something to share to those who need to decide on which fan to use for your rad
http://www.overclock.net/water-cooling/859...ing-thread.html

me myself jz realize that CM R4 is better than AC F12 in term of cooling, not noise..

yup, the right fans are important. as we waterhead uses the most fans, initial purchases for them need to be made base on well inform data to suit ur theme/budget/estimated performance etc. the perfomance gain between fans are ridiulous, so get it right the 1st time, and ill inform 1st purchases may result in u purchasing a new set of fans for your 2 x quad rad push+pull monster config sweat.gif

one thing i like bout the f12 is thats it dirt cheap....Rm20 bucks sweat.gif even cheper than the good ol'yate imho.

hehe san aces and panaflo ftw...the spes and reviews on these 38's are great ! with an added fc of course  tongue.gif

where got f12 for rm20?? shocking.gif

Duno if u guys notice or not, the 38mm F12 Pro is the one comparable to Gentle Typhoon, not the 25mm F12. The thickness and none flat design of F12 Pro turns me down & that's why I chose GTs.

i see.. thanks for correcting us biggrin.gif F12 Pro looks nice for me. but does F12 Pro got the same problem with most fan with center dead spot?

not to bias on the f12... but in my opinion, one of the cheapest FDB bearing fan. CM R4 are sleeve bearing and most rm30 fan. So its the king of rm30 in my opinion. Even though yate are better, but still they are sleeve bearings.

u can find its cheaper from zhen wei if i'm not mistaken

QUOTE(subrok007 @ Nov 16 2010, 11:14 PM)
Wow, awesome CM R4 can pwn F12.. really out of expectation... sweat.gif

if convert that cfm to temperature.. dont know how much is the different.. 1-4c maybe??

QUOTE(rzs77 @ Nov 17 2010, 08:10 PM)
Just to share my experience, am still using the cm r4 fans, 4 of them to be exact for my 480 tfc xchanger rad in push mode and i'm damn well satisfied with it.
In no way are they bad at all.
Yeah, the 19dba is a bit far fetched for a 2000rpm fan but hey, they do a great if not excellent job cooling my loop at IMHO very decent noise. even my ceiling fan is louder than 4 of those r4 fans (please note that noise is subjective, hence the IMHO)
Temps are great even at high voltages so yeah, if anybody is contemplating on whether they should buy the r4 fans for water cooling, DEFINITELY! They're cheap (~RM25 per piece), silent (not 19dba but SILENT enough in my books) and they come in red, blue and green so it's easier to match with ur theme.

Go go CM R4 thumbup.gif
*
hope they got in white tongue.gif but the led is not too bright, which is good for me. again, for me its not silent enough, hehe... noise is subjective, going to try f12 pro

you wont get that much improvements. I tried yate loons, CM R4, f12 pro... their temperature are almost similar. 1-2c on load.

if you wanna see 4c improvements, go for 38mm Panaflo or San Aces. I tried them before, pushing lot of air through the radiator.

1 thing i swap from CM R4 to f12 is because of the LED died out issue and also leaked oils from the bearing.

I also tried Xigmatek, the temps also identical to CM R4, F12.

So just buy whatever suits your budget. I been trying different fans on radiator since I enter water cooling world at 2005.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Silverstone Fm121 also not bad, but it gets noisy when running full speed. Havent try SS Air Penetrate yet ...

nice experience thumbup.gif b4 this i use 6 R4 fan, air is really like tornado inside my case, but temperature wise? like u said, not so much~
the reason i want to switch to F12 is to see how silent it is compare to R4. but after i'm in game or movies, those R4 fan can heard no more

personally, if the new rad could at least pull of another 5c off my ambient/water temp delta would be great..all eyes on skinee now, hoping he wont goof the review though...i would prefer bundy, but being a german an all, wud just have to take facebook value lah...until someone here can review it for us ...

yam cha sounds great bro...been awhile eh..i've been bz too..tongue.gif

want to ask u guys opinion..

i got a universal gpu wb, do i need to care the 'upgraded' heatsink from various manufacture? since they will be remove after all, that would make me just choose any manufacture i want and probably the cheapest since the 'upgraded' heatsink is what increase the cost.. am i correct?
