I have one on my media centers NH-U12, but honesty i prefer the Yates.

Does anyone know if Yates makes 92mm and 80mm fans? I need some in these size for an old case of mine. Could someone point out a store that sells them if they do? LED alternatives would be nice too from Yates.

If yates doesn't make them, does anyone know what is the next best in the 92mm and the 80mm as well? LED suggestions would be nice too. I purchased some AC Ryan 92's but i'm not sure they'll be quiet or powerful enough.

Anyone know if a Sunbeam Rheobus can handle 3 yates or 3 sharkoons on one channel?

however 3, i dont know.

Yes, the Rheobus can handle 3 on one channel. I have it controlling the 3 on my PA 120.3. No issues whatsoever.

If you get several of those fans you can test them with a multimeter to see at what voltage they start spinning. Once you know that you can put the three with the closest values on the Rad so that they all spin up at the same time. :D

Do you have 3 Yates or 3 golfballs on one channel? And if they're Yates, are they the LED ones?

Don't own a multimeter yet =/. I'm guessing it might take a bit more voltage for the LED fans than the non LED fans but I'm unsure of how that will change anything. Anyone know specifically if 3 LED yates will work on one channel in the sunbeam?

I have 3 yates and no, they are not the LED type. If you already have the rheobus and fans you can test to see if they will work by plugging in each fan to one another and then plugging one of the 3 pins into the rheobus.

LEDs don't use a whole lot of power so while they probably will require a bit more juice to get going, I doubt it will be a whole lot.

Some of my best Yates can start up on 2.3 V!

Yup, these can be regarded as the "best bang for the buck" fans.

Just saw these on Jab-tech as new products: http://www.jab-tech.com/YATE-LOON-12...s-pr-3773.html

Anyone know what the difference is between that model and the other one they carry and the one petra's carries?

SYD to LA - I think its the furthest a regular passenger jumbo can go without refueling; at least the biggest qantas have ... :shocked:
