Hi guys, I have a Dell Inspiron 530 (got it cheap before you ask why I didn't build it myself
) and the CPU fan is a Delta AFB0812SH. Max air flow is 47 CFM at 40db, but obviously it's controlled by the system so never gets this loud. However, it's still too much for my liking, and I'm looking for an equivalent 80mm 4pin (thermal management type, not molex) fan that I can replace it with.
I've sort of accepted that this might involve ripping the fan off another cooler to get the 4-pin one I need, but that's OK. At the moment I've got the fan from an old Akasa AK-961 on there, but the specs don't differ too much from the Delta, and it's easily the loudest part of my system at the moment.
Thanks
