    Has anyone in UK used HighFlow

    Hi, Im thinking of buying some Gentle typhoons from Highflow who are a Dutch watercooling shop. I was wondering if anyone else in the UK has used them?
    The GT's are out of stock in the UK for about 5 weeks so although its going to cost a bit more I would rather pay extra than wait LOL

    I'm not in UK but Belgium & other than being a little more expensive than some other shops I frequent their selection and service is top notch.

    I've bought tons of stuf in the highflow shop and they always provided me with excellent service. I recommend sending them an e-mail to get some more information about shipping & prices.

    i order from HF all the time

    they accept paypal and include chocolates with your order

    the range of stock they have beats all uk sellers hands down - for most stuff i go to chilledpc or WCUK
    but for things like b!tspower/koolance [the harder to get stuff] they are very good and delivery is prompt too

    as a side note, their english is superb and communications were quick

    Thanks guys, I have placed the order.
    Postage was a bit more than I was expecting @ 24 euro for 3 GT's 1850rpm. I have highlighted this to Highflow so hopefully they will drop it a little.

    LOL, I have 3 Noctua P12's which im not happy with because they only go between 1225-1350 rpm and dont seem to shift much air, I have a friend who wants to buy them so Im upgrading to GT's. I have not read anywhere of someone being sorry they purchased GT's
    I think your right about price, I was thinking of just getting some 2000rpm YL's 3 for the price of 1 GT but Im the kind of person who will always wonder, So I must have GT's LOL

    You want real sticker shock, look at the price for Triebwerk, NoiseBlocker M12's or SilenX. Compared to those 3, what is being charged for the GT is quite reasonable.

    Fans arrived two days after ordering with a packet of sweets in the box LOL, Now running at less RPM = Less noise than Noctua's but temps are down 4c plus I can turn the GT's up and Now can Prime 4.2 HT on @ 60c. I was in high 70's on Noctua's, Im well chuffed. Thanks for all advise people. GT's and Highflow Recommended.

    They're in the price range of the S-Flexes which are some of the most popular fans I can think of, and the GT's are superior IMO.

    They are amazingly well balanced and vibration free, super high quality bearings and build quality. You can just tell when you hold them in your hands. They're so well balanced that when you turn off your system, the fans keep spinning for like 30 seconds. Amazing static pressure and airflow/noise ratio.

    They aren't really that expensive if you look around... I got mine for $13 ea from moddersmart, that's pretty darn cheap for what you are getting; these fans will last for years and years.

    All three of the yate loons would burn out in succession before the single GT even started to feel tired

    i try to order with them once but after seeing they charge me sales tax for foreign order(asia).i decided to canceled the order.
    i never been charge for sales taxes except this one. I think it's very odd.
    I often shop from US retailer and try aqua computer a couple day ago and neither are them charge me for sales tax.

    @ Boyu, please sent an email to the shop (info @ highflow . nl) with your address information.
    Then it will be checked if the taxes are set correctly, if not, it will be corrected.

    allready email them asking about sales tax, they respond :

    Shipments to foreign countries are always inclusive VAT.
    >
    > Unless you are a businesspartner, then VAT is calculated in
    > the country
    > itself.
    >
    > Kind Regards / Met vriendelijke groet,

    AFAIK sales tax only calculated for EU customer if you shop in EU shop.For country besides Eu the tax will be pay in destination country.
