I have a backend case with 4 noisy fans. The noise is getting pretty<br>
annoying since the backend is in my study....<br>
<br>
Does anyone know of thermostatically controlled quiet fans? I'm looking<br>
for some thing that only cranks up when the case temp goes up; ideally<br>
something that stays at a low RPM until things heat up and then starts<br>
speeding up.</blockquote><div><br>Have you tried a software controlled solution like Lm-sensors (<a href="http://www.lm-sensors.org/">http://www.lm-sensors.org/</a>)? I haven't used it personally but I have heard of others using it to control the fans based on the temperature measurements. I believe there is a gui called ksensors for kde. Maybe somebody else on the list has had success with that and could give you some more first hand feedback than I can. <br>
