Got my new GTX 470 and cranked up the fan...

TylerZambori · Aug 13, 2010, 08:36 PM

...all the way to 90%, and guess what? The sound made no
difference because my computer already sounds like a jet engine!
I could not hear any difference! haha!

It's keeping the temp right around 51 degrees celsius. I hope
that is fine?

well let us know who long it took until the motor burned out

Same here. I keep fans on 100% a lot. (I live in West Texas). Never had one go bad. But yes, they are loud.

Why is it pointless?

What is a delta?

Bear in mind, I only build a computer once every couple of years...

Oh, a sound card......I don't have any sound card. but this
sounds like a good idea.

Cool!

I believe he is referring to Delta Fans.

TylerZambori · Aug 13, 2010, 10:41 PM

Nope, I got these:

VANTEC TD8038H 80mm Case Fan

Vantec case fans that sound like jet engines!

You should get a new case with 120mm fans only, 80mm fans are so loud.
