Your PC ATM

[pantherx12]

They're made by Silenx, model is Ixtrema.

120mm spins 1400rpm and moves 90cfm 18dba.

Got a 92 that is 18dba for around 44 cfm

and got a little 60mm 14dba for 16cfm


The fans come with fan screws and silicon plugs if you want no vibrations.

They're more expensive then normal fans, but you can get them from specialtech.co.uk.

I plan on using these for ALL my fans eventually.

They'll be nice on a tripple radiator eventually eh?

18dba @ 90cfm!?!?

 

[Chicken Patty]

Nice thanks for the info panther. That's good airflow for not much noise

I, er, well, er,....hmmm

looks at box of gentle typhoons just delivered from specialtech.



Bugger.

Send them back man!

If you send of for an RMA within 14 days you can return something for NO reason under long distance selling regulations!

Reason for return, Inadequate for my needs : ]


You can be liable for a restocking fee sometimes but its worth a boot!



And yes 18dba! I can't even hear it if I hold itin my hands! only the air moving makes a noise.
Pretty amazing, the smaller ones make NO noise its unreal.

I'm going to use these for all fans other then 1 on my sunbeam project!

I'm having a 20cm for for front intake

adam99leit - That is a really clean looking build. I like the way you use zip ties to tidy up your SATA cables. That PSU is pretty sweet looking as well. Almost bought one my self.

Hey Panther, why is your heatsink oriented in that direction? RAM too tall?

 

[pantherx12]

That was with the x3220, I got better temps that way for some reason ha ha.

Also meant the graphics heatsink is cooled nicely.

At the moment in my AMD rig ( 905e @ 3ghz at the moment) with GPU under full load and CPU at full load I get

32c cpu core temps ( all 4) and the graphics sits at around 45 underload with 910/1250 over clocks .

Same cooling only with an AMD board and AMD proccessor.

Thats interesting... ive had those fans (and I literally have 25fans in my box'o'nerd) and i found them to be awful with respect to airflow and noise - they were really pretty and had a small bearing, but the specs i felt were horribly overstated.

My aerocool xtreme turbines spanked the in every way and were rated for 80cfm at 32 db.

But they work for you?

hmmm... maybe I got lemons. Mine buzzed, especially upside down...

 

[pantherx12]

Yeah they work perfectly !

Knocked 10c of my load and idle temps with my 3220.

 

[phanbuey]

Im curious... now i wanna buy one just to see lol.

 

[pantherx12]

You did get these ones right?

[sneekypeet]

Im sorry, but 18dB possibly, but 18dBA is unheard of in fans, hell a Noctua at idle (7V) is louder than that, they come in at the 35dBA range. Sorry but I have to call *couch BS cough*

 

[pantherx12]

Well as I said, I can barely hear them. they're quieter then my Hiper fans that only move 48 cfm!

 

[Chicken Patty]

thing was panther went partially deaf when he modded the case with the noise of the dremel and stuff like that. So he can't hear anything very well

 

[sneekypeet]

just looked at a few charts, and 25dBA is compared to the noise heard from a man breathing 3 foot away, and I would imagine needing a soundproof room to even detect that.

[sneekypeet]

thats why I threw up the flag....lol. I would believe 18dB as that converts to about 35-40 dBA. That is extremely possible, but half the noise of a man breathing 3 foot away, those fans should cost $300 a piece, and their engineers should get medals.

I agree. Crap! unless its not dba and maybe some other form of measuring noise perhaps?

 

[sneekypeet]

dB or the abreviation for decibel is more typical.

dB(A) is an adjusted scale lets say. It filters out all the low end rustle of life outside a soundproof room.

While there is no formula to convert one to the other, I find my dBA testing just about doubles the dB rating of the fan.

 

[pantherx12]

As I said, when holding the fan in my hands, I can barely hear it.

yeah im kinda crazy for cable management if you look in one of the picks all sata power and front panel stuff is put under the ledge for the back panel so you never see anything going to the front accept the sata data which i zip tied together so it looks nice

 

[sneekypeet]

18dBA is more like ZOMG is it on, if you can bearly hear it, I'm saying its in the 30-40dBA range

No worries panther, Im not singling you out, Im just trying to make sure people know what they are buying. From what you say, I have to believe its a simple slip of the A key

 

[pantherx12]

Okay since I can't be arsed to take the biggest one out my case, I just plugged in the 92 mm one rated for 16dba, its pretty much noiseless.

Much less then a man breath from 3 feet away.

infact, its close to noiseless.

 

[twicksisted]

ok heres my setup tonight... i basically built a room in the basement for the pcs and gear... (and my fishtank)... anyways i have 3 systems in this room that we use for lan and online gaming.

My main rig is in my specs specs... the other rig with blue lighting and LEXA case is:
NZXT Lexa Case
Intel E7400 @ 3.6ghz
4GB Corsair Dominator 1066mhz
PC Power & Cooling 600w silencer

Asus P5K-E mobo
Saitek Eclipse & Razor Copperhead with golitahus mousemat

Other rig is a dell with onboard hehe... use it as a server right now but will replace it soon

EDIT: have to add one of the fishtank thats behind all my computer mess... they like watching the screens and music hehe
