SilenX iXtrema LED Case Fans

[MikeC]

Steve Angelly checks out SilenX's Ixtrema 80mm and 120mm case fans. Were they good enough to replace his beloved Panaflos?

Nice review, Very clean and good comparisons!

I like how we are getting more reviews than just video cards,

Keep it up! :clap:

Good info there, makes me feel like my Panaflos are too noisy. Must resist urge to buy new fans. :D

Hmm, silent fans...but still pushing respectable CFMs of air! Not bad...shame about the price though! They be a bit on the expensive side.

Luckily I am watercooled! :D

Nice stuff ole Stevie!! :D

(jAkUp, this comment is not directed at you) :D

Thank ye sonny, but If you have WATER-COOLING you should not use loud case fans, high-end quiet running fans are better, otherwise you will go deaf at your young age. :D

Glad you approve! Just a little diversity as the site's readers show more and more interest in quality system components that provide enhanced stability and performance for the newer video cards. If the members show an interest I am sure that MikeC will continue taking a look at various system components from quality sources for review.

Sorry about the hearing loss. Its a wonder I don't have excessive hearing loss with all the hours I have spent as an instructor on weapon ranges.

But good to know you use 120mm fans. A few cases are showing up with capability of mounting 120mm case fans. Its the way to go for best cooling along with noise reduction. I don't understand why more cases don't have the 120mm fan option. :confused:

COZ U HAVE EAR PROTECTORS :p u silly ole so and so! hehehehe thats why!

I dunno why, Imy hearing was so affected when my friends also used to listen to metal music or what have u on the highest volume settings as well on headphones and they hearing is still better than what mine is.

There will be instances when they will say something to me..say in a nightclub and I will not hear anything and others around me will! ...ack

anyways, ya 2 120 mm on my case! :)

Man I don't know about these fans. I was considering replacing my fans with these until I went to NewEgg and read some user reviews. The reviews are terrible. Most speak of how loud they are, and how poorly they are made. I must have read over 20 user reviews and 90% of them are really unfavorable. Really makes me wonder about them.
