Best 120mm fan?

[Death] · 24 Mar 2006 at 10:57

what would be the best and strongest 120mm fan, not bothered about noise, just has to push a lot of air

So loud! You must have it in a huge room, or next to heathrow airport

[Death] · 24 Mar 2006 at 12:46

i got my speakers normaly up loud (200watt rms logitec) or my headphones on, so dont notice the noise

, i would go to watercooled, but never even attempted it before and water vs electric sounds bad

danceMB · 24 Mar 2006 at 12:58

Its fine if you use distilled water, but the problems only occur if one of the water-cooled components fail, because if they do then your chip will cut out, but might not cut out in time to save the chip, as I painfully found out. Im going back to air myself after having my fingers burnt.

If you dont mind the noise aspect, maybe you should consider phase-change cooling? Im sure the serious hardcore O/C'ers could tell you more, but only if you can afford the hefty £500 price tag. On the upside, you make that money back with the level of O/C'ing you can perform

Can you hear a hoover over your speakers if it is about 5 foot away?

If you can you won't like the delta, because it could drown out the hoover with ease

YEah i 2nd that, they are lound enough at 7v let alone 12v. Id get a louder Speaker setup mate, try 1000rms that sound dim the sound from the Delta.

My friend has a delta, when he turned his computer on I thought "Wow, mine is quiet but I cant even hear yours" I then realised I had gone temporarily deaf*

*This may or may not be true

i use a YStech 120mm fan i got from OcUK, it is audible, but its not really loud, and p;ushes 125cfm, so im happy

WatchTower · 24 Mar 2006 at 23:45

Can I lower that noise with a fan speed controler making the RPM less for when I'm doing less CPU stressfull tasks?

bbreezeuk · 25 Mar 2006 at 10:33

not with the delta as it uses a 4 pin molex connector

Manifest · 25 Mar 2006 at 10:36

Arr no not someone else thinks its a good idea to get a delta :rolleyes:
