I am looking for the absolute quietest GPU cooler. I am using an eVGA 7800 GT CO (factory overclocked 7800gt). Space is of no real concern, I have all free slots in front of the video card. What would be the absolute quietest cooler I could use with it?

The 800rpm S-flex fans are inaudible over the AeroCool and Coolink. All 120mm except the AeroCool which is going to be replaced with a 120mm using an 80 to 120mm adapter. The case is an NZXT Lexa. I can't remove any fans, I am skimping as it is. The PC is: Opteron 165 overclocked to 2.8GHz, with a N...

Ok, I just ordered two of the Nexus fans which I will use on my CPU and PSU. The other S-flex fans I will keep, the ones rated at 8.7dba, which is probably not true, but I am going to guess, they ARE quieter than the nexus, and they are indeed 800rpm.

Awwww crap... so the S-flex fans are not the quietest 120mm? Ok, then I have two questions. First, what is the QUIETEST 120mm fan PERIOD, and second, what is the quietest 120mm fan that pushes a halfway decent amount of air? And for reference, what is the quietest 80mm fan PERIOD, and what is the qu...

Ok, now I am getting somewhere. My system used to have the following fans: (3) Scythe S-FLEX SFF21D (8.7dBA each) (1) Coolink SWiF 1202 (24 max dBA) (1) AeroCool Aerolite BB (rated at 26dBA, but sounds louder) (1) Zalman VF700-Cu video card cooler, fan set to the quiet setting (20.35 max dBA) It wil...

Thanks. Quick question. To determine the noise level of a PC, lets say you have two fans in it that are both rated at 20dBA (lets assume that is accurate). Would the total noise level be 20dBA or 40dBA? Also, while searching for quiet fans, I see some with the airflow measured in m³/h instead of cf...

What about using an 80mm to 120mm adapter? I finally found something: http://www.svc.com/fa80120-uvblu.html Will that allow me to have a 120mm fan sticking out the back of the PSU? Also, I am in need of the quietest possible 80x80x15mm fan there is. I run a small server, and it's PSU uses one of the...

Ok so basically I need a new fan for my power supply. I made this thread at another forum, so I will link to it instead of typing it again: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=240376 Also, if anybody is interested in knowing what the other fans in my case are, it would be: (3) Scythe S-FL...

Helpful thread, thanks
