I ordered a set of 8 of the blue LED's to see if they're better/quieter/brighter than the 5 Coolermaster one's I have facing the outside of my UFO case. I'm still reluctant to believe anything can beat these Sharkoon Golfball 2000's I have for all the internal fans I have in the case. My Scythe S-Flex were world's better than the Delta's, TT's, and others. However, the jump from S-Flex's to Golfballs were just as remarkable.Quote:

Hey, can't you like, buy super quiet fans that are not blingy then drill holes and make them blinged up?
ranker, Petra has UV LED yates ;)
Unsure if you're joking or not. Here's a link for ones in Victoria. I don't know what state you're in. There should be something similar in your state though.Quote:

Didn't notice the word UV in the description. I did purchase 8 of those earlier today.Quote:

No they aren't UV, not sure why people are calling them that. They are just blue LEDs.
The description says they're UV... at petra's. No other shop has them.Quote:

Yeah, we found that the fan itself is actually somewhat UV reactive--the LED's are still blue, though.Quote:

From what i have heard, ball YL are average fans at best.Quote:

WTF!!?? Our contact at Yate Loon said that they couldn't make a UV blue/LED version of the SM-12 (something to do with the type of plastic used)... Grrr.... looks like we have some e-mails to send. :slapass:Quote:

That's correct. Because the SM-12 and the SL-12 are, basically, the same fan, you can undervolt the M to match the specs of the L (assuming that you're matching RPM).Quote:

Erm... well... ehh... :para:Quote:

...Quoc decided to ship your order out before he left this evening, since he was going by the post office anyway. I guess we're a little too fast sometimes... :rolleyes:
How DARE you have such good service! You two should be ashamed of yourselves! :slapass:Quote:

Sounds like Petra's really needs to work on their customer satisfaction. I bought 4 SL's from Petra's to put in my fan panel of my Stacker 830, and just sold the case along with the fans to an employee of mine. I bought 4 SM's to replace them, and I'll be running them through a Sunbeam fan controller. I'll let you guys know how they work out. I couldn't believe my SL's, the only way I could hear them was putting my ear next to the side panel, and even then it was nothing more than a faint, low pitched wind noise. Whew, i still can't believe that package got here from Petra's in 5 days!
I know this is about W/Cing, but seeing there's a thread with Cathar getting involved ...... ;)Quote:

If my Panaflos don't tick (which they don't :clap: ) then what perceivable difference in airflow do these "Tricod Science" fans have? Would my PA.160 & PA120.2 benefit with the swap?
it's really sad to see companies go down this line isn't itQuote:

well maybe add 1 day processing or sitting on top of package would still be nice... esp with some uncertain buyers. the extra 24hours would be put to good use clarifying what he/she intends to buy.
Sorry I meant LED blue. The LED blues though are not 72cfm. They are 38cfm so if you're looking to move a lot of air they aren't ideal. I'm only using them at the top of the case for the outtake, so they're fine up there. No good for a rad.Quote:

240 rad
E6700 @ 3.3GHz
idle 32 load 36 - average about 34-35
Not too shabby.
I have a PA160 in P180 case...I use a Panaflo 120x38mm L1A fan at 7v...gives a better static pressure(than YL 120mm) and at 7v ..very low noise...(turn up for load to 12v and better cooling)....I also have a M1A....much louder and I never use itQuote:
