Not trying to be nasty but that one looks tacky!

I beg to differ.

Scythe S-Flex range is probably one of the quietest you can get. See here;

LOL, those fans are worth 25 quid between both of them!!! Anything cheaper?

Well, you get what you pay for with fans in my experience.

Get an Arctic Cooling 1225 for the front (5V it) and an Arctic Cooling Fan 12 for the back (and 5V it). It should be less than £10 the pair incl. delivery.

Yate Loon D12 SL12. Can be had for $2.99 if you import them.

I haven't been able to find the Artic Cooling ones.

The other ones (Yate Loon 120mm) I have noticed make 28db that is not as good as others that I have seen like the Akasa / Coolermaster.

I managed to find those Arctic Cooling ones at last.

And also, I better ask now that I have the chance.

Will there be any problems fitting a EVGA 7950GX2 on the PC-7 Plus?

Thanks again

Never listen to the specs. Ever. According to thermaltake they do 80cfm fans at 21db.

Yate loons are better than Akasa Ambers.

Much better. At 5V they are silent, and I mean silent.

I don't think they are truly silent. They might be almost inaudible, but silent - no. I think they will make some noise (even if only very close up).

Thats right, but its better to say silent

How can you change it from 12V to 5V?

Google for 5V fan mod. There are dozens of sites showing how it's done. I thought it used to be a sticky on here too, but I just looked and couldn't find it. It's just a case of swapping two leads over on the fan PSU connector.

http://www.cpemma.co.uk/7volt.html Thats how to 7 volt it. To 5 volt it, simply run it between the 0 volt and the 5 volt line.

This one you mean?

 

[jaykay]

use a fan controller or if good at soldering add a resistor though some fans dont start at 5v

 

[Ezyryder]

Would a fan controller be enough? I don't really want to start doing mods. I had a look and they seem easy, but I want "easiest"

Thanks for the help though! Really appreciated
