I came across Cooler Master coming out with 90cfm fans and 19 dBA. Is this real? Any users comment?

How was the performance, in terms of silence when compared to other cooler master fans? Is it really 19db or the minimum noise? Got typhoon noise happening in your rig? Hehehe
P.S: Are you selling this?

RM35 each
LExus65
i think the db rate is not accurate, may be it's measure from far away, but 90CFM can be achive with 2000 rpm.

Downcast
zhen wei, when stock arrive remember tell hor... planning to get 2 of these..
hypermax
Is it really that good?
19dba for 90cfm at only RM35? Even Scythe fans, which are known for the good dba and performance ratio cost at least RM50 in msia.

That's what i am thinking. Too good to be true! If this thing for real, then all of the current fans in the market will be replaced by this beauty. smile.gif Hopefully some users can inform us, whether this fan does perform and yet being silent as being mentioned.

It's fake.
There's no way a 120MM fan running at 2000RPM able to produce 90CFM while only producing 19dBA of noise.

Unless the tester put the noise detector far far away from the fan, then that's another story, but that would be cheating.

tis fan only moves around 65+CFM, but silencer then those evercool 2000rpms... which move around same cfm.. if compare with my panaflo side by side, u can feel cm fan is weaker... my panaflo fan rated 83cfm...

so in the end i still feel tht tis fan quite worth since its silencer then vizo and evercool fans... and also looks unique...

Yup, as you rightly said, even if it doesn't push 90cfm, it's still a good choice as it has the bling factor with not too bad performance.
However, i have been hearing stories of CM fans using low quality Leds. Leds kaput after 2 months of usage. blink.gif
unpronounciable
OMFG

90CFM 19dB?
WOW

i have vizo windstorm, which is about 110CFM at 55dB!

i really hope somebody will do review on this
but how to measure dB?

yup, not only CM

Thermaltake, SilenX, Aerocool over-rated their fans too

lichyetan already post his testing on the fans: hands.gif

Quite hard to know unless ownself tested. Waiting for my fans from Zhen Wei then only post results. But actually, the bling bling factor was quite attractive along with the 'numbers' which came along. smile.gif

+1 and I do agree that the fans are over-rated. It doesn't make sense to have 90cfm with 19dBA as even the Scythe fans produce more sound and lower cfm's.

If we do that, i guess you will loose a big chunk of your business, hehe tongue.gif

Anyway, can anyone here who owns this fan do a review on it?

There's already a review done in VR-Zone (which doesn't look very positive) so maybe you can search around there smile.gif

Just read the forum being mentioned. Summary:

1)Not as quiet as being mentioned if all fans run at 2000rpm
2)If put a lot of these fans=noisy

Recommendation: Install fan controller smile.gif

You have a point and which is why I say it is "over-rated", not "lying" biggrin.gif

yea i noticed too while i was reading the Hyper212 specs on their website. it also runs around 2k rpm
yinyang81
Agree with xen0 also. It could be the Hyper212 fans. My friend who managed to get this fans recently said it was quiet but cfm definitely NOT 90! Anyway, worth to try!

but still, if 19dba @2k rpm and producing 69 cfm in reality is still good, even if it's not 90cfm...

the papst's fan running nice... but currently using the CM fan on my radiator... trying tis CM fan, the airflow higher then the papst... now finding a DC voltage converter which can step up the voltage to around 17-20v...i think the papst fan shall shine at tht voltage since its 24v fan... u got any idea of getting those DC voltage converter? stepping up the voltage from 12v to around 15-20v...
hypermax
How can the led version pushes so much air than the non-led version? The non-led version only pushes near 70CFM.

Click here for more details.
Bleed_X
70cfm also ok what... cheap fan. u pay peanuts u get monkey la. the issue that they put wrong claim is, maybe because they measure the cfm by putting the 120mm fan spinning in front of a table fan, so the fan's real output + kipas meja = 90cfm.

joke2 abit dun flame me ya~
IcEMoCHa
best cfm to noise ratio is still silverstone fm123 i think... but its quite expensive as i have 3 of them in my system... doh.gif
hypermax
Check the specs here. I don't know where people got the 90cfm. It's clearly written as 69.69cfm. Must be a mis-print on the box.

yeah, just realised that they are different models.
However, i strongly doubt there's any difference between the 2 fans. It's just some marketing gimmick from coolermaster.
