4.9V. Thus I'll use my 5V molex adaptor on the exhaust :) I'd guess that the front is probably around 6V I supose I'll settle for my 7V molex adaptor on the intake then ;) Keep in mind, I have no fan grills, case vents are cut out, and no fan filters. The o...

Cheers Katana Man... Actually, I'm able to adjust it even more with my Zalman fan controller. Any approximations on the voltages for front and rear fans? I want to keep my computer simple by just using 7V and 5V fan converters, so would a 5V 4412 @ rear and 7V 4412 @ intake be okay (perhaps your vol...

great stuff, the man himself, katana Man :shock: I'm basing my silent rig on yours (lets hope!) Papst 4412's 120x25mm in front and back. Slow the rear one down as slow as possible. Run the front slightly faster than the rear, and hope that the PSU has enough ooomph to move air as well Thats exactly ...

Also, I much prefer the black colour to the Antec Metallic Brown :shock: It is much easier to match drives and its easy to get black floppy drives for instance. Also, it comes with no PSU reducing the price hopefully. Really, it comes down to how much they are charging for this pre-dampened case. If...

thanks for that Personally I feel that anybody who is serious about silencing would want a door Indeed, but Katana Man (as if hes my idle :roll: ) does not have a door and yet his rig is silent. Plus, I find I rarely use my CD drives as I prefer the no-hassle approach of no-cds :P If the AcoustiCase...

Last thing, I just came across the AcoutsiCase C6607A (beige) or B (black.)

This seems perfect as its the same as the SLK3700, only it comes pre-dampened. Ill be looking into this instead when its released mid-June.

How much do you reckon for it?

Regards

One more thing :wink: I PM'd katana man concerning this as well... As you must have read many times, right now my setup is: Case: Antec SLK3700 120mm Intake Fan (must be 25mm depth only): Papst 120mm 4pin 25mm "4412 FGL" 120mm Exhaust Fan (can be 25mm+ depth): Papst 120mm 4pin 38mm "4212 NGL" These ...

Actually I just browsed through some older threads and Katana Man said that Papst 120mm are the best as their fan blades go from thick near centre to thin near edge. So I think it'll be Papst 120mms @7V/5V

Regards


PS What is PWM?

lol! no problem mate

also, I just re-read that what makes the Panaflo 80mm fans so special has not carried on through to the 120mm version, so I'll settle for Papst 120mm in any case (erh no pun intended )

Regards

Thanks all remove fan filter??? Its because the very same Dorothy informed that they reduce airflow about 30% i think it was, and increase noise. I dont mind just giving it a clean every month or so. Just use one fan -- rear, exhaust. I will indeed start off with just one rear fan (the 120mm Papst 3...

so that all seems okay yea...? Case: Antec SLK3700 "Mods": Cut out front and rear fan grills, remove fan filter, drill real holes for 120mm fans, understand will need to cut a bit out of the edge of the side panel. Fans: Copied from previous post: Intake Fan (must be 25mm depth): Make: Papst Size: 1...

cheers bat :wink: well, using the rear fan as intake goes againt the conventions of case cooling!? Cool air comes in below, gets warmed and thus rises, is exhausted by rear fan. If i had rear fan blowing in, well, i dont wanna know! :shock: concerning the intake fan, it is true I may only have one e...

darn

ill probably try my luck anyway

aren't there any 120mm fans known NOT to click when undervolted? available in uk ofcourse

still, ill prob stick with papst.. if i did, what do you lot think of the above combination?

regards


PS cheers ralf, hope your back is gettin better too

I was thinking instead of using say a 7V 90mm fan on the SLK900, woudn't i be better off using a zalman fan bracket with a 120mm, 7/5v'd of course. as this would be quieter whilst pushing more air, and cool the mobo + graphics card I would suspect. is there any probs with this, am I missing somethin...

cheers again Ralf :P okay so heres the current situation... The Evercool I found out is NOT sleeve bearing, so I definately do not want that. Thus, I have narrowed it down to 2 papst fans: ---------------------------------- Intake (must be 25mm): Make: Papst Size: 120mm Connector: 4pin Depth: 25mm M...

nice one dinde!

what 120mm panaflos do you use in your case?

regards

just found out!
i can get this in the UK:

Panaflo 120mm FBA12G12M1A (38mm)

RPM: 2100
CFM: 86.5
Noise: 35.5dBa

Would this be better to replace my 7V Papst as the 35mm exhaust fan (@ 7V or 5V) ? You lot seem to praise Panaflo but not sure if this is the right one ?

Regards

great, cheers Ralf

i just wanted a bit of cooling for the HDs, that is all, so 5V should suffice

thanks again

regards

well, howz about this.. Antec SLK3700 Cut stock grills out use wire grill (i understand this cant be used with fan isolators ill sort that out, prob offset 45 degrees :roll: ) Intake Fan (must be 25mm:) Evercool 120mm 4pin 25mm @ 7V/5V (not too sure yet) using fan isolators Exhaust Fan (can be 25 or...

Can anyone find it in the UK ?

Also, what are its specs and at what voltage should I undervolt it to?

Regards

Hi everyone First post, but have been scanning through both the site and the great forums. Bear in mind I live in the UK, this is my idea for a quiet computer...
