92mm fan suggestions for my xp-90

Post by illmatiC » Thu Sep 22, 2005 1:19 pm

system specs:
P180 w/ all stocks fans on low & CoolerMaster SUF-S12 added as intake
6600GT w/ loud ass stock fan (will be replaced with VF700-CU later)
3500+ New Castle w/ XP-90 currently fanless

what 92mm fans will give me the most airflow possible at 25db max? also is it best to have the fan pushing air onto the heatsink or sucking air from the heatsink?

thanks,

Sorry about the confusion, I mean't at stock volts (12V), w/o any undervolting.

The guy is asking for the fan that blows the most CFM at low voltage, remaining under 25db.

Nexus isn't it....or Yate Loon either. At 5v these two fans have a pathetic CFM.

Check this thread. I'd guess that with the exception of the Deltas, any fan in that list blows more CFM than the Yate Loons...and is still under 25db at 5V.

This fan has some impressive numbers. I am wondering if they are actually true?

45.2CFM @ 25.4dBa, click here for source

Welcome to SPCR.....

You cannot use mfg specs concerning db for anything.....almost all are lies. Also running most fans slightly below 12v will quiet them down a bunch.

The JMC has the lowest top speed of the fans I listed, and perhaps the lowest cfm? I have all three and remember them as being very similar in noise, but you can't really go by mfg. specs, although top speeds are usually accurate. The noise ratings are suspect, but the JMCs are industrial fans that happen to be quiet. They are just not advertised like nexus and silenx. - FG

Unfortunately my experience would not concur with "inaudiblness" of the MadDogs @ 5v. My pair are simply of Nexus quailty...but not suprising considering the price difference.
