Is it possible to run the corsair stock fan lower than the lowest setting on the fan controller just so they can move some air that they can be silent?

Thanks

Edit: On a 650D

The stock fans from the (old) Hydro series run fine and very quiet at 5 volts. Even 7 volts they're pretty quiet. 12 volts is a joke. For best results use a 3rd party fan controller.

Ohh, no experience with Corsair cases. I guess if you really need to go lower than the low setting, use a resistor+low. Though the fan most likely will not spin up w/o a push.

About a meter away at the lowest fan settings I can hear the fans.

Im sure as when I turn the fans off my pc is silent. When I plug in the fans there is a noticeable difference.

Stock Corsair fans : they suck i.m.o

I replaced them all.

And the "fan controller" is not better as it only undervolts them a few volts.

Try it. If it works it works. But you should just buy some better fans if you've got the spare cash to do so.

i5 3570K - MSI GD65 z77 - 660ti 2gb SLI - Kingston HyperX Blu 8gb (4x2gb) - Corsair H100i - Corsair 500r - Corsair HX 850w - Kingston HyperX 120gb SSD
