26 120mm Fans Tested and Compared

[Vapor]

Shouldn't the last graph of the Adjusted DB be 1M instead of 12cm?
I see a few graphs like that.

Just a small error.

Or is it supposed to be like that.

Yeah, that's one of the three (or four, I forget) title errors I have from the VM crash and missed when I posted it

vapor i love you man, so it looks like the noctua fans fell right out of the box at the beginning after all, so looks like ill be picking up 4 sharkoon golfball 2000's

Yeah, they seem like very good fans....my only worry is that if you want really quiet (which it can do), the minimum required startup voltage may interfere with 'flawless' operation. I personally don't like the white blades much either....that's just opinion though

hahahah yeah i've got the 190CFM hehehe....crazy airflow


Vapor great effort

i have a fan fetish too....love it

WHERE THE HELL ARE THE PICS OF FANS THOUGH

See the 2nd post with nothing in it? I lost the whole damn thing It'll be there eventually though

I'm just waiting for the second post to get filled in, too. Then the pics and such might be there!

Many thanks for going through all this effort.. when you made that comment a few weeks ago about the voltage dropoff with the FN121, I was thinking of PMing you to ask if there was any sort of log of fan performance you had been keeping.

I'm guessing the 'BT Stock Fan' is the BT VX rpm-adjustable one? The Silverstone 121 actually seems pretty decent for a TTBT..

Please, please do not confused the FM121 and the FN121. The FM121 is white, claims 110CFM (IIRC), and is really just an overrated and underperforming fan. The FM122 (it's 32mm thick brother with larger hub at 50% power usage) is even worse....singly most annoying sounding fan of ALL the fans.

The FM121 does not scale linearly with voltage....hence the data points that are VERY spread out.

The FN121 is black and is rated for ~45CFM and 26.6dB, these are actually very accurate and it's a great performing fan, typically beating the Yate Loon SL.

EDIT: missed the TTBTvx thing....I have two different Thermaltake Big Typhoon fans. One from a standard TTBT and one from a TTBTvx. The VX fan goes much faster and doesn't scale linearly with voltage. The regular TTBT fan is actually a damn good competitor to the Yate.
