Jab-tech only have the 120mm ones, not the 80mm.

And tekgems dont have the D80SM-12S



I guess the Nexus is the next best 80mm case fan in terms of quietness?

Hi All,

Just wondering where I would be able to obtain the Yate Loon D80SM-12S Case Fans?

Ive done a google search, and cant seem to find any online stores at all.

The Panaflo FBA08A12L1A I have in my system atm to cool my lovely Phatom 350 is too loud to my liking.

Yeah, I didnt have any casefans, as I wanted to reduce the level of noise. I hooked one up, and my PSU has not been as hot like last night.



Thanks for the input guys!

Having used it for two hours, with a gaming session with FIFA 06 Demo, and net surfing, the Phantom is hot.

Should I be alarmed?

Its 2:33AM in the morning btw, so its cooler than normal.

Got a purple one. Seems to work for far without any hiccups.

These are purple stickers?



Looks like I have to actually buy one, and then open it up.

I went to a PC Warehouse the other day, and asked if they had any Phantoms in stock. They didnt, and so they had to order it in from Antec. I went back to the PC Warehouse today, as they have informed me that it has arrived. Since this is late 2005, I expected to see a 2005 model, but instead, I saw...

Hi All, for the past few weeks, Ive been tossing up wheather to get the Seasonic S12 430 or the Phantom/Silverstone Fanless PSUs.

Which system will be quieter?

System A:

Phantom/Silverstone PSU + Nexus 80mm Case Fan (1 Only)


System B:

Seasonic S12 430 PSU, and no case fans.

Hi All,

Does anyone happen to know how many slots below the VGA Card (Flat Side) is required for the installation of the Aerocool VM101? Is two enough?

i haven't heard either the s12 or the enermax personally, but given the popularity of the s12 amongst spcr members and the fact that the enermax is also called the 'noise maker ', i'd reckon there'd be a good deal of silence to be gained :) if you're shopping for a fanless psu, i'd recommend the si...

Woohoo, great news that Aussies can get these Seasonics PSU. Just wondering how much noise improvement would I get moving from the Enmernax Noisetaker 420W -----> S12 430? I was about to order the S12 430 until I found out that the PSU has ADDA fans, which replaced the quiet Yate Loon ones. :( Also,...

Thanks very much for the input guys, very helpful. If you have the money i would get a phantom, but be sure to get the second batch. (2005 with a purple sticker instead of a blue one) Is there another way to differentiate between the differenent batches, rather than relying on stickers? Most the the...

http://www.silentpcreview.com/article28-page6.html Noistaker gets a noise rating of 6 Phantom gets a noise ratings of 9- But there needs to be airflow if im going to get the Phantom. For those who was confused with the first post, im just wondering which one would be quieter: Phantom + Panaflo 80mm...

...would that make any noise reduction with regards to the following components? K8NF-9 (NB Heatsink, no FAN) 7000B Alcu HSF (For CPU) Leadtek 128MB 6600 EG425P-VE SFMA 420 Watt Noise Taker, but to make it easier for most of you, just take this PSU as SPCR Enermax NoiseTaker 475 PSU There are curren...

Anyone know if any Australian store stock these?

Im about to order the Panaflo to replace the Evercool that is currently in my case. Would I notice any difference in noise reduction? I think the Evercool have a noise level of 25dB, and the Panaflo has 21dB, which means that I can run two Panaflo, which would still be lower than the Evercool in ter...
