Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing - how to make a 57CFM PWM 3×5.25″ Intake
October 11th, 2009 by James HicksSo I’ve begun upgrading my current desktop, and one of the areas it’s become quite dated is it’s cooling systems.
The legendary Antec P180 PC case comes with three 120mm “tri-cool” fans which operate at about 20cfm (silent), 40cfm (slightly annoyingly noisy) and 60cfm (really irritatingly loud). Actually those flow figures are a little optimistic.
Scythe make some good products. Here is an 1,150rpm 37CFM completely silent (16dba - forget it you just cannot hear this thing) fan replacing an old “tri-cool” model.
They also make some boring products which need savage modification.
