Papst 3412/N2GLLE enough air flow to cool hitachi 500 GB harddisk ?
Hello,
This seems to be quite a nice low noise 92x92x25 mm case fan: Papst 3412/N2GLLE The manufacturer doesn't even list this but it's still available... It has 1150 rounds per minute and 33 m^3/h air flow ( 19.4 cfm ). Tom's hardware for example review the drive and said any airflow is sufficient... There could be two of these fans in the case and 6 harddisks... at max... Would two of these fans still provide enough air flow ? I hope so... because cooling harddisks is new for me and I absolutely don't want to go overboard with cooling them... I want minimum noise for cooling the harddisks and this seems a good deal Noise level for this fan is supposed to be 12 to 16 dB(A) depending on which site you believe... not bad at all ! each 3dbA increases noise level to 100% So this should be quite quiet hehehe. Bye, Skybuck. |

Thats basically correct but doesnt cover the extreme situations like say the hottest days of summer necessarily, with say 6 drives if the room does get stinking hot. Few use systems like that tho. There could be two of these fans in the case and 6 harddisks... at max... Would two of these fans still provide enough air flow ? Should be fine. Tho 6 drives may not fit into the 3.5" drive bay stack in quite a few cases. I hope so... because cooling harddisks is new for me and I absolutely don't want to go overboard with cooling them... I want minimum noise for cooling the harddisks Yeah, me too. and this seems a good deal Yeah, it should be fine. Noise level for this fan is supposed to be 12 to 16 dB(A) depending on which site you believe... not bad at all ! each 3dbA increases noise level to 100% So this should be quite quiet hehehe. |
