effective quiet fan combination

[muppet]

Trying to decide between 4 80mm fans. Either 4 Panaflos low volume 24cfm at 21dba or 4 Ultra Cool 29cfm at 25dba running 2000rpm.

My system is using the Antec SX840 case with Epox 8K7A. Swiftech MC370-OA with standard Papst 60mm fan. Graphics card will have a fan on it.

Basically wondering if I should go for the Ultra Cool fans that move more air as the other components would overpower the noise of these?

You should go for these instead. The best of both worlds.

Do you know anywhere in England that stocks these?

 

[RanDum72]

Sorry, didn't know you were in England

Anyway, just go for the 29cfm fan. At 25db, its still quiet. You won't really notice fan noise till it goes upwards of 30db.

Hey muppet,
try fronzen silicon. I ordered the absolut quiet 12dbA Papst 8412NGL Fans from there. They take international orders.

BTW, if you need help in ordering the stuff, I can help you (the page is in German)

Would you recommend the CPU-COOL AG for a Thermalright SK6? Anand's description of the Delta fans are frightening!

Cheers for the help.
Not keen to pay shipping charges for fans, so decided to go for 4 Ultra Cool fans.
