I have had these fans off of a Silverstone TD03 CLC laying around for a while and decided to install them as case fans. Now when they were on that radiator in the back of the case they were so loud that they hurt MY ears.

Now mounted in the front of the case behind foam filters they are actually very quiet even when they rev up. It's surprising what a change of location can do.

Right now the only noise they make is a buzzing from the one ghetto rigged on top of the optical drive, and even that is pretty darn quiet. I'm thinking that maybe two more of these would be kinda nice but I can't seem to find them anywhere. Does anyone know anything about them?

Pics: The flash makes it hard to read the labels but I can't take better pics because they are installed.

Assuming they are 25mm thick, they look like the fans Silverstone uses on their CLC coolers. Same blade design is used on AR01 and AR03 cooler fans and FW121 15mm thick fan.

All I can say is that they are working very well. At the moment I'm running 2-AC F12s and 2-SS H12s. The F12s run at 100% all the time but don't have a tach wire so I don't know what rpms they are turning. What I do know is that the H12s @ 1500 rpm move more air and are at least as quiet as the F12s. Then they can rev up over 2200 rpm where they are still not loud. I would like to get 2 more or their equivalent. Or just get 4-2150 rpm GTs.

If you don't mind a hi-jack, my wife is complaining her i7 920 is slow. I can switch her 920 for a 980, or get an AMD A6-3670K / Gigabyte GA-A55M-DS2 / 2x4GB DDR3 for £50 .. for £65 it comes in case with 300w PSU. How good is the A6-3670K?

The two FM2+ rigs I have built use the A10 APUs and are great desktops. I popped an R9 280X into one and it is now a decent mid range gaming rig. That A6 is an old entry level APU and is a little better than an intel Q6600. It should be fine for browsing but not for gaming.

Get her a cheap hexcore Xeon - 5675 at 95 Watts is much easier to cool than a 980 and overclocks better too. Or give her the 980 and one of those powerful CLCs that all the hip kids use.

Oh..and she already has a big SSD in the system, right? And more than 8GB RAM?

Yeah, probably sacrifice the 980 and keep the 980x for myself. Yeah, more than 8GB, but only 12GB.

Typically when my wife complains about her computer being "slow", it all falls on the internet connection or web site she is on being slow. Just sayin'.....

Well that might be, but I rebooted her system today and it took 23 minutes to finish loading.

No idea why it took so long, there were only 71 processes running when it finished booting.

I just checked and I have 78 processes running right now. It boots up in less than 20 seconds. And this Win X install is nearly 11 months old now. I just copied it over from the mechanical hd to the ssd when I got the ssd a couple of months ago. FX are known to be pretty snappy in the desktop environment.

do you remember what the load time difference for HHD to SSD when you migrated to SSD?

The only AMD I have is wife's old old GA-MA770-DS3 rev.2.0 with Athlon II X4 620 @ 3.5GHz. I don't think that MB would handle new CPUs so would need to upgrade everything if I went AMD.

I do have a i7 980 I could move to wife's GA-X58A-UD3R

I had a little app called Bootracer for a while. The record for my mechanical hard drive was 38 seconds but it usually took around a minute and a couple of times when stuff decided to update immediately it took over 2 minutes. The fastest time for an ssd I know of is 7 seconds. No it wasn't me.
