Gentle Typhoon's AP-15 (1850 RPM)

[Metroid]

ufff, after 2 days i've got refund from computer brilliance (qoolnquiet), without any explanation of coz
now i am hapy i managed to not to loose my 150GBP in this crappy virtual shop

now it's clear that ap-15 won't be available worldwide for a month or even more

I got my refund last night, took 4 days to come through and no comms or explaination.... Wasted my build time I might try the 1450's instead (from elsewhere) for some COOL & QUIET cooling...

I bought from them before but that was years ago and as far as I remember all worked out okay. Now I wonder if they really have the product. The 1450RPM version can be found in many places but I'm also holding off for the 1850RPM version. Usually fans are optimized for the 12v operation, question is if the 1450RPM works as advertised but then again I'm surprised by the chart below. The AP-15 has an advantage of 12 CFM over the AP-14. Look at the static pressure

Can anyone recommend an excellent alternative to the GT's, surely there's other makes/models which come close?
I will of course buy some AP-14/15's when they're available, but in the meantime I just want some acceptable rad. fans.

I do not think there is something worth other than those 2 for a quite operation unless you want some amazing delta fans. Delta fans are worth every penny.

Just noticed this one, hehe, nice try!

Actually that's an idea though, just for a "chuckle"....
Maybe I should get some massively high CFM/noise fans to run in the interim!?

I'll take suggestions!
Anyway, def. bed time, thanks all.

On a more serious note (assuming I haven't scared everyone away yet )...
Do you think this fan will be sufficient on my rad, until such time that I can obtain 2x AP-15's?

Apologies if I'm sounding like a broken record, just really pressed for time of late

Problem is my build will probably be complete quite a few weeks before the fans arrive.
Should I just buy some "el crapos" for those 1-6 weeks, or a close rival to the AP-15?
My instinct is that it makes more sense to do the former....

You know that's a very good point, I hadn't considered that! *forehead slap*
And it shouldn't be an issue as I'm only running a core i3-530 (may upgrade later; depends), which for the mast part I intend to run at stock or UC.
Time to get some sleep, I think lack of sleep is impairing my brain, thanks again!

Well after all that my H20-220 Edge kit arrived today & you know what...
The rad. already has fans mounted!!!! *face-palm* LOL

I don't know how good they are....
But I'm sure they'll be fine until the AP-15's become more readily available.

Thanks again everyone for your help!

I understand Spanish, and I must say I like that review. The reviewer sounds pretty honest and crystal clear about the performance of the Gentle Typhoon.

can't find the ap-15's anywhere right now, seems like it's been weeks since they were in stock, I needed radiator fans so I went for the ap-14's
Skinnee's estimated delta T between 1400 and 1800 rpm for my radiator is less than a degree, I think I'll be okay

I bought four from Linke Computer. I really hope I don't get scammed.

I want to buy two Noiseblocker MF12-P after reading the russian review. I shouldn't be spending money on this, but I really want to start testing fans, and find out by myself really what's good or not to me. In fact, I'm going to buy them, and also two Nexus Real Silent. I'm going to try them all as case and also as heatsink fans.

I'm going to end up money empty if the PowerColor PCS+ 6970 doesn't get released soon...
