    Best silent fan ?

    just fitted a zalman heatpipe to my 9700pro so no noise there, have set my maxtor 9 to silent so it's not making any noise either is the adda 40mm in the PSU , all in all the SS51G is nearly silent ecept the 80mm fan on the back, thinking about ordering the S4 noiseblocker thing, anyone got one, are they silent on lowest setting ? any better fan for the job ?

    You might find this link usefull : http://shuttle.ece-it.nl/fanlist/index.htm Created by the SFFTech members @ sudhian.

    My personal opinion is the NMB's won't move enough air, I would go with an L1A and use speedfan if you find it too noisy.

    btw : I have ordered before from the link msaeger posted, very friendly service and good prices.

    My S4 looks after a 3.06

    Temps are less of a problem with P4's. Think the last time I checked it was around 55 under full load.
