home theatre PC?
Hey guys ive been trying to do a bit of research on 120mm pc case fans. Just wondering if you other techies out there can point me in the direction on a really quite fan.....preferably noiseless.....(yes they do exist) most are showing up as 20db which is to high and still quite noisy. cheers in advance

nah...although its a possibility....Im just trying to optimize everything......ive got everything running schmick with all good high end parts and then this loud fan noise which they threw in which cost $5.....and it wont be long before I yank it out......grrrr, haha
have to buy the expensive ones, ball bearing not brush.
also get ones with a sensor, so the speed varies with temp rises and falls.
dont by the cheap $10 led ones
my case has 5 of them and a 200mm fan, sounds like a jumbo taking off

what you think of this one Pete ? standard 6.8db....3 times lower than the regular ebay jobs.
looks the goods, i'd be worried about those speeds though, the ones i have spin up to 1200-1500rpm (could explain the noise)
this is when the machine is under full load though, under idle they sit at about 500rpm or so

set up right you should be right.
the case is going to be the most important bit.
if you can get a good flowing case, and have one fan sucking cold air in, and the other blowing hot air out
it shouldnt put as much load on them, and still keeping good temps
