Lamptron CM615 Review

We do a lot to make your small rotating noisemakers in the PC case more silent. In addition to sound insulation and decoupling, there are more ways to achieve this. Or just install a fan controller to pulse the fan voltage or reduce the fan voltage. The air flow is then usually still enough for a good cooling, but the volume of the fan is massively reduced.
