YS Tech 8125 Silent Fan
Posted: Tue Dec 24, 2002 2:50 am
Hi All,
Just thought I would let you know that this fan on paper looks great.
20db 27CFM 1850RPM
However, it vibrates like a bucking bronco. I installed one into the front of my Coolermaster ACTS201 and it sounded like a train.
My initial impressions were great as I had it running in free-air, and it certainly is very quiet, but as soon as it comes into contact with a solid surface like a desk or aluminium chassis then the vibrations take over.
I have tried mounting in on pieces of cut out mouse-mast to act as a shock absorber - but no joy. The only effective way to use this fan in near to silent mode is to mount it with blue-tack.
YES it is cheap (£6) - but the cost saving is not by you but buy YSTech in build quality.
Oh well, once again I learn the hard way. You get what you pay for...
