Hello folks. In the "Recommended Fans" section at this website, it states the following about the "Low Speed" version of the 80mm model of the Panaflo fan (FBA08A12L1A): "It's quiet but a bit whiny at 12V. As voltage is dropped, noise drops smoothly with very little bearing noise. Very consistent re...

Stacking Heatsink Fans?
Hello folks.
Is it ever a practice to stack fans on top of each other on a heatsink, or does that not work very well?
Are heatsink fans made to even be able to do this?
Thanks much!
