Very surprising fan results after switching

[markrb]

I was starting to get a little annoyed at the whine of the Delta fan I have on my OCZ gladiator.
I happened to have an old Swiftech peltier cooler with 2 Pabst fans on it. I decided to seperate the
Pabst fans and put one on my Gladiator thinking that I could take a degree or two of heat if it was quieter.
Well much to my surprise not only is the Pabst fan quieter it is also running my CPU 2 degrees cooler.
According to the Asus utility my P3 is running at 29C. I am running it at 825.

The only thing I can think of is that the Delta ran off the motherboard and the Pabst is running off of the PSU directly.

Now I noticed the whine of my SCSI drives.

LOL You plugged a delta into your mobo's fan headers. You're lucky you didnt burn the headers. Did you monitor the RPM of the Delta while it was plugged in the mobo? Maybe it wasnt running at 7k Another idea is that the Papst is able to create much more pressure, and has more torque than the Delta.

Hi!

Or maybe the Pabst is cooling the termistor under the CPU far better than the old FAN
