Which model Yate Loon?

jamesgoss · 2 May 2009 at 14:18

Ok, I'm looking to buy these today, so I was hoping to get some quick replies if possible!

Are the 1650 RPM Yate Loons (SM) much louder than the 1300 RPM (SL) ones?

I want to buy 3 (2 at front of case and 1 exhaust)

I'd ideally like to buy 3 of the 1650RPM ones for max air flow, but if they sound like a plane taking off, I could mix and match (2 slow at the front, one fast at the back?).

What do you think guys?

Thanks in advance!

I have two of the S models and they're undervolted to 7V. They keep my 4870 and [email protected] cool enough, and at 7V they're pretty much inaudible.

The faster models will probably never be inaudible.

Thanks for your reply. I was under the impression a lot had the "S" prefix to their model number? So I'm afraid I don't know which ones you mean

Sorry, I mean the "L" version. The SL is the low speed version, the SM and SH are medium and high speed respectively.

Thanks for the advice!
