I'm looking for some NEAR-SILENT drop-in replacement fans (same size/dimensions) for the Dell C6100 that I can wire up to the existing Dell connector (4-wire, 5-pin connector)
I've been combing through the forum pages, and doing various web searches, but still haven't been able to find a replacement for the four extremely loud Delta PFC0812DE (PWM) fans inside the Dell C6100 Server Chassis.
Has anyone found any fans that will cut down significantly on energy usage, as well as noise/sound? I'm looking for fans as near to silent as possible.
Here are the stats on the existing fans that I'm looking to replace:
PFC0812DE-SP04
Series: PFC
Rated Voltage: 12VDC
Size/Dimension: Square - 80mm L x 80mm H x 38mm W
Air Flow: 132.6CFM
Static Pressure: 2.030 in H20 (505.7 Pa)
Bearing Type: Ball
Fan Type: Tubeaxial
PWM Control; Speed Sensor (Tach)
Noise: 65 dB(A)
Power(watts): 33.0W
RPM: 9000RPM
Termination: 4 wire leads
Current Rating: 2.75A
Voltage Rating: 10.8 ~13.2VDC
Life Expectancy: 50000hrs @ 40° C
Delta Fan specs are here:

I'd love to find something that will do equal cooling, but hopefully use FAR less electricity/watts (cheaper on the energy bill) and also be NEAR-SILENT (as quiet as possible).
Does anyone know of anything out there? What is SuperMicro using on the newest 2013/2014 server cases? Has anyone found any 80mm x 38mm PWM near-silent fans that cut down on energy usage?
Thanks,
Mark
