Panaflo High vs Thermaltake Silent?

[ChrisJohnson00TA]

I'm having some heat issues with my case, and I've been looking for new case fans.

Does anyone have experience with the Thermaltake Silent fans?

Puts out almost the same ammount of air as the Panaflo High, and is ~14db quieter.

I'm looking at putting 4 of these in my case.. every bit will help.

Thermaltake Silent: 21dBA @ 2500RPM's, 52.24 CFM max.
Panaflo High: 35 dBA @ 2850, 56.8 CFM max.

Thanks in advance.

This is my personal favorite.... for the moment

80 / 29 = 2.76 CFM : DB ratio

A fan controller is always good. I like the baybus style with switches.

Very nice, but, I don't have the room for 120mm fans.

Oh sorry.

Yeah, they're good, very quiet and pump out some decent airflow - trust me on that, they can also do a fair bit of damage to flesh

I've got one on my CPU heatsink and two working as exhaust. Can't hear a damn thing once the case is closed.

the white TT one hurts my eyes...

I have a a TT 120mm running 1980RPM, thermaltake claims 21dBA, by my ear i would say its more like 35

 

[_Korruption_]

The 21dBA rating is false.

That fan spinning at 2500RPM is more comparable to the 92mm Panaflo Medium.
