can you confirm what is the fan voltage control range? i read somewhere else on this forum that the lowest voltage that can be acheived is 8V and not 5V as mentioned by you. oh and I am actualy interested in a dynamic range of 4V to 12V, if that is possible. As I mentioned above, if you are interes...

One board that should DEFINITELY be on this list is the Gigabyte GA-N680SLI-DQ6, for socket 775 Intel (nvidia 680i SLI board). Probably all the Gigabyte "Ultra Durable 2" boards should be here as well. The primary advantage is this: this board has no coil whine/cricket chirping noise at all when the...

Is it just me, or is the Noctua S12 range a turbine engine? I have a few of the high speed Noctua fans (S12-1200) and I think they are extremely quiet at low voltage. Quieter than my S-Flex when both are at 5 volts. Lots of airflow on the Noctua too. I did a little test where I stuck a 20x20 3M Fil...
