And yet is is still way to loud.  I keep it in the other room. Sounds like a fast bathroom fan. I got a few 120mm 120cfm Deltas and those puppys are unusable. Way to loud and way over kill anyway. I like the 83CFM Panaflow 120. I hook up a pot to it and drop it to 7volts or so and it is quite enough and still cools well.

So are you saying that anything over 100 cfm is useless? or overkill? I just want some air to be going through the heatercore. It seems like the panaflo l1a blows air that just bounces off the heatercore, leaving the 2nd sucking panaflo with no air.
Is a mechatronics 120mm 121cfm fan overkill or useless? I dont want to buy something that wouldnt work, but I'm willing to buy a powerful fan at a reasonable price, (that mechatronics is only 8 bucks). If not I can always just put a pot on it and control the voltage.
*edit ignore the above question, i just reread your post and I get it now
That mechatronics has 5 blades, its a 38mm in height. The ys tech fan is also 5 blades and 38mm in height but only 10 more cfm and 10 more dollars! way not worth it.
I would like to get some more panaflos but they seem overpiced, not that they arent good fans, its just overkill in quality i guess, and plus its just a fan.
