I'd happily get the box if you wanna send it to GreeceOriginally Posted by Martinm210
BTW I read part2, and also I received my sunbeam rheobus and tested a couple of fans I had around and that were in your test. These were the Zalman ZM-F3 and the Nanoxia FX12-2000.
My ear testing showed me that the Zalman was comfortable listening up to about 7-8V while the Nanoxia started being noticable at about 5V. Checking your graphs it seems that 60db is the point where I start to get annoyed...
By the way, the Scythe Slipstream super high and the Yate loon RPMs on your test seem a bit too high. The scythe is rated for 1900rpm and your testing shgows it reaches 2150. That's not very much off considering manufacturers declare a 10 difference. But the Yate loon is rated for 2200rpm and in practice it shows as reaching 2600rpm on 12V , that's a 18% difference, is that true?
The gentle typhoons sure look like excellent fans, but they just cost too much. I can't get them locally, and buying from the US they will cost me about 180$ for 8 pieces that I need....that's just too much...
The Zalmans I got locally for just 3 euros per piece, dirt cheap and they are kinda nice, but they are out of stock so I can't get 6 more, and they are sleeve bearing
Is there any suggestion on a cheap ball bearing fan that can reach about 2000rpm?
Lastly, is there any info on Sharkoon power fans? In this list :
http://www.sharkoon.com/html/produkt.../index_en.html
I can get the 120mm power fan (2400rpm) kinda cheap (4.5 euros), and they also got a cheap 140mm with 1500rpm which I can get for 8 euros (in contrast, the more powerfull Koolance 140mm 1700rpm is 15 euros...).
But I can't find any sharkoon tests online for either the 120mm or the 140mm part....any info on them?
