Fan PQ curve testing - Part 1

[Martinm210]

I'll start collecting each of these in their own post.

Here is the Yate Loon D12SL12 Straight blade version:

Testing Results:


Overall a good fan, a bit more powerful than the NB XL-1 but mainly due to more RPM and they aren't quite as silent as the NB XL-1, still simply a good fan for the money.

And here is probably my most used fan. The Petra curved D12SL12, I also like the medium speeds I'll try next, but these yates with the curved blades are a little better than the straight blade types.





Overall very strong performance and better than the straight blade types.

I bought this one from Petra's a while back. Pay attention to the RPM numbers on the radiator, these are turning quite a bit faster than 1350. Even on the heatercore, it was turning around 1485RPM at 12V... Not a big deal if you're adjusting with a fan controller, but something to note.

Thanks All!

I've updated the OP here
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=221899
with a summary chart of all the fans tested so far. This includes the performance PQ curve comparison as well as an RPM vs Flow on the radiator comparison for a look at the fan blades performance per RPM.

I'll being doing the noise tests in part 2 later on
