Video of my new 1100cfm case fan

As a pure air cooling guy who owns his own shed I have playing around with fans for a long time now as sound level is not an issue. I started off with 80mm Delta fans and although they did a good cfm of 80mm they only ever cooled the cpu and the area around the cpu.

I then went to a Papst 6212nm fan which is a 170mm fan with 200+ cfm off 12v dc. This is a fantastic fan, loud but not high pitched so more acceptable. It has served me well but the one problem was that although it could cool the cpu and motherboard and RAM it could not give good flow to two SLi video cards as well due to the size and large diameter of motor in the middle causing an area of low pressure. I could never angle it well enough for everything.

However I have now found a Papst fan that solves this problem completely ..the W2E250 280mm 1100cfm 230v fan. With it's larger diameter you do not have any problem cooling the whole of the motherboard and ancillaries. In fact it also cools down next doors tv as well.

I'll be using it with a new Conroe rig and a tuniq tower this winter. As ambient gets down to -5C on average in the UK it should put up the best performance for air cooling for Conroe in the world ... er, probably ..

Here's the video. 80mm delta to the left, 170mm Papst 6212nm in the middle and the new Papst to the right. Sorry for the size, could not be bothered compressing it.
