You can still get some more performance with mondo fans on the Ultra 120x and the IFX-14. I did in my review here. Going in so far as to strapping 2 76mm thick fans with a 38mm hi speed delta. pic 1. pic 2. And this was not even a quad core cpu.

Thats awesome, but my temp w/ my 133CFM rpm Scythe fan was the same as w/ my Delta 220CFM. Anyone know y? My Q6600 was only at 2.4GHz, maybe i should overclock it more to make more heat?

[BobyTT]

i think they are using no more of 2 of these here

would guess its the amount of heat the setup is generating... only start to see a real differnce on mine once I start pushing 3.4ghz+ am noticing a real difference @ 3.8/3.9+

Ok thx, thats what i thought, i'll try it at 4.0GHz one day, since i can get it stable now .

Looks like I haven't been keeping up with the forums lately. Anyway, I've been searching for someone who will sell me a Delta FFB14{24|48}UHE since the time when one could search for "FFB1424UHE" on Google and get no forum hits, only about 3 results from a few distributors.

I've contacted, multiple times, every known North American Delta DC fans distributor, as well as Delta's new European distributor Aerco, only to get 2 types of responses : 1) "We can't help you because even though we sell the unit in quantities of 1, we don't stock it, and in order to stock it, you have to a buy a minimum" which in the best case is 16 units, and in the worst, over 100. 2) "We don't stock the unit but we can get you the number you need, without a minimum, if you can tell us what company you work for and the details of your employer's product design for which you require this fan." Also, I've gotten honest replies from distributors explaining how Delta are a bunch of c*cky *ssholes and that they have their hands tied -- apparently Delta doesn't stock the fan themselves, but custom builds it on demand, with a high number of minimum units and a extremely long lead time : 8 weeks . As one distributor said

"They don't care who the buyer is, how much the buyer is willing to spend. They have a c*cky overconfident attitude that they have the product, and if you have the money, they're willing to do business. But they will not be in any hurry to settle an order. Everyone waits the same 6-8 week lead time. There is no rushing it. Prepayment is required most of the time as well. Delta can give out samples at times. I have known other customers of ours who managed to squeeze one out of them. The parts are 'built to order' and they don't have any stock on hand at the plants."

So, in summary, I've almost exhausted all my options, including contacting dozens of Delta's "Valued Partners" and surplus dealers. As a last resort I called up the local Delta rep, who happens to have an office about 5 miles away from where I live :

"Houston Office
8270 Willow Place North, Suite B-150, Houston, TX 77070 U.S.A.
TEL : 1-281-477-9400
FAX: 1-281-477-9438"

I was really elated when the rep apologized for Delta giving me the runaround and offered to give me free samples of the FFB1424UHE. He said to wait 3 weeks at which point he'd call me. Unfortunately, he has yet to call.

Also, the same goes for All American Semiconductors --a Delta Distributor-- which for the FFB1424UHE, redirects you to OnlineComponents.com . I was able to "order", as in their system took my credit card information, 3 fans. After waiting for the backorder lead time to expire, I contacted them as my credit card had not been charged. No reply. So I contacted them again. No reply.

So, that's my story. At least I got my hands on several new FFB1424SHGs -- Delta's highest end 140mmx140mmx50mm fan -- which "only" do 273 CFM :



Sigh,
