28CFM is not enough.. The best solution is a fan with variable control. This way you can take your time and play with the setting until you find balance noise/performance. The TT SmartFan2 is excellent, with 75cfm(5000rpm) at the high end. It is an 8cm fan tho. Another good choice might be an Enermax 9cm fan w/ manual control. Not as much flexibility(high end is 2500rpm), but it is 9cm.

![]() Ok, how about a YS-Tech FD9325 92mm fan. 50 CFM @32 dBA, no speed control though. Or a Zalman ZMF2 with speed controller, but I cant find any CFM ratings anywhere. Laz. |

Ok just ordered an SLK-900U (it was £10 cheaper than the 947) and a Panaflo 92mm fan that pushes 48CFM @27dBA. I may attach the fan to my case fan controller if its too noisy at full pelt. Now I'll be able to turn up the juice and see what this XP1700+ will do ![]() ![]() Laz. |

Pabpst fans are very high quality and also quiet. But they charge for it to. If I were looking for silent cooling I would definately check them out.

Staz, I considered a 92mm Papst but it was double the price of the Panaflo and the performance figures for both were very similar. Laz. |

Just a quick update, the SLK-900U arrived yesterday and luckily a 92 mm Papst fan as well! They must have run out of Panaflo's lucky me! ![]() Temperatures are down by about 8-10C but I will have to let the TIM cure for a few days to be sure. I have not noticed any increase in noise either, which is nice! Laz. |
