Highly recommended fan for your cases, good good!

Hello there you guys…

Well, I have put a new fan to my new system with great results, the TT A2330 SILENT WHEEL 130MM FAN 16DB. So I want to let you know about it as it is such a good thing.

It is “very” good indeed, quiet and being bigger, it pulls a lot of air really, you can feel it when you put your hand close to it. Perhaps about 3 to 4 times more than the standard, smaller fans that come with the case.

They are apropiate to be used as exhaoust fans, as they can probably be fixed easily. As intake fans, it all depends on your case.

I have modified mine and made a bigger hole on the side door, where the fan is, and temperatures came down quite a bit. In the CPU side, 9 Cº, and in the MOBO side 17 Cº down! I’m very happy, this is a big improvement for a single fan replacment.

Here you have the lik, highly recommended for anybody willling to put down temperature in their case:

Yeah, looks interesting. The bigger the better

An adaptor would be needed, sure.

Look for db(A) data - some shops here in Norway shows this datas, as they are verry important to many users. -like us

It seems like the overheating problem is reduced a lot . Todays CPU don't produce heat like Intel P3, the first P4's and AMD Thunderbirds.

A normal (and very cheap!) 12cm fan with a 47ohm resistor on the groud cable is the perfect fan for all of my systems

Every "silent" fan in commerce is a normal fan (often coloured or illuminated) that runs below his normal RPM!

So it's more cheap to buil your own.

I put a 47ohm resistor also on CPU fans (if I don't use the fantastic Arctic Cooler fan...) and on PSU fan.

Then I isolate all moving parts with windows foam gum to block all vibrations. (PSU, HD, fan, etc.)

And if U wish a very-very silent PC U can buy 2-3 square meter of 3mm LEAD isolation material from a specific housebuilding store. (this is not so cheap..) to fit the inside walls of the case.

The resoult is same noise as a running videorecorder.

Our videorecorder is disturbing noisy. Well, ok, it's an old Philips and soon to replaced by new toys.

If this is 130 I would need adaptors or something.

No, that's the cool thing, it addapts itself to the 120 ones.

I understand that smaller fans, running at smaller speeds, are not the great answer to heat problems, are they? But the Silent Will fan is different, because it is BIG, and pulls a real LOT of air. When I put my hand near it, I can clearly feel the pull, while if I do the same with smaller fans, nothing happens.

BTW: the noise level is 16db, and it is the quietest piece of the whole hardware here.

Here we have a silent 120 mm fan:

I'm sorry, Eminardi. My comment was not so funny at all.
However....

Of course you haven't ever heard this ancient videorecorder of ours but I can convince you it really is noisy.

So the drilled holes are fitting 120 mm ?
where are the the 130 Nestor ?

You have correctly understood, they fit exactly, and the trick is that they have taken some of the plastic that surrounds current "little plastic cases", expanding the circle where the fan itself is located. If you have 120 holes, you can use the Silent Will.
