Noctua NF-B9 cooling (computer) fan for LED array

The stock fan that comes with the MakersLed heat sink was a little too noisy for me so I found this guy.

I am extremely happy with this fan. It is very nearly 100% silent, in a dead quiet room you can only hear a faint whirring. I'd say it's half as loud as the stock fan.

 

If you are looking for a cooling fan for your LED setup consider this one.

All my coolings running on them, phyto lamp, sump area cooling :) running them also on switchable voltage adaptors at 6v for the winter, can dial up for the summer, well worthy of considering an adaptor as they're only about £7 or about $11.

 

I also use the fans for DIY magnetic stirrers for the phyto too, again on an adaptor for voltage change.

Noctua fans are the shit! I used them in my computer and they have the best airflow and pressure performance. Cant go wrong with them. I wish they did something to the color scheme tho.

Yea, the stirrers are on timers too, they run a couple of times a day for an hour, just mixes up the settlement, and an airline running a few inches into the tops of the jars to aerate, the jars are 1.5 ltr each, and I farm off half a litre a week, keeps a good strong phyto then.
