Hello,
I've just built a mini itx based sff pc with AIO cpu cooler and Silverstone SG13B case. The AIO cooler model is Silverstone TD03-Lite. It works well, there is no problem with it other than I want to make it more silent. Luckily, Silverstone writes the specs of the fan on their website. It is listed as below;
Dimension 120mm (L) x 120mm (W) x 25mm (D)
Speed 1500~2500RPM
Noise level 18~35 dBA
Rated Voltage 12V
Rated Current 0.3A
Max airflow 92.5CFM
Pressure 3.5mm/H2O
Connector 4 Pin PWM
So, it can go up to 35dBA and that's audible. I might want to replace it with a Noctua fan or any other fan you suggest. For the replacement, I found Noctua NF-F12 PWM with the specs below;
Size 120x120x25 mm
Connector 4-Pin PWM
Rotational Speed (+/- 10%) 1500 RPM
Rotational Speed with L.N.A. (+/- 10%) 1200 RPM
Min. Rotational Speed (PWM, +/-20%) 300 RPM
Airflow 93,4 m³/h
Airflow with L.N.A. 74,3 m³/h
Acoustical Noise 22,4 dB(A)
Acoustical Noise with L.N.A. 18,6 dB(A)
Static Pressure 2,61 mm H₂O
Static Pressure with L.N.A. 1,83 mm H₂O
Noctua fan is much more silent but its pressure is quite low than the Silverstone fan. So, how the cpu temps and also system temps change if I go for the Noctua fan?
ps: I place the radiator in the front and the fan behind it as an intake. Here is my system;
