120mm Fan Testing on an MCR120 Radiator Round 6

[Martinm210]

Nexus Real Silent D12SL-12

Special thanks to QuietMan for sponsoring this fan..

I've always been curious if these are any different than regular yate loons, so it was interesting to give them a try.

NOISE LEVEL
Pretty much spot on match to my medium speed yate from PTS, and a hair higher than my slow speed yate from PTS. Compared to the mass of fans tested so far, noise level was about average.

NOISE QUALITY
Very good, no apparent motor noises or resonance, good throughout. Noise consists of air movement only which is good.

RANGE
The fan is a bit limited in range, starting at 7V only gave me a range of 774-1200RPM

COST
Anywhere from $13 to $20 which is average to high.

OVERALL
I like the black on white looks, but besides the improved color scheme, reduce 12V rpm, and a box with some rubber case mounting nipples, they perform very much like yate loons with a smaller and lower RPM range. . It's a good fan as are yate loons, but higher in cost.
