catweazle1 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) Snotbottom, I would think about getting an ec fan, they'll be standard in a few years. They are quieter, cheaper to run and have more options for intelligent control. Edited July 13, 2023 by catweazle1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snotbottom Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 Ok so I tried one on the ruck, it worked but the fan buzzed like a bucket of wasps , I had a feeling it might, any suggestions on slowing a ruck without the added noise apocalypse? Cash is tight so need cheap options? Its a six inch fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
