Fan Testing Part 2 (Retesting + Noise)

[orangekiwii]

Thanks martin, i guess its the typhoons for me

might try to put some lights down there to make it look a bit better but don't really know




the charts are awesome thanks for taking the time to make them

as for my setup i think i'll put some gentle typhoons on the inside of the radiators and the LED fans on the outside, that way i get the light and a mix between them

only issue is if LED fans are loud


EDIT: btw the sound on the videos, when the fans aren't moving is that just ambient air moving over it or something?

if you remove that noise in your mind thats a good noise right?


I don't know exactly how much work this would be as it would probably be different for each fan, but is it possible to get a graph that shows the relationship of the average distance of the sensor and the noise?

i'm just curious if some of those fans that sound medium - kinda loud... would actually sound silent at like 5 feet when in a metal case or something similar

thanks for your work... this should definitely be stickied as it really clears up a lot of the best fans

one thing that might be good to add to your OP is kind of a recommendation thing

like a different fan for each category

high power - UK3 or the Delta SHE

mid power - sflex

low power - gentle typhoon etc... might help those just looking for a good fan and not those actually looking at their individual situation
