At what RPM does the corsair sp 120 quiet edition run when using low voltage adapter?

Hi

 

Does anyone know what RPM does the corsair sp120 quiet editions run at when using low noise adapter. Also are they too noisy when run at 12v?

Depends on what noise adapter you use, and if they are noisy is something subjective. But tbh just plug them in the motherboard headers so you can control them properly. And it will be fine. They are probably not noisy for you.

Running them at low voltages may introduce ticking. My AF140 fans ticked when running at a low voltage.

I'm going to run 10 of them on radiators so I can't use motherboard fan headers.

That changes a lot, i would get a good fan controller then, if you are investing in custom WC, just add a good fan controller, will help a lot and they aren't that expensive.

There isn't a single fan controller which can handle 10 fans. I'm going to use two of these http://www.modmytoys.com/pcb.html. I would like to run the fans at 1200RPM (They run at 1450RPM on 12v). I need something to lower RPM a bit.

Well that could be nice, but a fan controller is mostly used to control a group of fans

So you can control for example the fans on 1 rad with 1 control, and the fans on another rad with 1 control, with Y splitters you can get there. A good fan controller can handle that no problem.

That's how most people do it.

I just need to know what RPM they run at when using the default voltage reducer which comes with the fans. If they run at about 1200 RPM I don't have to worry about fan controller.

I have two, and I would run them at full speed, they do not bother me at full speed, but I do have stock h75 fans right now too.

Bwt, i was not able to control them in order to make them run quiter and i dont know why, with or without the adapter it shows other speeds but those wont change at all :c

Thanks, I was hoping they would run at about 1200 rpm and they did.

You could use a few Y-splitters, as most headers can power 2 fans.

Great
