Where do you find noise levels for case fans? Its pretty easy to find db levels for cpu fans or for GPUs under different kind of stress but I wanted to find out what noise different case fans make.

 

I am looking at cooler masters Storm Stryker, but could not find any noise levels from those fans.

Those are the same fans if i'm not mistaken. Click Specifications and scroll down to see the noise level (16 DB).

Awesome! Thanks so much. That was what I needed. Well, 16DB, that is more than satisfying.

No problem =) The noise levels should be fine but that case comes with a fan controller so you can always adjust them if needed.

I know but i just wanted to find a reference point.

 

Don't trust their noise level specs. It's a sleeve bearing fan theyre noisy at low speeds. Get this fan instead http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608037

 

I will probably get a noctua cpu fan but using brown case fans in a completely white case would be a crime against humanity.....
