so you softmount your psu fan?

Post by chico1st » Mon Nov 08, 2010 6:51 pm

I have a PSU fan which im replacing and I was wondering if anyone who has done this would recommend softmounting it?

In the SPCR reference system they modded their PSU but did not mention softmounting.

Any thoughts? Ive never softmounted anything so I dont know how much of a difference it makes
For reference I think I will be softmounting this fan:
Fast Version: S-Flex SFF21F (1,600 RPM)

When I installed a S-Flex F into my previously noisy Zalman PSU in my P182, I soft-mounted it with some rubber fan holders. I didn't have the replacement S-Flex fan hard-mounted at any time for comparison, but since you are installing a new fan, you may as well soft-mount it.
