Thanks Vapor. Also do you lubricate yours before installing or is this an unnecessary step?

I just buy them and use them....though many of the old-school San Ace users did do their own lubricating (or had someone do it for them).
Thanks. So I am going to do a push/pull configuration at 5v on my MCR220 Rads (I have 2), any thoughts?
Thanks,

The H101 is the same as the 1011, except it's ribbed. That means the corners aren't open like a regular fan. I got a few of these last week from Dan @ thermal fx, and they are legit. http://store.thermalfx.com/merchant2...egory_Code=120Quote:

hello all,
is Thermochill PA120.3 with 3 SilenX Ixtrema Pro are good match ?
Silenx fans are very overated. They make more noise than what the company claims. Accoriding to vapors testing they dont push much airflow through the rad either
i have also read many complaints from users that had their silenx fans spit oil on their computer parts....
if you want silence i would go with some S-flex, or undervolted Zalman/ yate loons
for performance use you might want to look at the scythe ultra kaze, san ace or some high speed yates
the silence is not so important, but i want fan that give me the best from the two worlds.
then you can best get a utra kaze 3000+ a fan controller..this fan performs really well on rads..
Or a ultra kaze 2000 (does make noise but its tolerable from what i heard..another option is some medium speed yates
ok so the best for it is some KAZA or YATES ?
becuase i have alredy 2 of the silenx and want to know if i buy only 1, or to buy 3 other fans.
some one know maybe what are the best for PA120.3 ? or their is not something constant.
The Silenx are known for apparently being quite crap and reaching intolerable levels of noise within a short time period. The Yate Loons are cheap and will serve you well, I would personally go with them.
ok thank i order the Yate Loon D12SH...
utnorris, i also put some oil on some noisy San Ace, and they performed quieter... if you have the space for push pull config they go for it, other wise suggest on pull config should be enough...
iowamoe, for the ribbed San Ace, there is always the dremel with cutting disk option to make them open type...
taotao the cheapest well worth your money would be the yate loons... but those kaze ultras are also good for the radiator at 38mm thickness...
What do you use, and how do you oil the sanyo ace? Is this something I should have done before I installed them?Quote:

Since I had so many just laying around I did a push/pull on both of my Rads at 5v. It's pretty quiet and I am now getting 10-12c lower since I added the second MCR220 rad even though I added the northbridge fusion block to the system, that's under OCCT load, so I am pretty pleased with my new configuration. Anyway, I still have a few laying around, so I may see if anyone is interested in them on the forums. They were pulled out of servers so they would need to have new connectors added to them, but they work and I still can't get over how much air they push. Anyway, thanks for the advice everyone,
Utnorris
i removed the san ace white sticker, took out the locking ring, slid out the first bearing inside, drops of oil on the 2nd bearing, then also drops of oil on the first bearing that i took out, then re-assembled it and place back the locking ring. level of difficulty around 4/5 if you don't know what you're doing and don't have the proper tools and patience...
question : do the ultra kaze's use sleeve or ball bearings?
i love my panaflo's :up:
I have the same fans in a push/pull configuration on 2 GTX240's and they really push the air. Some of them made a weird clicking noise but when I turned them upside down it stopped. So I put the one's that clicked on the top rad and the good one's on the bottom rad. No problems and they perform really well. I have the red LED one's. They are overrated on the box for noise but they do perform very well.Quote:

hmm... where can i buy Yate Loon D12SH-124UB... PTS doesnt seem to have them.
Petras doesn't sell the SM or SH (or even 1350RPM SL varieties) because their supplier (Yate Loon themselves) doesn't make said fans. Yate Loon is concerned about additional/errant noise above 1250RPM from the plastic used for the clear varieties so Yate Loon simply doesn't make the fans.
so basically they stop making them cause of the noise from the plastic they used...? well you know any good led fans to put on rads?
Yate Loon has never made the fans. The ones you see at other retailers are basically Yate Loon in name only--they're not the same thing that Petra's gets directly from Yate Loon.
As for a high-ish speed LED fan? No clue personally. But other people do like the Zalman F3 with the various LED version it comes in.
ah ok thanks vapor....never thought fan shopping would be this hard lol
how about AC Ryan fans?
