Guys
Ive been working on a project for close to a year now. Its in 'post production' mods phase, and while replacing a fan mod that failed miserably, I came across a fan that is so amazingly quiet I thought I'd share with you.
The Enermax (yuk, Ive never liked their products before) Marathon Enlobal 120mm fan is mindbogglingly quiet. If your looking for a silent 120MM fan for your HSF, this is the one.
In short, it moves 44CFM @ an honest 17 DB. No need to read more if you dont want to.
In a little more detail, Its a not so new technology thats fairly new to computer fans. A different breed of armature support: a magnetic field suspension bearing which eliminates conventional sealed ball beaings or bushings. Lack of mechanical contact bearings/bushings and low speed make this thing near-perfect silent while still moving a respectable 44CFM. Do I sound like Im gushing? I am, thats how good this thing is. I mounted 3 of them without using my iso-mounts, (as I hadnt modded the frames yet) and even hard mounted they're still at most 1/3 as loud as the Antec "silent" 120mm iso-mounted fans (at lowest RPM) I was using.
Ditch the factory fan, crack one of these puppies on that Ninja scyth CPU heat sink and enjoy the sound of silence
Peace
