-pops- Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 I tend to buy from http://www.quietpc.com/uk/products.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Or Kustom PCs not the cheapest, but a good selection.I agree. Kustom PCs are an excellent little company. Good for getting those "unusual" items that no-one else seems to stock. Have a good mosey around their site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurdy Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Check before you buy that the flower ones fit your board - I know from experience that Zalman's ( extremely good, quiet coolers ) have a compatibilty chart on their site.

madboy33 Posted August 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 cant find this compatibility chart hurdy?where is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurdy Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 When you've found a model you're interested in go to its specs page.I.E.http://www.zalmanusa.com/usa/product/view....dx=141&code=005Then on the right hand side of the chart you'll find a link for compatible mobos.

You adjust the position of the fan to give maximum airflow over the flower.I've used a lot of these with great success.N.B. You even get a mini tube of thermal paste.

madboy33 Posted August 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 oklooked at all the optionswould i not be better off buying an ultra quiet fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 A large fan (92mm) rotates at a much lower speed to achieve the same airflow as a smaller sized one. Lower speed normally equates to less noise and I find that my latest builds in an Antec Sonata case, Zalman flower and the acoustic kit from QuietPC, the machines are all but silent.
