Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone had experience with these types of fans, and which you guys preferred.

The Antec fans are nice because they are adjustable, however I don't really think that will be necessary. I'm going to be buying three to add to the case (2 in front and one on the side). I'm going for a quiet system, so I don't really plan on adjusting the speeds much.

How accurately are the decibel levels advertised?

The Antec advertises CFM of 39 / 56 / 79 CFM with noise levels of 25 / 28 / 30 dBA respectively.

The two Scythe fans are 33.5 CFM@8.7dBa (D-model) and 63.7 CFM@28.0 dBA.

How much of a difference will 33.5vs39 CFM be or 25vs28 dBa?

Thanks much.

Scythe are highly recommended for their fans.
