Well just to test the fan at different voltages, i picked up a universal wall transformer rated from 3-12 volts @ .8 amp. The fan would start up at as low as 6 volts, and was very quiet at that level, although probably only putting out 40-60 cfm. At 7.5 and 9 v it was pushing more air, and still staying fairly quiet(mostly air movement, and a lil motor noise). Seems like it will be perfect for what i want: The ability to push approx 230 cfm through my rad (235X2 because I will have 2 of them, then /2 because of going through rad = 235), or pull minimum air through the rad at a real low audible volume.

BTW you will not believe what a great deal I go ton these fans. 12.95 a piece... All other places were selling them for 50-60 bucks. I took the risk in ordering, thinking it may be too good to be true. Well worth the risk, as the fans were exactly as expected.
