80mm tornado with rhoebus, how effective?

[Richdog]

I've been racking my brains on what fan to get to cool my cpu and as i was looking at the tornado specs i murmured a quick prayer to the lord as i saw its 55dba rating. Then it naturally got me thinking about using a rhoebus and what i was wondering is... if a Tornado pushes 85CFM at 55dba, how many CFM will it push at 30-35dba? Will it be more than a standard fixed speed 30-35dba fan? If anyone has answers id be interested to know please.. :beer:

i get 41-43 with them on 7v
then 39-40 with them at max
they push a great amount of air at an acceptble noise (for me, im deaf now)

I think it does have a better bearing system than most generic fans, but it shouldn't push that much more air than a generic 32-35dB fan. The rheobus is only to have the option of silence.

i wanna know too. cuz some fans just don't slow down well.

Well, all will know soon, this weekend I'm hooking up four Panaflo H1As, and a Tornado to my Sunbeam Rheobus... hope I don't blow anything up.

I got the same case (except different window style)! I got mine at Electroseller like a year ago. Great case! Anyway, a friend gave me a tornado fan after buying it and hearing how loud it was. I was like, well, I can probably bear the noise, how loud could it be? Boy was I wrong. I hooked it up, turned my system on, and I was speechless (even if i could talk i couldnt hear myself)! Anyway, I should try 7-volting it, as it is a great fan, but a bit loud.
