Question (stupid)

[ManBearPig]

Is a 1.5v reduction on fans a big noise loss?

Reason i ask is because the fan controller i 1.5 over what i can run (i can run 5, its at 6.5).

Thank ye all.

Muck, sorry 😛 Peace of mind and never got a direct answer lol. 😀

No problem. A question not asked is WAY stupider than an asked one. A consensus is always better than a single recommendation. 🙂

Yeah but usually you are spot on lol. 🙂

I think it greatly depends on the fans. For me, 1.5v does not reduce the volume all that much unless it is between 10 and 9, then there is a HUGE drop in sound on my Panaflo M1A 120mm. My Enermax 120mm seems to scale down more uniformly and there is only a great reduction over 5 volts.

Hope that helps!

Thanks...so 1.5 v (when its already as low as six) isnt a big deal. How do you guys like this peice right here:
