I realize that with squirrel cage coolers the goal is pressure, not max CFM. But IMO, 11.3CFM isn't going to be sufficient to cool a GPU.Originally Posted by SKYMTL
Check out other Delta fans. 90% of the ones I have seen have an "F" at the end. It's just part of their usual product listing it seems.
If you guys think a 75mm fan will consume 21W when installed onto a GPU, you are sadly mistaken. C'mon, this isn't rocket science but rather pretty straightforward.
You also have to realize that since the fan is within an enclosed, directed environment, it doesn't need high CFMs to move a sufficient amount of air.
Are you seriously arguing that ATI needs a ~10W cooler to cool a 5870 but that Nvidia found a way to get by with ~3W on a hotter GTX480?
