making mistakes so you don't have to...
Hi guys,
Just digged up this post.
I need to add some valuable information.
The noctua fans are great, for a computer case. As long as there is hardly any restrictions... Top!
Important is the static pressure.
My modification to silence the inverter (and improve the cooling) was swapping the 2* 80 mm fans by 2 x 120mm (ducted) silent wings 3
(Bequiet brand) their high speed model.
At top speed it's a soft buzzing, and still half the power from the 80mm.
Lots more airflow, and with a lifespan of +/- 35 years on top speed... I'm not worried for failure.
They will last longer then the inverter.
Anyways.. my 2 cents...
Check the back pressure of the fan you are going to buy, especially if there is some restricted airflow.
