Yes !!! I'm allergic to fan noise, always have been and always will...
My DAW has 5 fans:
- 3 12 cm fans intake from the front
- one 12 cm at the rear (Seasonic power supply)
- one 12 cm mounted on the cpu
These fans all rotate at a minimum speed, but since there's 5 of them the move a lot of air. You can't tell if the DAW is up or not, unless you move your ear in less than half a meter from the case.
O yeah... there's nothing wrong with my ears !
Great thing about the setup is also that I don't get any dust in the cas, it's simply is blowing the dust through the case
I'm also working on a self designed case, something very special. You'll hear more on this project in the comming months...
