Hi Boogerlad,

The particular Delta fan [EFB 1212LE] still is rated at 34dB @ 2000rpm & 75.93 CFM.

These fans have only 2 wires (Red & Black). Are they easily adjustable for speed, via a simple variable resistance / fan speed controller?

I have found these at Sidewinder Computer Systems inc. @ US$16.95 plus International shipping??

I think 4 of these would set me back ~ AU$120. (That is not cheap for 4 fans.)


The other thing is that I want to Overclock my new PC , but not to the extreme and I will be using 2 x 240mm swiftech radiators, so I think I need to do what my title says - Temper my enthusism with the reality that I have a budget (and a wife).

Thank you for all you helpful comments.

I am learning more every day.

Best wishes,

David
