Case Fans

[mill]

Thermaltake Fans , I went and got one of the fans that have a blue led, and i noticed its 0.48 amps the one i like swap out is 0.13 amps , will this be a problem?

[UncasMS]

i wouldnt think so unless the power line this fan is connected to is overloaded

[mill]

Thanks UncasMS, i think its got its own line.

[UncasMS]

just out of interest ( as i have installed 3 additional fans to my main machine this week):

what are the specs of this/these fans of yours?

-80x80 or different?
-airflow in cfm/m³-h
-db
-rpm

[mill]

The led is modle # A2017 fan dim 90x90 x25 air flow 1.3-7.2mm-H20 17dba at1300rpm~48.5dba at4000 .
24.6-78.7 cfm
the other is the one that came installed from monarch, im not sure about that one .

[UncasMS]

hehehe, i hope your case will never get too warm so that the fan will not have to run at full speed and some noticable 48db ^_~

are you sure it is ~78cfm (not m³/h)?

[mill]

m³/h, ? im not sure , i dont see it on the case any were, Whats that mean is it going to be noisy

[UncasMS]

my mistake

i have found some thermaltakes now with the specs you mentioned

is it the so called ufo fan?



and yes, ~48db would be noisy indeed

[mill]

Thats pretty neat but mine dont look like that one. Plus i was going to use the jumper and have it at full speed all the time . I had it for awhile now but never installed it for fear i will short somthing out. But yea i like that ufo thanks for the picture.

[UncasMS]

connect this fan to the powerline and listen to what you get at full speed - i'm sure you'll change your mind immediately ^_~

48db is half a boing 747 *ggg*

[UncasMS]

btw: lowering the rpm will not only lower the noise level but also your current which varies from 0.15a - 0.48a with this fan

Heres the spec. hope there readable with this camera i took the pic. with

It came with a manual control but i was going to take the easy way out and just use the jumper , but now since im aware of the noise i will probally pass on installing for awhile. Its on the pc with the x2 and i hate to mess somthing up allready just for the blue led

thanx
