Has anyone used the Panaflo FBH-12G12L on their rads?

[Eddie3dfx]

I'm curious if anyone on here has used the Panaflo FBH-12G12L 120MM aluminum fans on their radiators and how well they worked.
I got a good deal on 6 of them and snatched them up.

I figure after looking at martins chart, using 25mm fans on a radiator was a big fat waste.
2 25mm yateloons = 1 38mm fan in terms of static pressure.

They are older models and come in metal frames (38mm thick) I'm curious how they perform and seem to have a low db and high cfm.

Model: FBA-12G12L
Air flow: 68,9 CFM
Fan speed: 1700 RPM
Noise level: 30 dBA
Power: 2,6 Watts

I just picked up a number of these as well. How did they end up performing?

IIRC, they don't undervolt well. Kinda clicky...:shrug:

I havent used panflo's since the thermochill HE series radiator. :rofl:

Works well actually. very silent.
I'm trying to think how my fan controller works in terms of v.

If I pair these with the 88cfm yate loons, the fan controller starts the fan at 1600.. So I assume thats 9v. They don't start under 900rpm according to the fan controller, so I assume thats 5v.

They don't have rpm, so thats not the speed of the pana's but the yates.

These are different models. He posted that question to him before but he never responded.
These are all metal aluminum :rolleyes:

My plastic framed ones are great. But mine also undervolt fantastically, so I'm pretty something's changed since these metal-framed ones were built.

Thanks eddie. to be honest I wasn't hoping for top of the line performance, just decent undervolting and the bling of aluminum body fans. i have a couple (3) aluminum body san ace's that undervolt well but I snagged 8 of these panaflos for a price too good to pass up.
