Re: [SLUG] quiet case fans
1. make sure there is a clear path for the airif there isnt a clear path through the box you end up with a air pressure in-balance causing the fans to work harder and so they are noisy. 2. dont setup all the fans so they either blow or suck air from the box they should be in such a way that there is just as much air going in via a fan than out. 3. If you have an un-balanced fan often simple things like adding rubber spacers to the screw nuts between the case and the fan works wonders. 4. You can actually buy balanced fans and tested fans often you can spot them by the small drill indents in them were the fan shaft is. (I think they use lasers now to do the balancing ) 5. If all fails stop buying cheap fans you tight wad..lol To round it off high rpm and or large fans are the noisy onesmany people go for the one small/medium fan at stupid overly fast rpm ratings and then wonder why the things don't last and are noisy as hell. What do I use.2 well balanced large low rpm fans with rubber standoffsnow to just figure out how to stop the hardisk annoying me. On Thu, 2002-10-31 at 23:32, Russell Davie wrote: Hi there..

Re: [SLUG] quiet case fans
I should have said get noisy due to less air flow thus the fans run hotter as they run faster with less airflow and the bearings stuff up faster.

Actually, fans rotate faster in a partial blockage due to the blades running in less air, therefore less friction. (This is why when you put your hand over the end of a vacuum cleaner, the revs increase.) As a rule the plain bearing fans are quieter than ball bearing fans, until the oil dries out, then noisier. (you can oil fans by peeling off the sticker in the centre of the rotor, removing plug, then 1 drop of silicon oil. Do not overoil.) The more expensive fans have better designed blades. the Pabst fans have blades that reduce the tip flutter for instance, so they run more quietly.

Try poking around overclockers.com.au. There's a few places that sell extreme cooling kits over the web in AU.
