Ar3s, thank you.

I've been intentionally ignoring this thread for awhile if some haven't noticed. Simply put, I was getting sick of fans and figured going cold-turkey was the best way to overcome :p:

Round 2 will be going up soonish...I'm at home for winter break and don't have much to do, didn't bring any movies or music home with me either, just my giant .xlsx file :p:

Few more graphs this time as well I think.

Also planning for Round 3. Though formal testing probably won't begin until April. Major testbed update is planned. Round 3 MAY also see the return of the CPU-cooling tests. The new Scythes are definitely going to be tested....though I do laugh at the Slipstreams' ratings.

And what do you have to say about the Noiseblocker i talked about in the other post...? Good, bad, above the real deal!?
;)

Haven't tested it. It's sister fans, Akasa Amber and Coolink SWiF-1202, are very bad (among the worst in each test, actually). That does not guarantee the Noiseblocker will be bad though...

Cant wait Vapor for your new roundup :up:

But do you think the specs might be wrong? Because they are very good.
And in other forums they talk about them, and say it's one of the best fans in CFM/db. SX1 - 17db 38cfm

What i want to know is did going Cold Turkey work ? cause i'm so addicted to fans now.

the new Noctua P12 series are 19dB 54cfm.. will try them once the US distro ships them out.

Cold turkey worked....Round 2 is up. Little bit more to come, but I need sleep. All the data is there, I just show it in more ways later :)

Great stuff your'e doing keep up the good work

looks like scythe has finally released the s-flex g 1900rpm 75cfm 34dBA
http://scythe.co.jp/

thats a pretty low cfm/dba ratio dont you think? =T

Didn't notice this, hope they're good :)

I have been told by our supplyer that Papst 4412FGML has been decommisioned :(

Anybody know what is the best thing to go for ?
I know the Zalman and IT ROCKS :D
