Im thinking of getting these (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=69&products_id=21340) fans for my rads (240 & 480GTX).

Anyone know how these perform?... i cant find anything here on them

I asked in the fan rating thread but no replies . . .they sure are pretty tho!

I use BlackFires on my Autopsy build in push/pull on Black Ice GTX 240s and they seem to work well while providing the needed amount of bling

Thanks. I'd heard they were a bit noisy (just a vague recollection though tbh), but if they perform as advertised 29db doesn't sound bad at all.

I've just removed 8 Blackfire4 Kameleon Fan from my Duality........

They push alot of air but are make a fair bit of noise, I had them on 7v to keep the noise down!
The UV LED's are dull not powerful to light anything UV reactive in the case...... :(

I'm planning on using Xilence Pro Fan 120L 1400RPM 120mm with blue LEDs, not as powerful but nice and quite at full speed.

UV LEDS and cathodes will not give enough light to do much anyways . . .I am starting to use 12" UV Florescent lights that are 12V . . .I just splice into the auto connector and put on a molex . . .insta mod you can power with your psu . . .WAY better UV lighting!

then you run into the classic problem of those lights generating too much heat in a closed box :\

Hence why they were kinda phased out to CCFL's.
