Observation - LED Biocube 32 Fan

[Scurvy Dawg]

Thanks. I'll keep looking I came across a few but they fall in about 25Dba so I'll keep looking.

Also keep in mind, that alot of the higher end 60mm fans will come with a 3rd wire. I think this wire is for monitoring the fan rpm. For your use, just leave the 3rd wire unconnected.

Isn't the 3rd wire the grounding wire?

You who got the Silenx 60mm fans. Did it have a short cable, 4" and was that a problem?

And is it correct to assume you just soldered the wires together?

What did you do with the extra wires, just tape them off?

I just cut the wire from the old fan and spliced the end that connects to the hood to the wires that came with the fan. The third wire I just cut close to the fan and put some electrical tape on the end. No soldering for me.

The third wire is used to transmit the RPM speed of the fan back to the PC motherboard and not needed in our setups

Confused - my BioCube 32 does not have a fan???

Bought it on Amazon during the past 30 days or so.

Is this b/c new lights in 32 gal. models run cooler and no longer require an exhaust fan?

I was looking for a fan when I saw one on my fish shop's BioCube.

Is this built-in - or not built-in - based on how new the model is?

the BC32 hood had a fan but the original intent of this thread was to find one that was quieter and/or more powerful especially when putting in better lights
