Taking Air Cooling To A New Level?

wentalong · 23 Apr 2011 at 17:55

hey guys,

thinking of getting a H50 ( http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-002-CS&groupid=962&catid=1532&subcat= )
for a Phenom 955 BE build, and i've been looking for a few fans to put a push/pull system on there and i found these beasts:

they're only like £20 each and are an amazing 5400RPM!!! have a look at this

INSANE!

they sound like jets, but im not one to care about noise

how cool do yah think ill be running with two of them?!?!?

OCuK Should DEFINATLEY start to stock some higher RPM fans like these as im not too impressed by the ones they have atm :O

next level cooling!!!!

RPM isn't the only thing to think about yknow

. Gotta remember the fan design/noise level is usually important to most people. After getting to a level of extreme noise for cooling, most would prefer switching to a custom water loop to get the same amount of cooling with a lot less noise.

Also £20 is very expensive for a single fan. D=

"Gentle"?

wentalong · 23 Apr 2011 at 18:04

Good god, thats shocking. No way could I tolerate that. Years ago people use to have kittens about the noise levels of the GeForce FX 5800 Ultra's.

Is that 150CFM? can air pressure damage the fins on these radiators over long periods of time at those speeds without spacers...

coldfused · 23 Apr 2011 at 18:15

Damn thats loud....

wentalong · 23 Apr 2011 at 18:16

llool loverlyyyy

where can you buy these delta fans? cant find them anywhere on the web?

Delta shifts twice as much air!!!! I dont think the Scythe in the OP is amongst the others tested tho, unless its the one that shifts a measly 61CFM

I still have a Vantec Tornado somewhere, 55dB

the Delta, 67.6DBA, and its logarithmic scale so is multiple times louder.

Probably need a set of these:

You know you have problems when you start going "eh" to a lot of people. Or you can still hear bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz in your sleep while the computer is off.

hmm, might get some of those gentle typhoons. i need something a bit quieter than my AMD stock cooler.

looking at the lack of movement of the wires in front of the fan, i would say its pretty hopeless, and that you should get the delta thing instead, which was rated very highly in this review: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coolers/display/120mm-fan-roundup-2_15.html

wentalong · 23 Apr 2011 at 18:27

never heard of the deltas before

but they sound pretty awsome :O will the massive airflow ruin the fins on the cooler?

Emphacy · 23 Apr 2011 at 18:28

Reminds me of Pneumonics EXtreme Air Cooling Thread. If you can beat that on air cooling, go for it

powelly · 23 Apr 2011 at 18:28

stick your thing in it while it is at max speed, go on, i dares ya

oh yeah and i prefer my ear drums intact thanks

dB or dBA is a logarithmic scale.
