Default Vantec 80mm Stealth Fan Review @ ExtensionTech.net

Fan noise is considered obnoxious to some, so constant under-volting fans, rheobuses, bay buses, etc, have been used to keep PC noise down. But here is an interesting one; why not just get a quiet fan to begin with? And that is what we have on the review bench today, one of Vantec's 80mm Stealth fans. It promises to be quiet, but does noise come at a cost of CFM? I'll cover that too. Don't take my word for it, go listen to the microphone readings I took...

More information is availible here.

This is a great fan IMHO for those who prefer quiet cases. I actually have one mounted on my heatsink (Thermalright AX-7) for cooling the CPU. I do not OC my CPU (Athlon 2200), and my temps are always below 40 C on the proc, and below 35 ambient in the case. I would not suggest it to someone who is OC'ing their machine, as it does not move as much air as some of the louder fans.
