Replacement fan for CSE-M35T

[dikkiedirk]

What would be the best replacement for the rather noisy fan of the Supermicro CSE-M35T? Originally it come with a 90x32mm thick fan, is this 32mm important?

I've used these fans with great success.

Are the one speed or variable speed?

I don't know, you'll need to do more research yourself on that one.

I purchased a set of geild fans without the adjustable speed, I don't remember the model number.

I went the cheap route for my replacement fans -- non-PWM Antec fans with a manual 3-speed adjustment switch (sorry, I don't have model number handy). They are thinner than the fans they replaced. I've been running them at the lowest speed and have not had any temperature problems to date. I've not tested it, but I assume the alarm will sound if one of them stops spinning.

The alarm will sound! Loudly!

I bought these Noctua NF-B9-1600 92mm Case Fan

I waited for a sale and got 3 of them at once.

Before that, I use a variable speed fan controller with the factory fans at about 1/3 speed.
