| woaw... plain english... where can i do that???... no idea what u talking about... its just loud too loud considering 2 of them.... thats why i'm disappionted coz its suppose to be low noise... but in my case its like jet engine... btw i remove all air fliters... its like and F14 fighter jet... :( maybe its my negative pressure setup... there is two big screen mesh on the side so i considered to put both fans front and back on outward blowing pattern... both TT fans works as exhaust... but still considerably loud...

| Used to have them I used to have them until I figured out why they called them Thunderblades. I have 3 Antec tri-speed fans now. Makes it easy to adjust them for the time of year. One running on low.....and two running on the middle setting. They are fairly quiet and keep things nice and cool. Commodore 64 overclocked into outerspace  |

| Look, invest some money in Panaflo 120 Ultra high speeds. I have one, and im going to buy two or three more very soon. At 12v (the standard operating voltage) they are probably twice as loud as your thunderblades but push 114 cfm. But thats not the selling point of this fan... at 7v, things start to get real quiet. But its still pushing a huge amount of air! The Antec Tri-cool fans are also very nice quality fans. I own two of these, one of them is on my side panel at medium speed cooling my videocard (not that it does much). I have noticed that there is some hub/motor noise at high speed. At low, they are dead quiet but push hardly any air. Medium is the sweet spot. D-Tek Fuzion, MCP655, MCR220 |

| Maybe you guys know this If there is a grill on the fan that has small circular holes in it, the fan will be twice as loud. Even 1/4 inch holes will be loud if they are round. If the grill has holes that are 6 sided or octagonal, the sound will be much less. I don't understand enough about it to know why, I just know it is true.

| The reason is because the small circular holes / 1/4 holes create turbulence. Not only that, they cut down airflow considerably. Honeycomb grills or "6 sided or octagonal" grills are much better. No grill at all is the best. :D D-Tek Fuzion, MCP655, MCR220 |
