Case Fans

adam1v · 9 Apr 2008 at 19:30

I was looking at a quiet but relatively powerful fan that I could run at constant full flow (since ive never bothered with fan controllers).

The Scythe S-FLEX seems to have very impressive reviews everywhere, I was just wondering if anyone has any first hand experience with these?

Ideally, I think id prefer a blue LED fan, but if these are as good as i've been reading I dont mind going without.

I've heard good reviews about these to. Other people also seem to recommend the yate loon case fans.

Noctua expensive but good air pushes and nice and quiet!

Yate loon Fantastic value for money!

Sharkoon good air pushes not as quiet as noctua!

Thats what i have used and settled on the noctua :cool:

wow. the noctua's:

Fan Speed: 1300RPM / 1100RPM / 900RPM
- Airflow: 54.3CFM / 46.2CFM / 37.3CFM
- Fan Noise: 19.8 dB / 16.9 dB / 12.6 dB

that is staggering low for the 1300RPMs.
Yes, they are a few quid more, but might be a wise investment I think.

Manufacturers specs can never be trusted. I'm using 2 1600rpm scythes atm, they quite quiet at 7v, can just hear the air they're pushing
