Hey guys, just got some Corsair Quiet Edtion AF120's they seem to be extremely loud in comparison to my NZXT fans which i've had for about 3 weeks now, which got me thinking, do fans take a while to kind of break in (or what ever the term is). I could lower the RPM however I don't have anything to do that with until my fan controller comes.
Thanks
Yeah, mine are pretty loud too. I have 4 sp120's in push/pull and 2 af120's as exhausts at the top. It seriously sounds like a jet engine when i turn it on. Thankfully it dies down a bit after posting.
Running full speed , the sp 120's are jets .
I *had* mine running at 5V .
If your mobo can , lower the RPM or use the included fan speed lowering extension ( should be a pair of 12 to 7 or 5 v adapters ) .
Do you know if they sell those extensions separately? I only have two of those for my af120's and NONE for my sp120's
Ill get some fan speed lowering extensions, thanks!
Any low noise adapters, or even make your own .
Just avoid running two fans off one adapter , as the adapter can get quite hot .
