Guys,

I need your help. I'm having thoughts of changing my CPU fan. At this moment I have put the highly prassed orange nexus fan on my Scythe Ninja, but I want to try the IBL® Fan 12/1000 LED. REason is that I don't like the orange color and I realy like the tranparant look of the IBL fan. IBL fans are a generic brand of the company Mr. Silent Computing a.k.a. Mr. Computertechnik (the German version with the webiste: ichbinleise.de), which is specialazid in silent computing. Here is a Dutch link with the specs of the fan. It claimes to produce 19 dB with and is ballbearing.

Are there among the SPCR members experenciences with the IBL fan? Do you think is worth the trying?

Ball bearing fans usually make more noise than fans with bushings.

Thanks Diver for your answer. I already understand the difference between sleevebvearing and ballbearing fans. So I presume that you mean 'fans with bushins' you mean 'sleevebearing fans'?
