Actually - they tested the clear LED one. I have the original black plastic one with no LEDs. I don't just sit and look at computers all day you know!
I swear by them, 80mm there is NOTHING that goes better in a ATCs case, dead silent and push good air. Expensive but there is nothing better at 80mm out there.
SilenX I swear by them, silent, push a good amount of air and are not £50 a fan which for me is the money you spend to beat them. Do not know why everyone hates them so much, I never look at fan specs anyway since Thermlatake released a fan that did 100cfm+ at 9db.
Don't knock SilenX until you try them, they are my favourite brand of fan but I buy Ambers at 120mm as you can get 2x more for your money and they are not that far behind at 7v and 5v.
Oh and just to clear up this argument. The specs for ALL fans are way off, they differ from case to case, and there are manufacturing tolerances to take into acount, you also have to accept that all manufacturers take there readings from different distances.
SilenX fans are actually acurately tested, just from a different distance to most others.
E.G. I could make a 200cfm 200db Delta be marked up as 0db without breaking the law if I took my readings from the otherside of a nuclear fallout shelter. As long as if someone asked I said it was from there I would be ok and not mis-selling.
Fans are a case of try them and see what you like, just don't hop on the hate SilenX bandwagon.
