Well today I am looking at two SilenX case fans. I know what you’re thinking “Hey Andrew how can fans be so special??” Well I will tell you how. The first thing I noticed about these fans was there not like most case fans where the blades are just flat pieces of plastic slightly tilted. Oh no they have a nice curve in them also they are slightly cupped. What does this mean to you?
It means the design helps pull in and push out more air! There for better cooling. Also I found with both the fans is there a heck of a lot quieter then stock fans. Even more then the 240mm cooler master fan I have. Another bonus I found with these fans was that they came with noise dampening rubber pins instead of screws. I think that is the biggest assist to lack of noise. They do come with standard steel screws also.
With the fans you also get a 3 year warranty you do have to register the product on their site. Also for power options you have the standard 4 pin molex or if you have a fan controller you can use the built in 3 pin connector. Both fans retail from between $5.99 – $11.99. All depends on the size you would prefer. So in the end I am giving the SilenX 80mm and 92mm Effizio case fans a 3.5 / 5.
Pros:
Great air flow.
Very quiet.
Can be used with fan controller.
Cons:
Little pricier than other fans.
dBA Ratings:
80mm = 12dBA
92mm = 15dBA
