need 9cm fan

[Cyber-Mav]

im after a good 9cm fan thats not loud but still shifts a lot of air. any ideas on what would be best for me?

nexus/yateloon are always highly recommended.

ahh, whats the cfm on those fans and noise?
so far best iv found is the noiseblocker sx2 but its expensive.

I got the Silverstone FN91, quiet and push decent cfm (its rated at 26 dBa/36,89cfm), quite cheap too (about 2 quid something)

might just go for this fan:

35cfm @ 22db.

anyone know of a better fan that can push more air for the same amount of noise? don;t want to exceed 25db, and the lower the noise the better.

well the best ive seen so far is the noiseblocker se2 which is 37cfm @ 22db.
gonna do some more looking around but looks like the noiseblocker is the one i will be going for.

a lot of the figures for fans are very misleading. I would not trust what most of them say.

what the?? just done some reaearch and it seems that the coolink fans are actually made by noiseblocker

Is this for your hr-03 cyber? Thought you were running a 120mm on it?

I was using a Zalman 92mm attached to a fanmate, can be run as quiet as you want.

We also tested the 92mm Akasa Amber fan, which is purported to move 29cfm of air at 18dBA at its fixed speed of 1,400rpm. In our tests, the 92mm Amber produced a respectable 24.1dBA of noise and 25cfm of airflow, which makes it one of the most efficient 92mm fans available, and definitely worth checking out.
