Quiet fans
I'm looking for a quiet 80mm fan. At the moment I've got two 80mm
Zalman's (and a 92mm one) but after just a year one or both of them have started to make a grinding noise when cold. It's getting worse so I want to replace them. I want a quiet one and one that's going to last more than 12 months. Overal I've been disappointed with the Zalman's, I paid £15 each (they're just over £5 on the internet :-(). I've been thinking about a Vantec Stealth. They have dual ball bearings and a lifetime warranty. The noise level is 21db, (Zalmans are 20db), and they shift 27cfm which I think is more than the Zalmans. Has anyone got one? Do you know what the noise levels are like compared to the Zalman's or other quiet fans? |
