The Silenx are only 8CFM, the original fans are 23CFM (Cubic Feet per Min).
These will not cool the finals enough and may damage the rig.
Get yourself a set of ThermalTake Duramax 6 fans.
These have a higher output than the original fans but less than half the

Ed,
The FLEX-5000A has a large diameter, slow speed fan. Consequently, it is
virtually silent already.

Unfortunately the Thermaltake ISGC Fan 8 is too big at 80mm and you need
60mm

Have a new 3000, also had one when they first came out, this one seems
to have a louder fan noise level, than the older one. Has anyone taken a look
at the fan assembly to see if the bearings are serviceable .
thanks

I felt like you, and even tried the Silenx fans. They were certainly
wonderfully quiet, but looking at the rig temperature (CNTL-SHIFT-I) shows
the rig gets hotter with the quiet fans. Apparently they don't move enough
air. Rigs hate heat, and I hate noise, but rigs hate heat more :) If

Another solution is to develop tinnitus.
After well over three decades in industrial control, much being spent
around paper machines, I have a constant ringing in my ears that
completely swamps any PC or radio fan noise. I just turn the speaker
volume up or wear headphones.

As you know, tinnitus bothers the heck of some people while others
(like me) just ignore it. Interestingly, one of the standard
treatments for tinnitus in people who are seriously impaired by it is
to mask it with white noise. Once again, this demonstrates the extent
to which such matters are

The egg nog just adds some color to the alcohol so it's easier to tell

Y'know, Duane, rather than going to all that trouble, you could just
get some quiet fans. Noctua (a German company, I don't think they
have much presence in the amateur radio market) makes low speed (~1200
rpm) fans in 80mm, 120mm, and 140mm sizes. They are about $25 each
and they make less

A solution that suits the user is all that matters. I have space
limitations and could not implement your solution if i wanted to. So for
me...quiet fans.

Well I really don't like headphones for one, and more importantly
they make it hard to listen to 4 or 5 radios at one time. And a key to
listening to that many radios at one time is having the ability to
spatially orientate the various audio sources,
