need quiet fans for 12gal nano cube

[jwisson]

any body got any suggestions on quite fans for a 12 gal nano cube. Just did the nanotuners upgrade on the lights but the fans sound like a small plane is landing in the living room.

comp fan the 3", have ya cleaned the fans ? blow them out might have dust in the bearing area

small fans + high RPMs = noise

you need bigger slower fans most likly.

Or a fan speed controller to slow yours down.

Or bye the silent replacement version of your fans.

Search for quite PC on google. The computer guys just like reefers have whole sites and stores online dedicated to DIY stuff including the silent computer, and guess what makes most the noise in the PC.. Yup, you guessed it the fans.

xbox 360 usb fan works great lol super quiet and low energy use. You can hook it up to a usb converter and plug it into an outlet used at eb games their like 14.99

turning down the voltage seems to work. Still watching the temp.
