I think the Scythe fans are pretty good and I wanted to bulk some but no one seems to be interested

belum cuba belum tahu .who knows u might got ur 1st milllion.

never use it b4

lyn: couple senior members bashes that model to be overrated (allngap is one of em iirc)

other forums: some members bought it & claim the specs are way overrated

can't remember which forum though, this was long time ago

dunno bout SilenX latest model, but seriously...

90cfm with only 19dba just too good to be true for a 12cm fan

company may use the best tech to reduce the fan's motor noise...

but what tech that they can use to reduce the noise yield from the air pushes through the fan?

sound dampening material is one way but it ain't from the fan itself

bulk all scythe products lor

or Noctua fans

Do u think make a sidepanel fan. Yes.the whole sidepanel is a fan. will reduce noise and increase airflow. btw,i know how to talk only,make will be err err . will try and see whether can be mod.

I see. So the best option is to use industrial fans with a fan controller. Cheaper that way also.

the bigger the fan is:

• the lower the noise will be
  
• the higher the air flow (cfm) gonna be
  

eg. compare 12cm & 8cm fans

so a 25cm sidepanel (Lian Li PC-7BYCF) fan will generate, i dunno, 100cfm maybe with 19dba only

but pain in the arse finding a replacement for it

yup, thats what i do

during idle (surfing the internet | watching movies) rpm = 1200~1500

during full load, blast the fan to its highest speed

Yup industrial fan is good and cheap too.
If budget allowed you might like to consider Silverstone FM123 (around RM65-00) that came with PCI fan controller.

It is cool fan - 2600rpm; 106.3cfm; 39.5dB

My Delta fan can only achieve 80++cfm in 38dB.

scythe fans cost a bomb... tht's y not much people wanted to buy as paying rm80+ for a single fan is simply over for me... i prefer case fans around rm10 to rm50.... tht's y never try scythe.. heard tht yate loons are not bad, silent yet push quite amount of air and its quite cheap...

@clawhammer
Because those that interested already ordered all the way from US ...

especially those K.O.C. members ... last time they had recommended me to get it as well ...

hehe, but it's a bit expensive loh ...

I think silverstone fans are over-rated. Manufacturers like CM and silverstone tend to over rate their fans in terms of dBa to performance ratio. After all, they dun make their own fans (mostly OEM). There are many industrial fans which can push more than that of FM123, yet cost <Rm50. Fan controller only costs about RM5-10 if you get from AllnGap. In addition, industrial fans are known to last longer.


According to fan sifu AllnGap, Yate loon fans are silent but performance wise not really up to par. I was interested in getting yate loon until he told me so.

Yate Loon fans are cheap mah ... .

so give and take scenario loh ...

uglyvamp's acryan cheapest lo.. but quality lower than vizo.

Sorry, there's too many to quote so I'll just reply/respond to everyone with regards to the Scythe fans I can bulk them over from US for RM65 each. I'm not sure if that is cheap but I find the price is alright.

usually how much the retail price for scythe?

Go google around at website that sells all these fans and do conversion to RM loh ..

Why these days with information all over internet also still too lazy to key in few words into search engine and couple clicks away from information wanted ..

RM65 sounds great. However, i am more interested in Yate Loon, as it is cheaper.

Cooler Master is even cheaper Well, what we pay is what we get

anyone tried these?






I got myself a pair of these to mount on HD
