got this from pc fair for RM38 ..damn nice !!!!

61 Cfm for 16 dba only

nice for those people that want cool and quiet

may i ask what type of this cooler for ?

i think it is the fan alone..
insterested to buy one also..
i hate noisy fan..

It is a 12cm case fan from Thermaltake ...can visit the site for detail ...quite nice in the real view but not that much in picture!!

Never thought of getting it actually but the look is damn cool when hold in hand ,,,so cant resist .....got it now inside my case for no purpose ....put there to snap shot image and share with forumer

later on will arrange the fan inside the case

U actually believe TT's fan specs kar?

from your real experience... would this fan noisy??
honestly, i hate noisy...
i perfer full silent computer, wont disturb my mind while working..

if full spin is noticable if u are less then a meter away of it ...

if u place it inside the case should be quiet enough that wont disturb

reminder it is not as quiet as those UV silent fan, just slightly louder than is since it spin at 1600RPM while UV version is 1300RPM

wow......ths fan is nice......

Since u are using bigwater also ...what is the RPM of fan u maintain to cool off the radiator ?

my big water 120mm fan is ok.
<1600rpm is quite
>1600rpm noise is noticable
>1800rpm noisy!!!

so, i maintain it at about 1500rpm.

only run full speed when i am full OC my computer.

thinking to have a fan replace my coolermaster fan in my CM Centurion 5

2nd this..TT spec can trust?

panaflo fans cant even do it..

should check out HardOCP forum, u'll know that many people got cheated by SilenX's rating .....

the noise level always comes in this arrangement :

sleeve bearing < ball bearing < no bearing.

even with that, i only trust reputable fan manufacturers, and not over-rated BS

AFAIK, or as far as i've tested, panaflo is still the best when it comes to minmal noise.
others just cant beat this legacy

i doubt this RM 38 fan really push 61cfm at 18dB..

Okay it run max at 1600 rpm so will causes noise a little when u are close to it ... but inside of case is alright....if use on radiator surely is better then the original fan.....


anyway i place it inside my case now to blow northbridge chipset

How to say measurement wise is different from one manufacturer to another,,,,

thermaltake test is done 1meter away from the fan....while coolermaster is done 10cmaway from the fan,,

i guess u should know that the spec is just spec but the actual performance have to self experience.

anyway it does push a lot of airflow with acceptable noise level 10cm away i mean....not TT spec 1 meter away...

Thermaltake specs have always been a load of crap. 61CFM at 16dBA. Jeez. Anyone with common sense would know immediately that it's not possible.

panaflow the most silent? sheesh. you so called fan gods forgotten about the humble papst.

Surely is the silent among all, problem is no bling bling mah ....so not that cool and some more expensive also...

if it is available in the retail store of lowyat i surely get one or two to replace what im using now ....

61cfm @ 16 db??? ..

if only its true..

even the 120mm panaflo L level is more than 20dB.


papst is near to extinction de
but so far i've tested 2 papst fan.....still panaflo's sleeve bearing beats all at the same rpm
