Silencing Vantec Aeroflow even more
I've bougth a Vantec Aeroflow since it got good review for being silent and also great cooling capabailities. Since I am planning to OC my new Barton, I need good cooling. So, how can I make Aeroflow quieter while keeping it as effective? If I get a Panaflow would I lose some cooling on this? What else can I do?

My best suggestion would be to try and use air that is as cool as possible for the Aeroflow intake. That might mean ducting in fresh air and/or optimizing case airflow. Search the forums for the words "duct*", "undervolt*", "temp*", etc...
You should be able to undervolt the fan a little extra and further reduce noise.
If your using the blower w/ an Aeroflow HS, you may be giving up a few degrees of cooling. The SLK-800/900 is still a more efficient heatsink.
