what do you guys think of the the D12SH yate loon high speed fans. they are only 5$ a peice and i have 6 of the silent ones now but i need more fans anyways and i would like the extra cooling alot. i k now noise will be an issue now. im looking for 6 fans for under 50$ that will give best performance. they will be going on a black ice pro 3X120mm rad.

Now, if you can please just add the UltraKaze and you are set
BTW, I liked the sound of the GT, it is easy on the ears and I think it is a nice fan for low CFM.

Those videos should be stickied when they are all done.

the whole thread should be sticked
After hearing all the clips so far i have no doubt that the GT is better than the s-flex in sound/noise. But I think that over 9v the GT is to loud. Actually I don't want a fan to sound more than a GT at 9v. Thats why I think the 1450rpm variant is really good! But there is no point in getting it if it doesn't have a lower sound at the same cfm.
Have you been able to get your hands on some others GT's martin?

Thanks guys,
Ultra Kaze 1000 and 3000 vids added to the OP..
I am still waiting for one of these benchmarks to include Noctua fans.
Is it just me or does the Zalman seem a bit quieter than the Sflex G at 7v and 12v? The db doesn't seem to mirror observation this but there appears to be less motor noise if I'm not mistaken.

If you've got some you'd like to donate for the cause, I'd be happy to run them. At $20 a fan, I just can't afford to buy these on my own. I only paid for a few of the fans I have tested. Most of these were generously given to me by Hondacity here in the forums, and I also received several from feser-one, petra's, and ncix.
Just make sure you're matching up the CFM levels and not the voltage, I thought the Zalman and the S-flex F was pretty close, slightly different tone though. The zalman seems to make a deeper sound, but they were pretty close. It doesn't matter what I think though, that's the real benefit behind the videos I think, everyone will have a slightly different preference and they can make up their own mind using the videos..
FYI,
Uploaded the "KING OF POWER" Delta fan, as well as the Koolance 38 HBK, links in the OP. A couple of high power 38mm fans for you to listen to.
As much as I couldn't stand the sound of the Delta 24/7, it sure does have a neat V8 sound at lower volts... It would definately fit the "Tim the toolman" cravings...lol!

And another video, the Noise Blocker XL-2. I think I actually like the NB better than the S-flex F at around 9 volts, but they are really close up higher.
NB XL-1 = Noise Blocker XL-1

The NB does get my vote for looks, I like the dark blue blades...
And one more, the Panaflo M. Similar to the other 38mm, it tends to have a lower tone overall, but a more pronounced grit motor like noise as well when undervolting.
This gritting motor noise is why I generally like the 25mm fans a little better, but it is a trade off for a higher pitched noise.
Panaflo M = Panaflo FBA12G12M
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqMWeTYLrD4
And my most used fan, the Yate Loon D12SL12 with Curved blades.
I think I'm generaly most interested in a noise level no greater than this on my dual quad rad setup.
So, taking a close CFM to CFM comparison to the S-Flex E, they are really pretty close. I think with the S-flex at 12V and the yate at 10V, they both produce around 16CFM. I think in this, the smaller motor of the yate produces a slightly smoother sound.
Then I compare that with the GT at 9V, and I can't help but like the GT sound best, and it's producing several CFM more at 9V too.
Anyhow, here is the video:

Martin thanks for the all effort you put into testing your a valuable asset to our community.
Mountain Mods ex. Ascension + pedestal - EVGA X58 Classified (E759) - i7 980x@4.5 - 6990+6970 Tri-Fire
I like the sound quality of GT better myself, but the S-Flex F does offer a little more power at the very top.
The San Ace is the 38mm thickness
Thanks!Martin thanks for the all effort you put into testing your a valuable asset to our community.
FYI, I added the last one I recorded yesterday, the Yate Loon D12SL12 LED variety. That puts 15 videos total up, and I'll try to get a few more each evening until I'm done.

I'm getting a GT 1150rpm today and also a Sflex F. And I also have some Yate SL from petras. I'm going to test them out today. But listening to the videos the GT is still king. And it has an easy sound on the ears.
It seems that fans have some volts they don't like. They can even go down in noise if you give them higher volts.
Do you have some lower speed GT's you going to run later? I'm really interested in them!
I actually like the sound of the Ultra Kaze at full speed. It's not a high pitch and it's not a whine or a jet engine either. It's deeper and sounds good. Guess another fan gets on my good list for rads.
Nice! Post your thoughts on the in person test. I think the videos help alot, but there's no replacement for actually trying out a fan for yourself..
The lower speed GT's are on the top of my list to try, but I probably won't be doing that anytime soon. My plan is to finish up this round of fans this week, and then test a couple more donations that come in here a couple weeks from now. Any spare $$ I've got right now is going towards some rebuilds of my wife's banshee and my dirtbike. So the bikes will be getting priority for a little while, but I'll keep this test setup the way it is for some future tinkering.
FYI, added the koolance fans, they are very good as well. Check out he sound on the bottom end and let me know what you think.

Funny enough the Koolance one's sound like the Delta at lower speeds.
The 12025mbk and 12025hbk are noisy in my opinion :| they're in my loud category, the 12038hbk sounds better than the two of them 25ers.
I have 4 categories
1.Deafening loud(panaflow UH, uk3)
2.Loud(koolance fans)
3.Quiet(Gentle typhoons)
4.No-sound no cfm (never tried those 1600s)
Well based on what has been said I decided to get 2 Scythe S-Flex SFF21F 1600rpm fans for my 120.2 rad - I just hope that at this price (£12 ea.) they are worth 3 times the cost of Yate Loons .........
