Very good fan roundup

Just what I've been looking for, thanks for posting this mate.

Don't be afraid to post in the product suggestions forum if there's any you'd like OcUK to stock. With enough demand for the best products they'd be foolish not to stock them.
 
Thanks guys. Hopefully i've linked to this thread in the suggestions forum so hopefully we should see some new stuff popping up. :D

Just a shame they missed Sharkoon fans.
 
I'd certainly be interested in the Noiseblocker XL2's, they sound perfect as new case fans. One online retailer has them for £7.54, if OcUK could match that i'd buy 4 tomorrow.

I'm not sure the sharkoons quite match up in terms of performance to some of these newer fans (I assume you're referring to the golf balls), though a lot of people find them aesthetically pleasing.
 
Good review and good analysis especially the airflow at a set volume but they spoilt what might have being the definitive review.

All that review gives us is the best fans for cases or low resistance coolers. It might be a totally different result with a dense fin cpu cooler or a radiator.

The problem is that the noiseblocker has really poor air pressure and hence performs poorly on radiators and dense coolers compared to its competition.

In thise review taking account of air pressure generated, the noise blocker is in the bottom third.

The gentle typhoon outperforms it by a large margin.

So fairly useless of them to just pick three fans on the cpu cooler test and a total waste to pick an undense cpu cooler.

On the basis of that review, I can see loads of people rushing out and buying them and be disappointed with the results on certain coolers.

So to sum up, use this review for case fans only...........
 
Sorry but I agree with Greebo - why on earth would they test a CPU Heatsink using the Noctua S12 and not the P12 which is designed specifically for a high static pressure, ie exactly what heatsinks or rads need?

Again as greebo said: great review for case fans!
