I've come across 2 fans that i've decided to purchase but im stuck on which one is louder.

anyone whos had experience with these fans know how loud they're at max? im only wondering because im going to be connecting it to my PSU through molex connectors. I just can't decide which may be louder or are they even going to be noticeable at all?

thanks!

Depends on what you consider loud. Some people can't stand a fan that spins faster than 800RPM, while some people run 5200RPM deltas. I would guess the 1000RPM fan is going to be quieter than the 1300RPM, but I doubt either of them will be obnoxiously loud. The specs also seem to agree with me, if you go by the rated dBA.

Ye, 1300rpm should be fine then, i was only concerned if the fan itself was loud since it was a different model to my current fans. I currently have 2 sickleflows running at 1500rpm and to me that is absolutely fine. I guess i'll pick up the deepcool fans since it can match my red colour allignment ;D.

thanks for your output!

They seem to be using about the same technology, Both would be more quiet then ball-baring and sleeve fans. Once states a 20db level, which is pretty low.

I have the DeepCool case and it comes with fans that look just like that (first one) and they seem to be very quiet, I cannot hear them although I do have a stock Intel CPU Cooler on

ye i ended up buying the deepcool fan. At first they seemed loud, but after awhile i didnt really notice them. I think the rpm may have been reduce since i connected another molex adapter. The original molex connector broke -_- after slotting it in and out twice, luckily i had a spare adapter from my other fans.
