Which 12cm fans suitable for heatercore?
I am ready to get 2 12cm fans for my heatercore but have no idea. Noise level is one of my consideration.
Please give some suggestions to me. Thanks. |

NoiseBlocker SX-2
Yate-Loon / Tricod Science / Nexus (all OEM clones of the same base fan - being the SPDL 1225S (also referred to as the 1225L by ThermalTake but not sold separately by TT). AcoustiFan DustProof's Those would be the best of the ultra-low noise focused fans. Moving up in noise levels you get to the Panaflo L1A's, the Papst's, and the Sanyo-Denki's, which are the best of the moderate-power moderate-noise fans. Perhaps a little easier to answer your question if you give an idea of a fan that you presently have which you consider is acceptable in noise level to you. |

SX2, not XS2. I wrote the latter initially due to sleep-deprivation induced dyslexia, but edited my post.

The heatercore from DD is thick that I guess it needs a fan with high air pressure. |

My experience is that (at least low noise) fans are more effective at pulling through a heatercore than pushing - and that if a single fan doesn't produce enough pressure, stacking two fans (with a spacer between) on the "pull" side works better (in the sense of lower noise for the same performance) than a push/pull setup. Also - Cathar may have a better sense of what fans are available to you than those of us in the States or Europe... |

I have the AC sunon 2123s on my BIP2. They are very quiet 38mm thick fans. Ideal for thick heater cores I would think.

But aren't those 220VAC fans running on 115V? If HK is 220, 115 might be hard to come by...(?)

Oops. I didn't catch that. Where is the HK? They work well stateside anyway.
Edit: oh, Hong Kong. Last edited by Ruiner; 08-30-2005 at 02:21 PM. |

I think I remember you saying that this is one of the primary reasons that the PA160 is so much better. You can't simply downscale the fan speed (and thus the mm Hg) used on a heatercore past a certain point to get real quietness. You get to the point where the fan is moving but the air is simply being stirred on one side of the heatercore. |

However, I get the same temps as a single nexxus pulling through a heatercore by stacking two undervolted nexxus fans - and it's perceptably quieter (actually, goes from "audible" to "not audible" for me). (fans have a hollowed out fan body between 'em to prevent interference). Also - I'm pretty careful about internal case air flow, all grills cut open and replaced by wire guards, front bezel unrestrictive, internal wiring fastened out of the way, etc., etc. ... |

How about put a Panaflo FBA-12G12M on "pull" side? 35.5dbA with 86.5CFM looks good!

Both setups are with coolingworks shrouds and montego heatercores and look tidy enough to be boring (except for the black stripe between the orange - haven't had a nexxus fan fail, so no orange fans to sacrifice. I've done this with several kinds of fans, but never with ones powerful enough to be considered "normal" so I expect it's simply something abut low powered axial fans stalling against resistance and not some general way to get better noise/cooling out of an arbitrary (matched) set of fans... |
