Poll Fan Noise Preferences

[Martinm210]

In my radiator testing, I purposely test the following fans. I didn't really pick these because I think they are the best, more than anything I just wanted a wide range of fan "Power" to test on the radiator to compare with. The Yate loons happen to be extremely well performing fans at a low cost and the Kazes are low cost, but not nearly as good as many other. Rather than voting for brand I was more looking to get a feel for a more generalize "I like this RPM range fan and happy with the amount of noise it produces".

Yate Loon D12SM12 120mm x 25mm - 70.5cfm/1350 RPM/33 db (open air)

• Ultra Slow Speed Fans - Undervolted 25mm to 1000 RPM - 36+- Open air CFM
• Slow Speed Fans - Undervolted 25mm to 1350 RPM - 47+- Open air CFM
• Medium Speed Fans - Voltage 25mm adjusted to 1550 RPM - 70+- Open air CFM

Scythe Ultra Kaze DFS123812-3000 - 136cfm/3000 RPM/45.9 db (open air)

• High Speed Fans - Undervolted 38mm to 2000 RPM - 88+- Open air CFM
• Ultra High Speed Fans - Voltage adjusted 38mm to 2930 RPM

And I was just curious to find out which of these categories fits most users out there?

So, I figured the best way to do that is a poll..

Count me in for the Slow Speed 1350RPM 25mm category.

And if you think you're somewhere in between categories you can pick two.
