Best Fan Money Can Buy!
- Comments: I bought one of these fans for my revved up dual-opteron 250 system. Rather than get one of those advertised "quiet" fans, I opted for the absolute most powerful fan I could find, because a "quiet" fan running at 12V is essentially the same thing as a "powerful" fan undervolted.
The potentiometer in the dial will change the speed of the fan gradually from low and silent up to a roaring max. If you want to use the fan without the speed controller, it will run whisper quiet, but still pull decent air.
However, for best performance/silence, I recommend plugging a spare jumper into the fan and getting the "NoiseMagic NMT-3" (silicone acoustics) or some other comparable thermal controller, which provides a linear curve starting with 5 bolts at 28 degrees to 12 at 42 degrees.
The first time I didn't add the jumper and the fan spun so slowly that I could see it move - about 300 rpms, but even at a voltage that low, it didn't stall...
After I fixed that by adding it in, the thing starts off whisper quiet after I turn on the computer, but still pushes good air. When I am doing a lot of heavy processing, it gets warmer and the speed increases, but it is never deafening at all.
Once I disabled all of the speed/thermal controllers on my Workstation, and this thing produced a roaring output, turning my PC into a veritable wind tunnel. I dropped a sheet of paper against the side of my machine where the vent holes are, and it stuck right there until I shut down the computer!!!
Another neat thing about Silverstone is that they seem to continually make improvements on their products. When I ordered this fan a few months ago, the listed top speed was 3000rpm, and it had the standard seven fins instead of nine, although an outdated picture of it showed three. Now they seem to have lowered the RPMs to 2400 and also reduced the decibels, but yet increased the cfm air flow up from 104 to 114!
Not only do they make a great product, but their engineers continue to make slight changes to make them even better than before - Avoid those cheap black 38mm extra thick clunkers with the five fins: the noise is terible and based on reviews they don't undervolt well.
Get this silverstone and you will not regret it :@)
Great fan!
- Pros: very high airflow (110cfm on high), quality construction, comes with fan controller to slow it down.
- Cons: Can get very loud with 5 in my case, but there is a cure...
- Other Thoughts: Most hardware stores stock rubber grommets. Buy 4 grommets per fan to fit the screw size, and buy the thin grommets. The grommets will isolate the fan from the case, and space it about 1/16th of an inch away from the case metal. This seems to reduce noise significantly! With 5 fans at full speed, noise level dropped dramatically.

case fan
- Pros: Easy install, works great. Good air flow.
- Cons: none
Junk, sorry JUNK
- Pros: Bought 3 Fans, 2 fans 120mm and 1 fan 80mm. 1 controller work, the other controllers dont work. Only 1 fan controller work (120mm). I am still wondering when the other one will die, coz i can tell when it is about to die. When I turn on the computer suddenly the speed increase a little bit fast. then drop a bit. I just move a little the controller cable, and the speed increase more. Silverstone the thing the make you product bad is your controller, they die easily. Thank you for helping me waste 30$ and maybe in 1 month will become 50$ coz i predict the other 120mm controller will die.
- Cons: Over price for a JUNK product
- Other Thoughts: NOT WORTH to return THEM
error
- Pros: forgot to actually rate this in my post since i was so busy saying nice things about it. sorry. buy these. you will be happy.
- Cons: none
