Quiet power supply fan

[mdXtreme3d]

I have an enermax 300W power supply, and the fan is a bit too loud. I'd like to replace it with something less noisy. Any recommendations? Also, what is a good quiet coppermine cooler? I have a gorb on there now and I'd like something quieter.

thanks

For the powersupply I would suggest a Panaflo L1A 80mm fan. For the cooler I would suggest the Alpha PAL6035 with the 16.1 dBA Adda 60mm fan. You can get the cooler/fan combo from here.. Also the Adda 80mm would be a good choice for the power supply fan now that I think about it.

Im guessing this is the 1 faned version? Panaflo 80mm L1A are quiet and inexpensive ($5), tho if your willing to pay more theres better fans out there.

For a quiet HS, coppermines even overclocked really don't generate much heat, having a low rpm fan isn't gonna cause much problems. Just have a pretty bulky HS like a Taisol 742, Alpha PEP66 or PAL6035, FOP32...and replace that fan that you feel is quiet for ya, like the 16dB Adda.
