Silent Fan Case

[THIERRY]

Hello Guys

I am currently looking for a really quiet 120mm Fan case to put into my system. Any suggestion ?
Thanka a lot.

nexfan.com has real good deals on quiet 120mm case fans and alot of other fans too...;)

A big help is to buy a fan controller so none of your fans are ever running at 100% Two fans running at 50% are going to pump a little more air and do it much more quietly than one fan at 100%. Just backing a fan down to around 70% makes a nice difference. I have done this in a couple of my builds and it works quite well. The downside is you need to have more fans.

If you want to spend the money, Lian-Li has some very quiet, very well constructed and very nice looking cases.

Yes David M, there is a computer store next to my house. I have just bought a Thermaltake 120mm Fancase. My case Shinobi has already a prebuilt 120mm Fancase. So now I have got two fancases running at that very moment. My trouble is how can I adjust the fancase that I just bought to run at 70% or 50% as you kindly suggest, because there is no such facility to do so ? There manufacturer states 21 dBA(noise) but it does not look like it.
Thanks a lot.

I finally settled my mind on Akasa AK-183-L2B 12cm Amber Series Case Fan -Ultra Quiet. Frankly it really quiet and works just fine. Lately I start experiencing a "rattling-like" noise from the fan when the pc is first switched on. And the unpleasant noise die out five to six minutes afterwards. Just wandering if the situation is common or the contrary,if so how to fix it?
Thanks a lot.

Thierry.
