Dem Fans!!

[Randilio1]

After looking for a decent fan to go with the proposed WC loop I looked at Akasa for any fans as I knew that they had their Viper fans as well as their Apache Black in both 12 and 14cm. But it seems that they've a new fan in the lineup: the Piranha!

If the fans are as good as the spec says they are then this fan is the best I've seen that caters to people who want to have silence, performance and aesthetics at a fairly good price. And seeing as these fans are boasting a fairly hefty

 

 

Max static air pressure 3.04 mm-H2O

 

while still offering a silence level that even tops Linus' favorite fans the NF-P12 (if I remember rightly), at 6.4dB (A) these fans are incredibly quiet.

 

 

Sound level 6.4-27.2 dB(A)

 

If these fans do what they say they do with the addition of PWM these will be the only fans to ever touch a radiator in my loop ever again!

Hope to hear all your views on this, maybe Linus will even do an unboxing and review Me thinks this might be a great addition to the H100i video that he did to see how it really stacks up against those green 'n' cream Noctua's!

Those fans will not deliver that kind of pressure at those noise levels (6,4), and there is no quoted noise levels for the noctuas at their lowest speed. They are quite more noisy than the NF-F12s, so it would be interesting to see how they perform at the same noise levels

BTW: welcome to the forum! Did you sign up just to tell us about these fans? :-p

Oh yeah, I got that there was absolutely no way that the 3mm measure will be achieved at 6dB but I'm still looking forward to testing them when they arrive on Friday. If they're not right then I'll send them back... Amazon are really good for returns BTW!!!

Good luck. 

Btw, you need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.

@KaareKanin   Thanks for the warm welcome, and no. I've been signed up for a while. I just didn't feel I had much to say until this post.

 

@WoodenMarker    Thanks for the good luck wishes and thanks for telling me about the quoting thing. I'm so glad that I wont be classed as a forum nub next time I post.

 

@prolemur    I will do if you're interested They do look good. I'm just hoping that they wont be too loud!

I sure am interested! I'd just undervolt them if that's the case. Thanks

Well they're PWM anyway so I'll just turn them down in AISuite
