Fan For Front

[spwath]

What fan should I get for the front of my phantom 410, restriced by a carbon filter from an air purifier.

AP 121

AP 122

OR somthing else within that price range (under 20 usd) and avalible at frozencpu

 

MUST BE 120mm

NOT CORSAIR
NOT BITFENIX

 

May WC in futer,

also in futer will upgrade to less restriction

AP 122 is cheaper too, so i think ill get that but say opinons

[Rorgash]

sell organs, buy Noctua

 

thing is, the only other option is Be quiets fans after you cut out bitfenix and corsair

I think you meant Scythe Gentle Typhoons

nope

nope

Why get Noctua when you get the better looking and better performing GT's?

  nope ^^ very high rpm, question is how the perform at lower rpm's, noctua performs amazingly at 600 and even below. and they also have the same airflow at 1200 as the gt's have at 1800, meaning noctua is better  oh and they are more silent since they can run at slower speeds

 

Edit: also Noctua now have black/gray fans

Look at the videos I edited in. Scythe GT's win at everything. Besides, RPM isn't everything. I don't care if you compare a fan that runs at 2RPM but produced 56 dba of noise vs. a 9000RPM fan that produces 40 dba of noise, that 9000RPM fan is STILL better.

noise and RPM means nothing, airflow does, and Noctua gives the same airflow at lower rpm, and even at much lower RPM which = silence, my noctuas dont run over 50% speed at 100% load

 

and to your example, of the 2 rpm fans moves more air then no the 9000rpm fan is worse, as you never run fans at 100% unless you dont care for them to be silent, which is why a 100% speed sound test is a bad way to do a test, set a target temp and see how fast the fan gets to keep it, thats whats important, now GT's are good, but anything that runs at such high rpms i dont trust, also build quality of noctuas are better

 

 

Edit and final line: The fan that does the best airflow and the lowest rpm wins no matter which fan that is.

The GT's moves the same amount of air at a lower noise volume and voltage.

Are you daft?

 

Noise to airflow means everything, the Gentle Typhoons are pushing MORE AIR through the radiator with LESS NOISE

 

I tested them side by side in my own PC, gentle typhoons are quieter and move more air.

 

 

 

RPM doesn't mean anything, the only thing that matters when looking at fan tests/specs is:

 

How much air they move through the radiator: (AKA : FPM)

 

How loud they are

[spwath]

NOw looking at pure specs, the ap 122 has better noise to cfm ratio than gentle typhoon. and is 11 USD cheaper

We aren't talking about CFM, we're talking about the amount of air that reaches the other side of the radiator.

Also, if you're going off manufacturer specs, 90% of those companies lie about specs, or have their own special tests that nobody else uses.

 

 

If they're $11 cheaper, get them. That's a good price for a good fan.

Yeha i have one and it is nice and quiet. It was 9 USD. In my case i have NZXT fans, spectre pros, sp120 qe, and an ap 122. I think ill get another 1 or 2 ap 122 to replace my nzxt stock fans

 

by the way, here is an article comparing alot of fans http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/331629-28-cooling-roundup-2012

Yeah that's what I meant by manufacturers lie about their specs, it shows a chart of "Rated noise level" and "Actual noise level"

Tho silverstone was pretty close. Ill pick up some more AP 122 then.
