    The Coolers Guild F.A.Q.

    TAZTG brought it to my attention that a FAQ for all stuff cases and cooling related would be good on the CG website. So I ask everyone who wants to help please pm a common question (ie. Whats a good quiet fan?) as the subject. and then in the message give the answer. (ie. A vantec stealth is a good fan that is very quiet) You can do as many as you want, but you will get credit for each one you answer. I would ask for them to be posted here but the thread would get to long and hard to organize. After I get a few I will write the HTML for the page then we will see where it goes from there

    Thanks for the help!

    Thanks pwain, I hope it catches on and we can make a good list of FAQ's. I know lots of New Folks ask the same questions that have been asked before by different Folks & I thought this would be very insightful. I have tried this once before but with the Guild helping I think it will work.

    Rather than PMing, why don't we just use this thread as the "Ok, we need silent fans in x size for x use to put on the page."

    That way questions will be out in the open rather than between 2 people.

    heres a question: HOW CAN I MAKE MY COMPUTER SHUT THE @!#5 UP?

    or if you dont like that question: What is a good quiet fan?
    Hang on tightly ... let go lightly.

    Vantec Stealth/Sunon 25CFM. But don't try using them outside of case fans (means that you shouldn't put one on your heatsink). They perform too slow to work so well in heatsinks.

    Sounds like a winner.. I am sure pwain got many questions sent to him already. I would like to see a rough draft of them, that way we know where we stand.

    pwain, I know you have been busy but what happened with all the PM's you received. Maybe you can forward them over to OCking to help him compose his list.

    Perhaps we should still work out a chat. It would help the thinking process along.

    I agree, chatroom or something of the sort would work best. The PM thing isn't open enough for everyone to pitch their ideas in.
