May 1, 20179 yr I bought a used SC846. As those of you familiar with this know, it has 5 80mm fans in fan cages which are extremely loud. I'd like suggestions for 80mm PWM fans which are quiet but have enough static pressure/airflow to cool the drives. I bought Arctic F8 pwm fans after doing a lot of research and it was a lot of trouble to get them in the cages because of their weird connector, and then I realized because of this they wont work with included control. So now I'm looking for other suggestions since I know many others here have this case. I don't want to replace the fan wall and get 120mm fans which is another suggestion for these.
May 1, 20179 yr What power supplies did it come with? I recently found out about these quiet power supplies that, while quite expensive, run almost silently. The power supplies are the biggest source of noise, not the fans inside the case. Check to make sure your chassis is compatible with this power supply, it should be. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/322189939296?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

The original one (IR suffix) is a screamer for sure. But the fans are still very loud. I live in an apartment so there's really no place to hide it or isolate the noise.
