Hey guys, i´ll buy 2 fans for my Prolimatech Megahalems, so are these good: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/sc12slsy110c.html ??????????

37.00 dBA
sounds kinda loud, but sure, they're good in terms of moving lots of air

I have 7 cooler master fans with 21 dba each and they don´t bother me, either i´m listening to music or playing games so I end up forgeting their sound.

Other Scythe series are better than the Slipstreams, but they cost more too (have Sony fluid bearings). I wouldn't buy 110CFM/37dB units unless you really need all that cooling and don't mind the noise. You really didn't mention what the fans are suppposed to do for you. I'd be kind of leery about standard sleeve bearing fans trying to push 110 CFM - usually takes a ball bearing (or some other sturdy type bearing) fan to be reliable at that kind of output.

.bh.

I´ve already bought them. 2 of them will be cooling my CPU along with the Megahalem in a push-pull config.

The new Scythe Slipstream fans definitally run cooler than the older ones I had in my case (Uhh, can't remember the modelname, they were the original ones with Sony bearings). They dropped my CPU temp about 7 degrees (very obvious drop from 59F load to 51 +- 1). I replaced all 3 of my fans (in, out, cpu cooler).


Edit: and definitally less loud
