Here's a link to what looks to be an accurate comparison between quiet fans.

If anyone can summarize in english, I'd appreciate it. -TIA
i can do it later! im norwegian(unless someone beats me too it!)
quick conclusion: all the fans are basicly alike when theyre on the same rpm! very small difference...
My norwegian aint that good :/
I found another test here
http://www.stillepc.dk/anmeldelser/f...oundup_120.htm
and their list of recommended fans

CFM/RPM = self explanatory. "Pris" = Price. The noise levels in "(målt)" are the measured values compared to the factory db's.
Yate Loon D12SL-12 is a really good fan, closely related to its cousin, the Nexus. Its a good allround fan, which can be used as both case fan and mounted on a large CPU cooler. Its not quiet at 12V, but when lowered to 5V, its practically noise-free.
Papst 4412 F2GLL is a really good fan, which in terms of noise ranks amongst the most silent. Therefore its not without reason, many Papst fans are sold in Denmark and throughout Europe. For noiseless operation, the voltage must be lowered, but so must other fans as well.
I would choose Yate Loon D12SL-12 over Papst. I have different Papst fans and I have changed them all to other fans as my Papst did vibrate quite a lot.
I'm very happy with my Yates.
Scythe S-FLEX I don't know about.
Oh btw, how can I mount the PA120.3 on top of the case if decide not to use the swiffy standoff in the rear?
Mod it? Use some Self-taping screws to bolt it down. Or use custom standoffs if you dont what the air to go out of / into the case.
um ok.. only prob is I have no idea what that is :eek:Quote:
