Just wondering whether OcUK can get hold of Panasonic Panaflo 120mm fans? The current 120mm fans don't really have anything that pushes more than 53CFM at the 30decibels mark. The akasa ambers and vantec stealth don't push enough air for using them on a heatsink and the ys-techs are getting a touch too loud.

These panaflo's have nice specs, and are the recommended fans to use with the thermalright si-120.

Or maybe even some SilentX fans, which are also have good specs.

Also, can't seem to find a uk store selling them fans.
 
I'd rather have the 4th one down and put it on 5volts. Anything more needed would be during games and the noise wouldnt matter then ?

The specs are fabulous works of fiction!SilenX are re-badged Addas with resistors to slow them down to quietness but the airflow numbers are what they would have done had they not been slowed down. Allegedly.
 
Have a hunt around, the 120mm Panaflos aren't hard to find. I just ordered one yesterday for my SI-120 as the Akasa Amber isn't quite cutting it on there. Can be had from a shop similarly named to this one.
 
I have just received and installed 3 Panasonic Panaflo (FBA12G12L1A) fans in my Eclipse 62 and on my Si120. My case and Cpu temps reduced. (I was using Stealths).

They are sweet, excellent flow, low noise and super high Quality. Fantastic!!!(appols for that one)

OCUK do the members a service and get some in quick!

I think I may have found it, did you pay £13.13 inc vat for it?

Yeh thats what I paid for them:) Hopefully should get here tomorrow so I can have a play with it, see how much better is works on my SI-120!
 
It'd be nice to also have some Aerocool Fans. They're very nice indeed - good airflow, very quiet, and even look good.
 
Yup, aerocool look good too. But panaflo's...heard nothing but good things about them...would be great if Overclockers can get hold of them :)
 
Just stuck my new Panaflo on and ran an OCCT test on it... heres the results...

Seems to run cooler than the Akasa while idling by about 5C, when under load the Akasa would go up over 50C sometimes so looks like its dropped that down a fair bit as well:)

It is noticeably louder though, how do I go about 7v ing it?
 
lol didnt think of it that way... I need to wait for my cold to go anyway, its blocked up my head and ears and is making things like my PC seems stupidly loud. Might solder a sensor wire onto it as well, sure I've got a spare few somewhere.
