Hey all!
Getting ready for a new grow and want to switch out the fans in my platinumLED P4-XML2 light. The current fans are rated (from what I could find out on the internet) at 91.06 cfm @ 44dbA.
Was thinking of going with some fan from Noctua or Be Quiet! but when I saw the amount of air the stock fans move, to have the same performance I need to go the Noctua industrial route with their NF-F12 fans which are rated at around 71 cfm @ 29.7dbA.
So, my question for those that have changed out fans them selves, did you keep up with the stock cfm ratings or did you go a lot lower? Don't really want to burn the lights out but the stock fans sound like a jet engine.
Tips on fans (120mm) are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
