Hi again,
just got a PC Toys Tornado Case fan and it is TOTALLY unusable due to
noise
levels. Is this normal for this fan or is the fan faulty, it litterally is
so loud that it drowns out audio played at normal volumes on my computer.
Anyone use this fan? It did cool real good but was far to noisey.

Was the CFM figures that were really good, BUT I have just hooked it up to
my Antec PSU fan output which drops the fan speeds depending on temperature
and it is now running at just 2860 rpm and it is still loader than my Antec
case fans,.
Anyone got a recommendation for a case fan that moves a lot of air and is
still quiet?? The fan is for the side panel and will blow onto the cpu and
northbridge.

That is an 84 CFM 80mm fan, it is going to be loud. Go to this link
http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/del80ffb08123.html and click on
'hear this fan now' right below the picture of the fan. That is what an
80 CFM 80mm fan sounds like. Your's should sound like that, maybe a
little louder.

Whine quite a lot? Cut out the metal intake area. Improves airflow and
also quiets the fan down. Enough? If not, put a speed control on it.

It's actually a rebranded Pratt & Whitney F119... This Sunon is easy on
