Video of my new 1100cfm case fan

[zakelwe]

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.

PS Papst make the best PC fans in the world, could you have guessed ?

How loud is that beast? I can't hear it since I am at work (if the video had audio)...

[Magnj]

Wow, Next step...Jet Turbine

[syne_24]

jesus that thing is a beast! It'll probably cut your finger right off at that rpm. With all that pressure why dont you make a duct out of it? It would make a great cold air intake.



Edit: When's the last time you had a hearing test?

On the blow side the blades are angled so that you do not get an edge and instead your digit will bounce off the face of the blade as it turns, so the result is a bad bruise rather than an amputation. I just tested it with my wifes finger and it was ok. Ok, I own up I actually used a carrot, my wife was busy on the phone ( again ! )

I will not think about the other side apart from it will probably dice and slice better than those items on the shopping channel that can make a rosette out of a boiled egg.

Make sure and keep your case bolted to the floor or you'll have neighbours talking about a UFO they think they saw.

[Exedy]

That case seems like it was made with you in mind!

[Garrett]

The sound would drive me crazy lol... can you put a potentiometer on it so it runs at half speed?

[TyroPyro]

Oh man that pinwheel made me laugh. Awesome. Xtreme

[eXa]

holy fu***** christ! *turns down the volume*

[andyisc00l]

thats genious way to go

had to turn down my speakers too loud

how much did it cost?

[Shpoon]

Wow....that is WWWAAAAAAYYYY TOOO LOUD for me...can't belive you can live with that thing :p

[KingThot]

What a monster

[SturmoV]

Holy sh*t! That thing took 50 seconds just to reach a complete stop! I don't know if that should be attributed to its really good bearings or an insane RPM or both!

[M.Beier]

Hmm, I bet that thing is good at mixing food :P

[Malk4vi4n]

This is the kind of thing that makes you remember:
This is not "Super Silent" systems or "Price / performance systems"..this is Xtreme Systems! ! !

..and 1.100Cfm?! That's a lot of air!! Think twice before getting it close to your rig or else you can do some damage. Ah, by the way...if you do it PLEASE SHOW US!

*second thoughts* - you can also build come kind of hovercraft out of it!

Break a leg!

[GOATSLAYER]

Imagine if you can mount that on a heatsink.

[NickS]

Mount it on a PA160

[STEvil]

feed it a carrot from the front
