Think about it this way: if you have airflow through only part of a radiator, and you miss any critical parts, the CFM may be high, but the cooling just won't be there. However, dedicating airflow to useless parts of the radiator (on a TTBT, not all parts are equal), can alter the situation as well.

Hub sizes are equal...so airflow dispersion is probably the factor here. Also, look at the data points...CFM v dB is 1V increment (count the dots) and dT v dB is at 12V, 9V, 7V, 5V.....only at 10V and 11V did the ebmpapst noticably beat the Sharkoon.
Ok ok hold on *breaths deep* let me take all this in here... lol vapor can we measure the size of your brain by chance? Cus damn, i didnt even know there was that much crap to factor in.
