hi, can a fan be silent at 2000 rm? all fans i tried are noisy over 1500 rpm but some claim that they are silent even at 2000 rpm like sharkoon silent eagle is that possible ?
 
Solution
Oh they are quiet, but they aren't 100% silent if that's what you mean. I suggest you look up youtube videos on sound tests for fans as everybody is different.


For regular 120mm and 140mm I'd say below 1000rpm. For my fans, I have to put my ear roughly 1-2 feet away from my PC in order to hear any fan noise/wind noise (they run at 750rpm, 450rpm, and 900rpm).

It's hard to give you exact specs, since everybody's ear is different.
