As many of you know, I had to replace the power supply in my media server some time back. It went from a lovely quiet server to a spitfire wannabe. Now that the thing sits just 2 feet away from me I thought I’d get a nice quiet (and cheap) replacement. While ordering it I came across a review of some 80mm case fans that were meant to be quiet. In a fit of madness (they are between £3.40 and £3.99 EACH) I thought what the hell and bought 3.
AKASA 80mm Amber series 3 pin Ultra quiet
Oh my, they make a HUGE difference! I never realised how loud case fans were until I put these babies in. They are completely silent! The noisiest thing in my media server now is the CPU fan!
I had 1 left over so I swapped the top vent fan in my main machine. It’s made a huge difference only changing 1 of the 4 case fans. Next order from Scan or Ebuyer and I’m gonna get me another 3 of these.
My review gives these 9/10 - It would be 10/10 but for the price.
Cheaper on Scan …. linkyloo
But if you’re buying from ebuyer already…. linkyloo2
Each are supplied with screws and cable converters/doublers (and I should coco for the price).
