Is this it?: http://www.pcpowerandcooling.com/pro...478L_index.htm That is designed for a 1U case, it's height is the only thing it has going for it, and is FAR from the best choice for anything other than a 1U case. The fan is small and thin, making it have a lower airflow to noise ratio than a desktop cooler with a larger fan. In other words, at the same (CPU) temp a different cooler could be quieter, or at the same noise level, a different cooler could keep the CPU at lower temp. PC Power & Cooling make very good power supplies, but the rest of their products, while not bad, have a LOT more competition. Your best bet for a good fan is one wearing the original manufacturer's label, something like Papst, Panaflo, NMB, Nidec, etc. All these manufacturers make a variety of sizes and speeds to suit, it's just a matter of finding what you need.

I would note, however, that the fact that they are using an all copper heat sink rather than aluminum leads me to believe that they are relying on the fan's CFM less and the heat sink more. They also give the thermal resistance data (.44 degree C per Watt.) Other manufacturers fail to give this data. |
