I'm looking into getting case fans (80mm) for my stock case (7237). I'm narrowed it down to the adda(AD0812LS-A70GL(T)) and panaflo (FBA08A12L1A). Noise level, performance(cfm/rpm), and cost are the 3 criterias that matters. Anyone care to speak their mind as to which I should run with?

I've got a Duron700@930Mhz KT7 combo(taisol 733 HSF), and currently my internal case temp is at 30C during heavy load (burn-ins). That's causing my CPU temp to hit the 50s. I know, I need to replace the stock fan from the front intake, and put in another exhaust fan, and perhaps replace the fan in the PS (maybe?). Any other recommendations..?

Same output on both
Adda - ball bearing produce a slight whine, Panaflos are quieter
Adda - rpm sensing 3wire/3pin connector / Panaflo 2wire/3pin

WW bios or later, you need rpm sensing fans on the cpu header

if noise is a concern, definitely replace the PSU fan. it's by far the loudest piece of equipment i've seen in my experience, and does wonders when replaces w/ a panaflo.

my vote goes for panaflos, the L1As just work awesome and you can't ask for anything quieter. the performance is about as good as you can expect for the noise.
