    Red face What's the difference between these 4 fans?

    Hey guys... I'd like your comments on these 4 fans... What's the quietest, and what performs the best... Thanks.

    #1. Delta 11CFM(20mm Tall)
    #2. Delta 16CFM(25mm Tall)
    #3. Sunon 17CFM(25mm Tall)
    #4. Top Motor 21CFM(30mm Tall)

    This is for a GeForce2 overclock, so I'm looking for something that will cool down a copper heatsink, but yet, not scream as loud as my FOP38's Delta Black Label...

    The 16CFM Delta is 36 dBa which is about 9 decibals short of the acclaimed (or feared?) Black label Delta. 20-sih like 28 dBa is considered "whisper-like." So there would be little noise.

    I would suggest the Top Motor fan only if you have enough clearance for your other PCI cards. Don't know if the Sunon 25mm tall fan is louder or not..

    Yeah I was reading around, but not only is the Top Motor fan move the most air, it's also the quietest at 33dBa I believe?

    Excellent, the Top Motor is my pick now.
