I was waiting for someone to release a fan with this tech...anyone using one? They look like the best of every world. They should replace even the best fans for performance/noise ratio.

*Editted with Newegg link...Didn't see them there earlier.

wow, 63.7 cfm at 28db, thats awesome.

Yeah, it was a fairly big thing when Sony patented the tech...It's going in all their electronics (tv's, etc)...and now finally someone licensed it for sale on stand-alone fans in the US. I'm expecting them to steal Yate-Loon and Sanyo's thunder.

From what I understand, the press release from Scythe came out 22nd of January, so they're pretty new, and the first of their kind.

I would've put it in the news section, but figured it's kinda old news...and noone prolly cares about fans... :p

Someone that has some Deltas or YL/SD's should compare them.

I have mostly 80mm's and the only 120's I have are the ones stock in my Stacker (Hey, we have the same case and fan controller! ). I'm thinking of picking a few up though for the ol' case, and perhaps when I switch wawa solutions to something using 120mm fans. Definately look quiet enough to make my computer less noticable sound-wise without compromising performance.

Thanks for that link. That thread is pretty new so at least i'm not out of the loop.

While he says the noise differance is nil, what's really important about a silent fan is that if it still moves a good deal of air, as most don't...There's usually a substantial drop in CFM's at under 30db, which is where it usually becomes audible (At least to me.) Hopefully that one guy does a comparison between all that he mentioned, that would be very cool.

Does anyone know the specs of the globalwin fan they talk about? I havn't seen/heard of that before. It must be under 30db, but what's the cfm rating and thickness?

I have it... i got a DOA fan.

While it worked for about 3 minutes, it was great... but i don tknow if it got damaged during shipping or what, but the fan fell off the motor lol.

anyway, it is made in china, looks to be pretty high quality though. Not bad, just a little expensive, as all fans are from newegg.

Newegg aslo has few fans from Antec with same noise/performance level but for lower price. But those new ball bearings surely would encrease fan`s lifetime.

Yah, i wish i had taken a picture when the fan fell off. Looks really nice inside where the fan attaches to the motor.


I just put a panaflo 120mm on my big typhoon! Wow did it help.

Thermaltake's 120mm Thunderblades push 78 CFM at 21dB(A). Seems to be the best.
