Do PCs really have to make noise? When big promises come along with a low price ...
By Stefan Fassbinder / Published on Fri, 2009-01-23 21:13Last week we wondered why a superb fan control heavily tries to cool a 17°C cold PC power supply with 17°C cold air. Here you see the package of last week's PC power unit, which promises a “higher” air flow and 60% noise reduction. 60% of what? I can tell you from a disappointing experience that the reference must have been said vacuum cleaner.
At this point let us first wonder why you need 50% more airflow (more than what? The vacuum cleaner again?) if it claims a better efficiency. Next week let us see what can be done to refurbish the fan control that claims to be there but obviously is not.
