Small, Silent CPU Fan

MotherMayI · 29 Jul 2008 at 08:43

I've been looking around at the various CPU fans available for my Q6600 as the stock one is simply not doing a very good job and is very, very noisy.

I was going to go for the Tuniq Tower, as I value the quietness of the fan over anything else and I believed that would be my best option. However, I no longer think it will fit in my case due to the way in which the various PSU wires have to go around it (I am using an Antec PSU that came with the case, which is doing a very satisfactory job but has very short un-modular cables).

So, what would be the best bet for me to go for that is around the same size as the stock intel cooler but much quieter and more efficient?

If u find this fan I think that can be a very good deal. But I dont know where u can find.
I give details:
COOLER MASTER
Model: R4-L2R-20CK-GP
Color: Black
Leds: 4 leds blue
Dimensino: 120 x 120 x 25mm
Velocity: 2000 RPM

CFM: 90 CFM!!!!!!!!!!!
Sistem: Long life sleeve.

Can u imagine 90cfm with 19Db!!!

no I cant imagine 90cfm with 19Db! fan noise is very much dependent on how the manufacture tests the noise i.e. distance... probably standing in the next room when they done that one

You would have to imagine it, as it'll never happen

That's Coolermaster's website, of course the specs will be the same.

Not to mention the OP wants a new, small heatsink and not a 120mm fan... @ MotherMayI; http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...oling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775) if it will fit, it's a very good cooler.

if you go and read some reviews you will see that the 19db noise level is when the fan is in "silent mode" i.e. at 800RPM at which speed it is putting out significantly less than 90CFM..

Air moving @ 90CFM makes noise no two ways around it I am afraid

tbh that is very poor marketing on coolmasters part... thats like saying my delta's @ 3600RPM are silent if i go and stand outside

I meet the guy has 10 like that, so I think that is quite.
I'm try to ask the guys about the noise and I give the answer for u.
