I have two intake at the front and two exhaust, one rear and one top. My rear exhuast fan is making to much noise for my liking, and I was wondering if one 140mm top mounted exhaust is enough? I have tried decreasing the fanspeed, but my bios only let me increase the speed or turn the fan off. I have also tried SpeedFan but it does not detect my fans. I have this case: http://www.phanteks.com/Eclipse-P300-TemperedGlass.html

Is there an option to adjust the voltage of the fan? Mine doesnt allow it to manually adjust the speed. Only the voltage to increase or decrease the speed of the fans

Im with the mentaility of "IF IM NOT SURE IF ITS ENOUGH COOLING, GO OVERKILL"

So what you are saying is that if I decrease the voltage coming in to the fan, the fan speed will also go down?

Precisely

 

12v or 1200mv is max

7.2 or 720mv is min

Depending on what components you're running a single exhaust should be fine.

 

To add to what others have said... if your BIOS won't allow for voltage reduction or lowering of the speed you can also add a low-noise adapter inline with the fan cable to the motherboard. It's basically a resistor that steps down the voltage to the fan physically (rather than via software). That would allow you to slow the fan down without messing with the BIOS settings at all.

Be sure to QUOTE or TAG me in your reply so I see it!
