Hi Guys
I have been doing a bit of testing recently and have found a fan that I can happily recommend to users as a replacement for the eternally popular Gentle Typhoon.
Comparing the GT in real world tests to this fan is quite strange as they are both so similar when ran together that it is almost impossible to tell the difference.
This fan is superb for use in watercooling applications and easily matches the GT in many areas. The main advantage in my eyes is that the slight bearing whine from the more industrial focussed bearings in the GT is gone as the FQ121 uses a different sort of fan bearing.
I have forwarded some ideas to Silverstone also about potentially making an all black and all white model of this fan as well as offering a none PWM variant.
SST-FQ121 Advantages:
Silverstone SST-FQ121 FQ Series 1225 PWM @ £7.99 inc VAT
FQ121 represents SilverStone’s pursuit of a design that balances performance and tranquility. Its included PWM module allows motherboard to control fan speed and regulate the temperature inside your chassis with optimal efficiency. FQ121’s nine-bladed design maximizes airflow with ridged edges to provide stable static pressure. These features not only improve ventilation but also decrease operating noise.
The features of the FQ121 make it perfect for watercooling, with high static pressure and low noise, this fan is perfect for use with low FPI radiators such as the Black Ice SR-1 range from Hardware Labs and XSPC RXV3 High Performance Radiators.
PWM design allows 1000~1800rpm fan speed control by motherboard
Optimum airflow, pressure and extremely silent performance
Innovative blade design focuses airflow with maximum efficiency
Air-inlet with optimized aerodynamic design reduces noisy air turbulence
Specifications:-

SST-FQ121 Advantages:
- Similar, Tightly clustered blade design to a GT
- Quieter than an 1850 GT at max RPM
- smaller bearing hub means less of a radiator dead spot
- PBT plastic blades
- Much higher MTBF than a GT
- Higher max CFM than a GT
- Much lower price than a GT
- PWM Control
- no bearing whine like on a GT
