Question about DB of fans

BringTheRain · 13 Dec 2009 at 00:25

I have got some 17.5db fans in my pc at the moment and they are on a fan controller. I am looking at some other fans and they are 30db! i can still put them on a fan controller. But am i right in thinking they are gonna be twice as loud???? Or there abouts twice as loud???

Thanks

Oh plop. I have ordered the wrong ones from an auction site, as OCUK dont sell em

I have emailed the seller, as the fans i wanted were like an extra 60p each lol. Just hope he swaps em

Thanks tho

Well I have got the green 4 led akasa fans 120mm and they are perfect for my needs. Rated at like 17db. I've ordered the wrong fans in red led and they are 30db. The other ones are 17db

. I'm hoping he willchange them for me. But he may not

Yeah but these are the same make and size. One is 17db and the other is 30db. So they are gonna be louder even if turn them right down. If he doesn't swap em out. I will re order and sell em
