Do you think this case fan will fit inside my Tuniq Tower?

kaisellgren · Dec 26, 2007, 11:03 PM

Hello,

I have a Tuniq Tower 120 Ultra Silent Rev.2 and I am running it at max RPM and I think it's too noisy so I decided I could buy this:

jimm's PC-Store Oy

Silver Lightning 140, 120, 92 and 80mm Fans

Silver Lightning 120mm is the one I was thinking. Would it be more quiet and would it fit? If not what do you suggest me to put in my Tuniq Tower? I want some quiet fans not loud. I can buy max $35-$40.

thats not recommended, sure the fan would fit but you would lose performance with some low static pressure fan.

there was a review about this where they replaced the fan with a powerful yate loon and the temps were higher than stock fans.....

if you bought the tuniq tower, you probably should have expected this as the fan is known to be rather loud. i believe its 32Db?

youre welcome to try it but you might as well use the controller that came with your HSF to control the speed.

In Jimm's PC Store look at the Noctua NF-P12-1300 fans

**kris23** · Dec 26, 2007, 11:51 PM

how many CFMs does that 1300 model pump?

**temeteus82** · Dec 26, 2007, 11:56 PM

92,3m3/h is the airflow in one hour at 1300 rpm...

CFM can be calculated this way: 92.3/1.7 = 54 CFM

And temeteus82, ooksä ite kokeillu tota tuuletinta Tuniq Towerissa? Onko hiljaisempi maksimilla tai että onko viileempi?

I believe in you, but now I'm a bit dubious about that what mr kris23 said. Maybe that's a silent fan, but maybe not inside Tuniq Tower ...

You need to test that to be sure

I agree, testing with different fans is the only way you will know. Every case is different with different airflows that will effect the way your tuniq and whichever fan cools things.
