Gelid Silent 12

Special thanks to charliehorse55 for sponsoring this fan..

It's a PWM fan and seem to exhibit some odd behavior for start up. It did not want to start any earlier than 6V and both 6 and 7V were really low RPM, then suddenly a big hop up at 8V. In the end, I really only was able to produce good results for 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12V.

Those results were fairly similar to a Yate medium with about .5 to 1dBA higher noise level. Noise quality was ok, nothing major bad jumping out at me, but also nothing really special in smoothness.

I do like the looks of the white on black though. It also didn't quite scale as high in performance as the yate medium, so it's really geared for low/mid RPM duties.

Overall did ok, similar to a yate medium with lower top end RPM and PWM ability.
