Quiet fans for rad cooling............

muzz · 11-03-2001, 05:20 PM

What make/size fans are you guys using? I saw the black ice ad saying " must use 100 cfm fan" 100 cfm fans (120mm) from plycon are rated at 40+dba, and THAT is the reason for ME to go to WC, to lessen the noise.Anyone have any input on this?

Thx.

I have 4 80mm Panaflo L1As on my Big momma and two JMC 120mm fans on my heatercore.

is 2 - 120mm 68.9CFM fans on a leviathan enough ?

Should be just fine.. Planning to run pelts? Keep an eye on the temp of the air leaving the rad, if it's coming out warm, you might want to increase the airflow.

I'm dropping ~85w from a single throttled 35 CFM fan. Wisper quiet and with 3-4C of ambient.

I have a YS Tech 120mm 136cfm (the best noise/air flow fan I've seen) on my heatercore (1989 escort w/AC)
works like a charm. I'm gonna drop the fan to 7V to see if it still cools well and kills some noise.

i just ordered up 2 panaflow 120mm m1a (85cfm @ 35dbl) for my heater core (from dtek), i'm positive i'll get good enough cooling

I'm going to use a DigiDoc 5 to control the fans in my case. I'm going to put two of those 100 CFM fans on the radiator, one always on, the other controlled by the DigiDoc. The rest (except maybe a HD fan) will be controlled also.
