Thermaltake Launches ISGC 12 cm Ultra-Quiet Fan

Thermaltae is out on the market with a brand new multi-purpose 12 cm fan. The ISGC fan appears to come with some odd curves on the blades at first sight, but this is for a reason - to help keep the noise levels coming from spinning to the absolute minimum. The 120x120x25 mm ISGC uses Hydro Dynamic Bearing (H.D.B) system, spins from 800 to 1300 RPM and has max aiflow of 58.3 CFM at only 16dBA. In the package you'll also find four rubber vibration-absorbing mounts. The ISGC 12 cm fan is yet to be priced. For more information, click here.

If you arere looking for a 120mm fan upgrade, this article is a must read!

What's the best 120mm case fan?
We've collected 22 120mm fans and put them through rigorous noise and airflow tests to see which is the best. Read on to see how to keep your hardware cool while keeping the noise your PC makes to a minimum.

What's the best 80mm and 92mm fan?
The hardware you use to cool your CPU is arguably just as important as the CPU itself - if it's loud then you're not going to want to use your PC all that often, while a limited amount of cooling will result in your CPU running hotter than is ideal or having limited overclockability. An easy upgrade to your cooler is to change the fan, so bit-tech is here with a roundup of 80mm and 92mm fans that are ideal for smaller coolers.

Of course, these fans are equally at ease being fitted in a case mount. Whether you've just got an old case that doesn't have 120mm mounts, or it just happens to have a few 80mm or 92mm mounts in odd places (the side panel, behind the CPU socket, or mounted to the hard disk caddy, for example) read on to see which fan will suit you best.
