A man's computer SHOULD be loud!

If I wanted a cute, timid and meek little computer, I'd get a Crapintosh!

Yeah, one o'them real quiet-like cube thingies http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/wink.gif

I find my Delta's voice to be rather soothing and reassuring http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/smile.gif

Does anyone know how it compares to the 27.2cfm YS-TECH fan in terms of noise.

I can't stand the racket of the YS-Tech that I'm currently using.

Might go for a FOP-1 sometime.

That YS tech is quite a bit quieter than the Delta so you would be not be happy with one http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/biggrin.gif

i remember a few months back when people were saying that the ystech was loud....

wonder why people dont say that anymore http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/smile.gif

i have delta fan on thermoengine. i wear headphones and can still hear it.

These things are so loud that people in my house always complain when I leave the door to my room open, and sometimes I have to shut down my PC just to understand what people are saying on the phone http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/wink.gif. Yet the sound never really bothered me personally somehow...

I have 3 Delta 38s running! 1 on the cpu, & 2 cut in the side for blow holes, a total of 8 fans running, the sweet sound of a 3HP vacuum cleaner! hehe! It will give you a headache after 2 hrs of UT, but 23-35*c looks nice.

U guys are maniacs all of u...

You mean Pabst fans?

-=S_Klass=- I tweak... therefore I am.

At first I thought this fan was loud, but after adding 10 other fans to my Inwin Q500a I couldnt hear it over everything else.

Since I moved to the Lian-Li PC-60, I am notcing this fan again. I just bought 3 more at a computer show for $10 a piece (couldn't pass up this deal).

I think I will try to mod them to run at 7V and see what kind of flo they produce.

The best things to come out of Berkeley was LSD and UNIX. Coincidence? I think not!

I don't mind constant, unchanging sounds, even if they're quite loud. I've got a BLORB, 80mm suckhole, 80mm blowhole, FOP32-1, PSU and KT7-RAID fan all running and it doesn't bother me (I admit though, quite a modest setup by HWC standards). The thing that really pisses me off is when fans start whining:

"Oooo... Oooo... Oooo... Ooor... Oorr... Aorr... Aorr... Arrr... Arrr... Arrg... Arrg... Argg... Argg... Argh... Argh... ARGH!... ARGH!... ARGH!... ARGH!"

MuFu.

P.S. 'Scuse me if I got a bit carried away with the Oooh's and "Aaahh's.
