I ordered 3 of these poo-fans for 50 bucks since my Scythe slipstreams are loud as turbines.
Did I fall for the poo-fan meme?

> i bought a meme
> did i fall for the meme?
kill yourself
>>56406391
you just made a thread asking if you fell in a meme-trap
like how retarded is this board?
Dude just be happy and if you got them at a good price, just enjoy THE BEST FUCKING POOFANS OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>56406391
You fucked up hard, scythe ones are superior even when you reduce their voltage.
>50 dollars
>poop fans
Is there a good reason you needed three fans in the first place
>>56406476
my inner nerd wanted a silent system and the slipstreams are too loud. Also muh music production
>>56406441
maybe a different model but the db 120s are loud af
>>56406494
>What's reducing the voltage to reduce the RPM thus reducing the noise.
How hard that is for you, anon?
>>56406494
>my inner nerd
jesus fuck normie, get the fuck out of here
>>56406503
they are loud even at 7v with 600 rpm
They were louder than the stock case fan actually
If noctua is shit what fucking brand should I get?
>>56406530
For silence of performance?
Anyways EK makes some top tier silent radiator fans nowadays, noiseblockers too.
>>56406391
>120mm
no, but you fell for the 120mm fan meme
>>56406391
>$50 for THREE fans
case fans really are overpriced memes.
I have a feeling you're confusing the sound of air moving with the sound of the fan. You can buy the quietest fans out there, but if they're pushing too much air too fast they're going to sound like a hair dryer.
>Source: I made mistakes when I was 14 too
why does all retards buy so much fans? i have no case fans in my computer and it has worked fine 5 years already and still works
Is noctua being shilled in /g/ or what?
>>56407850
Noctua make good fans though.
>>56406846
We love our placebo. Shut up.
>>56407850
>>56406530
Go by reviews, not by brand
I paid over $120 for my 10 noctua fans. 4 in the front, 4 in the back, 2 for HDD bays and that's not including the fans on my noctua heatsink
>>56408022
And do you regret it?
I'm planning on asking the support for a replacement even though my fan works since they seem to just send you new ones if you say it's faulty.
>tfw delivish
>>56407880
fuck off shill
dont u have some curry to shit out?
>>56406391
>tfw bought a 40mm noctua for my desoldering station
Best meme I fell for, now I can actually use the thing without suffering from temporary hearing loss
>>56408302
I don't know. If it stays quiet for another 3 years I'd say it's worth it. Every PC fan I've had turned into a noisy piece of shit after a couple of years
>>56408368
Sounds like dust, but what the fuck?
Do you smoke or something, or did you get a $20 piece of shit case with no dust filters?
>>56408368
Looks like someone forgot to lube his fans, you lube your fans like you lube your dildo desu senpai.
>>56406391
After replacing my HSF twice over the course of two years, having used three mainstream, cheap fans, I decided to buy Noctua fans.
So far, they've outlasted the first fan and are quickly coming up on the second fan's lifespan, which was the longest lived of the three, so if these last two years, I'll be happy with them and buy more.
>>56408389
The case fans I've had came with the cases, the motor just gets louder every year. Must be sleeve bearing
>>56406494
>monitoring your music with the computer equipment in the same room
>>56406523
It's ok anon, I understand how you feel.
I bought a corsair sp120 thinking it would be quiet, but even undervolted it was too loud.
That does mean bad news though, we're both giant fucking autists. Just accept it and move on.
I recommend poo fans and noiseblocker fans, at as low a voltage you can get them to spin at.
Just got 3 Fractal GP-14's for £20. Generally fans are overpriced though.
>>56408317
Noctua is in Austria though ? Try the fans.
>>56406391
>spending $50 on case fans
i hope those 2.5 degrees you lose are worth it anon
>>56409496
We get it you're poor.
>>56409496
i want muh silence but without that dust buildup.
>>56406391
bump for noctua owner's experince
>tfw mini itx system with 0 fans
>tfw no sounds
>tfw no heat
>>56406391
Just replaced the deltas in my pentium II system with a poo fan, its so quiet.
>>56406846
I have 6 case fans. Having multiple slow fans is more quiet than having a few fast fans. The case fans sound very little compared to the GPU fan. Without any case fans or with too few case fans, the GPU fan gets gets really loud at even moderate load, so the system becomes quieter with the extra fans.
>>56412428
usually the hdd makes most noise in those.
>>56412534
Not when its been replaced by a 64gb CF card.
>>56406494
>tfw you want a quiet pc to work on besides shitposting with your nerd friend on 4chins :^DDD
