Cooler Master Blade Master

Special thanks to twich12 for sponsoring this fan..

This is a higher speed PWM capable fan with sort of a wave style blade with a really good RPM range.
PACKAGE
Comes in a clear plastic box with your typical printed insert. Also comes with rubber/foam type corners that can be peeled and stuck to the corners for some vibration absorption and your standard self tapping case mounting screws.

NOISE LEVEL
A bit worse than the yate medium at low to mid speeds, but the lines cross and it's actually a fair amount better at high speeds. Appears to have high speed strengths.

NOISE QUALITY
Seems to have a fairly pronounce motor tick present that never really works itself out completely. The blades sound good and smooth, but the motor has some ticking which is more noticeable at lower levels. Perhaps this is better using PWM rather than reducing voltage...I'm not sure.

RANGE
It's worthy to note this fan has really good range from about 500 to 2100RPM is what I got tested on the radiator which is really a broad range.

OVERALL
I think the fan's noise/cfm strengths are tuned more for higher speeds where it was fairly good. The noise quality is my only concern as the motor tick may be annoying to some people. Listen to the video and make your own judgement, sound quality is very subjective.
