Do they list a static pressure number anywhere on/in the packaging?

I'm just playing with the fan's i have atm...

I was surprised how quiet my Xinruilian RDL1225S 120 mm fan is and seems to blow a fair bit of air... i wish i had the tools to measure cfm/dba

lol that's not my aim with my build.... none of our rig's are shi... :ROTF:

thanks mate hopefully be finished in a week or so.....

question fellaz:

with the mounting if the ek block... i put the o-ring then distancer than barb? is that correct???

and the un-used hole's i put the plug in???

don't want to mount it incorrectly

cheers guys

ok mounted the ek block... took about 45mins lol very fiddly....abit of pita really but it looks great... post pic's soon

cheers

I don't care 'bout no stinkin' EK block!

I don't care 'bout no stinkin' slipstream fans!

I don't care 'bout no stinkin' 80mm fans either!

I want test results comparing the YL to the Ultra Kaze's....NOW DAMMIT!

:p: ;) :lol2:

Barbs on copper side = no spacer.
Barbs on delrin or acrylic side = use spacer. Spacer o-ring seals to block, barb 0-ring seals to spacer.
What you're doing is ensuring the barbs' threads don't protrude into the water chamber. So everything depends on what barbs are used and where.
Bloody amazing how fast Quoc can get stuff to us in Oz. Faster than many locals do.

Awesome :)

Waiting for pics!

BTW: I told ya! Those block are a bit of a pita to hook on a 8800GTX.

Trick seems to be not over-tightening the outer screws.
I got a much better mount second time round, after getting a good look at the first's TIM distribution.

Pre-min fan result's

Fan's tested

Yate loon D12SM-12 33dba 70cfm
Scythe slip stream 33dba 88cfm
Scythe ultra kazes 32.91dba 87cfm
Xurillian fan 32dba 70cfm

D12SM: the quietest @ high,med and low out the 4 fan's tested pushes more than the Xurillian but less than the scythe's... surprised how quiet it was :)
Xurillian: Pushes the least air, @ all setting's has annoying rattling noise @ all setting's
Scythe slip stream: Pushes more air than the d12sm and xurillian @ all setting's Inaudible @ low very quiet @ med and noticeable but not to bad @ high
Scythe ultra kasez: Pushes equal or a tad more compared to slip stream inaudible @ low quiet @ med Pushed most air , loudest out all four fan's tested @ high.... by a fair bit slight whining noise and rattling noise (might be faulty fan will test another 1 to be sure)

Results after a very quick test... looks like a 3 horse race here d12sm,slip stream and scythe ultra kaze more to continue tomorrow :)

I wish ground was that fast.:( I ordered last Thursday and won't get mine until this Thursday. If I order UPS ground from anyone else, I get it in 3 days. I'm not spending another ~$8-9 (I can't afford) to get my stuff 2 days faster. This is about the only area I see that Petra needs to improve upon.

Hmm, from these results, it looks like I stay with the SM's. I'll wait for full results before deciding for certain though.

SMALL UPDATE:

that all for now...

Next fan result's and modding of my v2000 case enjoy!!!

You know its just a couple of drill holes and some filing to make your own single slot end plate.
I bought one in a pile of stuff but its very easy to make from a spare blanking plate.

25ft on tubing...
