Picture:

I am looking at the SP120's with altered speeds through Asus excellent motherboard software.
I will solder 4 fans together and connect them four by four to the motherboard ports.
These puppies will soak an "immense" [12 * 0,08] = 0,96W each at full speed where the power draw is 0,08A, leaving me with a good margin of the port capacity.
This makes it possible to save in on a lot of cables and unnecessary fan controllers.
As for the rated sound level, it's listed as 23dB but the reality will show otherwise as adding one fan will probably add 1-2 dB to the total sound level.
However, when altering the speed of the fans this value will be lowered, so the total value will not be something outrageous.

Don't solder, get splitters http://www.frozencpu.com/products/12590/cab-425/Phobya_Y_Cable_Splitter_-_3-Pin_to_4x_3-Pin.html?tl=g47c251s635 or better yet, sleeved splitters http://www.frozencpu.com/products/12591/cab-426/Phobya_Y_Cable_Splitter_-_3-Pin_to_4x_3-Pin_-_Black.html?tl=g47c251s635

thehidecheck,


Give me a reason why not to solder?

Given the fact that I am an educated and working electrician flips the coin.


By soldering I will get the exact cable length and more free space else taken by the splitters.

I don't like cables I don't use.

As for the Corsair 800D, I will remove the stock fan controller and all the useless garbage.


To add a point, this system will be custom sleeved by me with materials from MDPC-X in Germany.

This leaves me with only one option, and that's by not having any factory made splitters.


Just wanted to share my thought.


Thanks,

Does the fan profile and the radiator fin density work out correctly? In other words are you going to be able to push enough air with these low amperage,low noise fans through the radiator(s) you chose?

PCCstudent,


This is really something that you simply cannot answer until it has been properly tested.

The configuration is something I have been thinking about myself and would result in the optimal solution.


During benchmarking and load tests, these kind of issues or weaknesses will become quite clear.

I got caught by Corsair's fans because when comparing them with other fans to the sound level, the static pressure is rather good.

Static pressure is more or less more important than the actual sound readings of course, there's no doubt about that.

But having a silent system wouldn't hurt that bad after all.


I will try to optimize the airflow with these fans, might check back on this thread and post results.

The Corsairs are weak when compared to APs. They look nice and new, but meh...

Not true.

They are on a par with the GT's with a lower noise output.

Weaker and louder, but louder is subjective. That said, they sound pretty crappy to my ears.

What I am getting at is not so much about sound level.What I am asking is,if you are using radiators that have a very dense fin configuration (dense and thick).If the radiators are dense and thick you will need some fans that are able to push some air,and push it pretty hard.This feature is not usually found with low noise,low amperage fans. Now if you use thin radiators with widely spaced fins you can get away with low powered fans.The denser,thicker radiator stands a better chance of disapating more heat though
