Opinion on 80mm Case Fans

[Saint Nick]

I'm just wondering if you guys have any suggestions on fans that are quiet but still can move a lot of air...

thanks!

Yeah, but don't buy it from newegg unless you feel like wasting money.

anyone know a good place to get a cheapo fan to help cool my crappy overheating router? need an 80mm. cheapest i found was 1.99 but $10 shipping lol
thanks 🙂

svc.com sometimes their panaflos are cheap but they have cooler master 25dBa's that are pretty quiet too. shipping is fair

my netgear router gets really hot too...but how are you going to attach a fan to it???

panaflo i guess. at 80mm you don't move much air if you want silence. theres no magic.

 

[imported_rod]

Panaflo are good. If silence is the most important factor, then silenX are also good, but they dont move a heap of air.

Would it be possible to use a 120mm, or even just a 92mm fan? These are quieter than 80mm fans.
