Delta Replacement

[funkdog]

Hey fellas,

I need some help. I currently use a Black Label Delta, and I am beggining to really hate the noise, I don't want my performance to suffer that much, but I need a quieter fan. Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.

Water cooling is not an option, as I have not the guts to run water through my computer just yet.

I've looked at 80 - 60mm fan adapters and some 80mm fans, anyone running something like this?

These are my thoughts, your mileage may vary.

hey get one of those 60-80 adapters and do a shroud to channel the air flow I have been using them for quite some time in fact I made crapy throw away adapters for my own system before thay came out. you should get better performance from a 50+ cfm fan but not that anoying whine of the delta.

I can live with the fan noise, but man that Delta Whine..... that is another creature all to itself.

Why not run it at 7 volts, or try 5 volts?

 

[funkdog]

Forgive my ignorance, but how do I change what voltage the fan is running at? I don't have it hooked to a cpu fan header, I have a 3 to 4 pin connnector hooked to the PSU.

These are my thoughts, your mileage may vary.

you can rewire it to hit different power in your system. The 4 pin connectors hold 2 grounds a 12V and a 5V line.
