Enermax Fans

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone owns any 92mm or 80mm Enermax speed control fans. Are they good?

had some 80mm ones......pretty loud.
I have seen posts that the 120mm ones are fairly quiet though.

Loud eh? hm... what kinda fns do you use now?

I replaced those with Panaflo H1A's.
That was a while ago....my case has been modded reducing airflow obstructions now, so 39 cfm fans are unnecessary. L1A's get the job done fine without the noise.

BTW- The H1A's have the same cfm output as the Enermax at a much lower noise level.

Thanks xbassman

Think I'm gonna go with a 92mm enermax since the CFM is significantly higher than the 92mm h1A but sound is pretty much equal. and then go with a couple of L1A's or a combination of L1a's and H1A's .

Thanks

Personally I cannot recommend a 92mm Panaflo H1A anyway.
Had one, it was really loud. It is sitting in a box here somewhere.

I don't think fan performance necessarily translates equally among differing fan sizes.
Personally from my experience, noise specs from most fan manufacturers are crap. I always go with a trusted recommendation when purchasing fans of a size I don't have personal experience with.

Matter of fact, right now I am installing a Yate Loon 120mm low into my wife's power supply. I was really pleased at how quiet it is.

Alright, thanks for the advice.
