pain in the ass finding 10cm fan

this is one of the reason to find coolers with common size of fan (8cm, 9cm & 12cm)

ur cooler warranty expired already? time to change to a new cooler then

nope, that's 12cm fan la

Cooler Master 90cfm @ 19dB 12CM fan,

I am afraid this is too good to be true !!!

I bought 2 units from one of the trader here @RM33 each.

I have tested it from my system and I think it is the same fan (same model) as my Cooler Master Hyper 212 CPU cooler.

The spec of my cooler fan is 2000rpm, 69.69cfm, 19dB.

This fan has a strong wind and quiet too but I don't think it is reaching above 80++cfm. I am comparing this fan with my Delta fan which having 82.67cfm.

The conclusion is quite clear here, Cooler Master has overrated this fan !!!

p/s if you want kickass fan, you still need go for those noisy industries' fan like Delta, NMB and etc ...

haha, RM33 fan with 90cfm & only 19dba?

just like SilenX & Thermaltake fans - Overrated

even Noctua wont able to produce that kinda airflow with only 19dba

So izzit still a good 12cm silent fan?

Yes, it is good and quiet, but just that it is overrated for 90cfm.

If the fan rated as 90cfm @ 19dB - it is big deal. It is like ideal or perfect fan or dream fan for everyone but ... I think it is yet to be invented.

I seriously doubted the 90cfm @ 19dB in the beginning because if it's for real, this fan is even better than the expensive Scythe fans. Anyway, it has been cleared now by the review and it isn't 90cfm in fact

However it still a good looking fan duh..got the stylish look.

Stylish looks with literally no air would give us just as much problems

i using tht CM 90cfm fan, the airflow smaller thn my panaflos rated 90cfm fan but its more cfm thn evercool 2000rpm fan, so basically we can assume tht its more airflow then 7 bladed 2000rpm fan yet its silencer even though its not like rated 19db... so for rm33 + the decent airflow, might be silencer thn vizo uv fan, its quite a good buy... although its overrated...

The real 19db 90cfm fan
SilenX iXtrema Pro fan

same with CM, overrated

seriously, there's no 12cm fan in the world can push 90cfm below 19dba

just had a thought.... perhaps the 19dba only refers to the motor noise and not inclusive of the wind noise?

so , no such thing as 90cfm @ 19dB fan ?? .. hmm .. at first i'm planning to get those CM fan .. better buy Silverstone FM123 ..

i think silverstone fan is a good one...

but silverstone fan i think at least double the price... but up to users choice...

Is it i can find that CM case fan at low yat there ? I didn't see it T-T.
Today morning I just simply read here and check is it got any nice case fan, so i just simply see that CM 90cfm fan, but I can't find in All IT, Thundermatch and SRI..... T-T
