I've decided to buy a bunch of scythe slipstream fans for my pc case. Unfortunately I'm unable to find the 1200rpm versions available here in Portugal right now.

I'd like to have my fans running at ~1000 / ~1350 rpm if possible.

I saw a review on SilentPCReview on these fans and they claimed that, at 5v, the 1600rpm version would do roughly 900rpm. I wanted to know if that number is correct. Seems suitable for me.

I have no fan controllers, and my motherboard lacks the 3pin connectors for all my fans, so I can only get 5v or 12v without hard work. Maybe 7v but I heard that is not so healthy for PSU's.
