Case Fans - What to look for?

Egon · 17 May 2007 at 14:58

I'm looking for a quiet case fan to act as an exhaust at the back of the case. First of all, this is a 2nd PC, not going to be used for anything extreme so my main concern is quiet - prefereably almost silent !

Can anyone reccomend me something quiet, I have to admit case fans aren't exactly something i've ever bought !

For ultimate quietness watercooling would be the way to go.

Yeah but I don't want to spend money on a 2nd PC that is only do a little bit of serving. My main rig doesn't even have watercooling.

Silent. Even on full whack.

Noctua 12cm fans with the inline resistor are silent. Mightn't move the most air but they are quiet!

i use 2x Scythe S-FLEX 1600RPM and there the quietest ive used and ive had most from ocuk

not cheap but they do shift some serious air and are near inaudible
