Hwlabs BIX - at which CFM better than BIP?

[Monge]

I should like to know if BIX III is so bad for Yate Loons compared with BIP III and at which point (CFM) the BIP's get better?
Everybody around net keep saying, that the BIX is so and so bad for low noise fans like Yate Loon.

But is it true and any hardtest that proove that statement?

So the question is, at which point the BIX will beat the BIP?

[Viktor]

With fans over 100cmf, for example San Ace.

With fans over 100cmf, for example San Ace.

Yeah, I'm sure it will > 100CFM

But look at this chart:
http://www.watercoolplanet.de/index....renz&order=ASC

An Enermax 120mm at 1500 RPM pushing 63 CFM:

BIX: 2.9K
BIP: 3.2K

So according to this the BIX and BIP will be performing the same at aprox. 55 CFM

But where is the point where it turns and BIP will take the leadership?

you should wait little bit longer then I'm sure you will see some testing on new BIP radiators from HWLabs

what does it matter? you are only cooling two blocks. the surface area is the only thing that matters if you only have two blocks in the loop. just get the BIP as it will make less noise.
