21db is obviously a fairly low sound level but CFM wise...comparing this fan to say another 80mm fan...does this fan push more air or less air? i am interested in a 80mm fan that can push a VERY VERY HIGH CFM....sound isn't too big of a concern....any reccomendations??
in fact how about 3 diff reccomendations...if its not too much trouble for anyone out there...
one for a fan thats has the lowest db
one that has a nice balance of db and CFM
and one that pushes the highest CFM
any help will be appreciated...thanks in advance![]()
A knobbed rheostat? Ohhh .. how quaint!Originally posted by: Insomniak Like I said, the rheostat is included (3.5" bay), so you can adjust it to that out of the box.

I'm telling you man, the Silverstone 80mm RPM Controlled Fan is your winner. It's very quiet on low (17dBA at 1300 RPM) and very loud on high (48 dBA at 5500 RPM) and can move a TON of air (73 CFM at max RPM, minimum would be around 17 CFM).
A good medium would be to run it at 3000 RPM where you'd pull in about 40 CFM at about 26 dBA. That's pretty quiet, and plenty of air. Like I said, the rheostat is included (3.5" bay), so you can adjust it to that out of the box.
