I'm looking to move upto a Barton 2500, and currently I have an SK-6 with an 80mm YS-Tech fan (3000 rpm, 45.2CFM, 34.2dBA)... do I:-
- Stick with what I have
- Slap an X-blower fan onto the SK6
- Get an Aero 7 Lite
I don't really want a fan louder than 35dBA... are these blower fans really that much better?
What should I do?![]()

I don't know the SK6, is that comparable to the Thermalright AX-7/SLK800, Alpha PAL 8045/8942 and Swift MCX462+? If not I'd plump for one of those or the superbly efficient (esp on the pocket) Volcano 11 HSF (£15). In terms of fans Smart Fan 2 (as used on Volc11) gets my vote but Vantec 's Aeroflow is also VERY good thanks to its superb design. I would suggest you try your current HSF combination with the Barton and see what it can do, if you need/want something more then my recs would be the Volcano 11 or a Smart Fan 2 on a Thermalright SLK-800 (great HS and easy to mount too).
