Which 80 mmExhaust Fan??

[HarleyMYK]

Can anyone recommend a powerful and quiet 80mm exhaust fan? I bought a Sunon KD1208PTB2 from Frys that really does not suck out enough air.

I'm not sure how powerful these fans are, but I have three going into a system I'll be building this month. I'll be letting the world know about it when it works/doesn't work.

They look pretty good. Not exceptionally powerful, but not too bad.

Well, the problem was not the fan. The fan was blowing through a circle in the back of the case where 100 or so small holes had been drilled (punched?) out of the back in a circular pattern. Just for kicks, I took some time and cut out the circular area totally. Now the fan exhausts like a vacuum cleaner! I can’t believe that the case maker was unaware of the fact that these holes would not allow a fan to vent properly. It is a little noisy though.
