Look at the 120mm Wing design. 64.3CFM at 25dba would make it a top contender.. if true. Also removable blades for cleaning are a great idea.

Vapor... ummm... Round 4 of your tests? :D

Interesting. At least its not something ridiculous like 95 cfm at 19 dB. Removable blades are convenient, but IMO may be asking for trouble down the road.

all fans look nice on paper, but many times actual performance is different. they do look nice though. anyone wanna be the guinea pig excluding vapor? he does his fair share of fan testings

Looks better than some fans, and numbers don't seem blatantly outrangeous, although still a little inflated. Magnetic bearings, probably similar to what the Scythe, Panaflo, and Noctuas are using, which certainly isn't a bad thing. But yeah, no N.A distros right now.

Those fans are totally different. Note the support braces for the motor, they are completely backwards from each other. Also the taper inside the blade area on the Nanoxia is much more pronounced and bigger. There's other subtle little changes as well but those are the biggest ones that stick out.

What are you talking about? I mean it's not as if it is going to -----------

Hmm maybe this isn't such a ripping idea huh.

To me the Silent-model's fin-shape would look promising for radiator use as it's quite curved. Hopefully we'll get some experiences from these soon.

This thread's been dead for a while, but I'm thinking of getting some fans and need the advice.

Would these Gelids be any match for the Skythe S-flex Line of fans? I know it's wishful thinking as these are 2x as cheap, but any experience with these?

Edit: Specifically, I'm looking at these fans - http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=34071&vpn=FN-PX12-15&manufacture=Gelid%20Solutions%20Ltd.&promoid=1016
