Can anyone recommend a good, quiet fan to replace the one in my Quadra 700 power supply?
Posted by: BadGoldEagle on 2020-03-28 03:07:04If you really want a quiet and yet competent fan, get a Noctua.
You’ll want to match or exceed the old fan’s CFM and pressure specs. Have you tried Googling its model number?

I've added two big Nubus cards so I'm a lot more worried about airflow now.

This.
I did that for my Quadra 840av and Quadra 700 - as both fans were annoying sh!t out of me - I got lowest noise, high CFM and Ive been happy with.

For the QuadrATX 9x0 PSU mod I'm (still) working on, I went with an industrialPPC NF F12 as I wasn't able to find the original fan's specs. It's definitely overkill.

But I seem cannot find the one I installed in Quadra 700 - its an 80x80 fan. I know it is around 24 or 28db but 1800rpm which is more than enough - The Quadra 700 now has Quadra 800 logicboard in it, DOS Compatible card and 36gb ultra SCSI - and its fairly cool inside.
