What do you guys think of these fans? One of them is 90cfm/18dba. Is this too good to be true?

id rather pay £2 (about $3.50) for my fans, i like a noisy case you can tell if its working!

Way too much...yes I agree I don't mind a bit of noise becuase you know it's working, a lot cheaper, and with the low hum of fans it sounds like a monster lol.

You get what you pay for. If you buy a 3$ fan it's going to have sleeve bearings, maybe 30CFM, and like 50dba.

I'd go with a Silverstone if you want a good fan. 110CFM at 39dba. It's a little on the noisy side, but 39dba isn't too bad. My Zalman VF900 is 29dba and I can't hear it at all, so 10dba more shouldn't be too bad.

I'm thinking of going for Yate Loon fans. I've heard good things about them.

This seems like a pretty good deal...4 for $20

i bought sum coolermaster fans 22.84cfm 22db 80cm and it seems to provide really good airflow also a cheap fan made by people who own a computer store and thats even better.

actually noise increses exponentially for every 10 DCB

A sound which is 10*10*10 or 1000 times more intense than the threshold of hearing(0db) is ( 1*10-9 W/m2) is assigned a sound level of 30 db

so yeah 10db more is kinda gonna bother my sensitive ears

i would get deltas instead, 220 cfm at only 54 dB

If your computer is in a library then go ahead and buy those silent yet expensive fans.
I think most of us don't mind a little noise. If you are like me, I'm listening to music or watching a movie(sound hooked up to JVC 500w home stereo surround sound system) when my computer is on. So the noise from fans isn't an issue to me.
