I believe most of us still be stunned with the leds . If the price is affordable , must be selling like hot cake .

You rather believe specs given by an online store as compared to the manufacturer's own website?

guys i dunno wheter its right to ask this here, just wanna know between s-flex, gentle typhoon and f12. which is best for radiator for pull setup only. doesnt matter about the price.

guys is xtraflo good for hyper 212 + ?

guys. any1 try this fan before? how was the performance?

aerocool shark fan evil black edition 12cm

I've used all 3 types and the S-Flex is the noisiest of all. If you compare Typhoon AP-15 (RM60+) with F12 (RM30), the temps are almost the same, maybe 1C difference. For people that does not believe, please buy them and try it out yourself

did u try them with pull only config for radiator..? but what if i use fan controller and the s-flex. can it be better..?

First of all, why push/pull on the radiator? The question we need to ask ourselves is whether it's worth the time and money for a 2c drop plus the extra noise level from a push/pull configuration. Personally I won't do it because it's not worth it. A fan controller will help but if you're running the fan at a lower speed, what difference it is from getting a fan with lower rpm and noise level?

so did u try push or pull...? using fan controller can give me room for noise and performance.. i can switch them whenever i needed

If costing is not an issue, why not?
Just go ahead

Push/pull is a very old story and it's not worth the extra cost and noise level for me so I don't do it. If you think it makes a lot of difference to your temps then please go ahead don't be disappointed though. Sometimes it's very hard for me to explain from the fundamentals and why certain ideas are not really feasible. All these fans, volt mods, push or suck, whatever you can think of, I've done it before personally ages ago. The point is, not all of them give favorable results.

kinda agree, 1-2c max difference. I also been go through all this. waste lot of time assemble this and that etc. end up 2c difference etc.

Does the push pull theory which doesnt make much dif on temp occur on cpu cooler also ?

Thanks boss for clarifying You're an old timer so I'm sure you have also tried all these weird suggestions and found out it's not feasible


Actually it depends on the architecture of the cooler. Some of it would make a difference if you add in another fan or two but some not. Buying expensive fans also does not mean it will make your temps drop substantially. What we need to know is the actual fan as a product, what type of bearing it uses, what's the cfm airflow rate and static pressure, etc. If you have product A and product B with almost the same specifications, it doesn't make sense that the more expensive product will perform better just because of it's brand name, color or price.

lol.. why so farr from my question..? i just want to know if there is anybody have any experience with those three fans on radiator with pull config only. doesnt matter what u think about pull or push/pull or bearing. can just anyone explain to me in plain english..i just want to know performance of this fans in pull config only. which is best..? doesnt matter how many Celsius laa. price doesnt really matter

i expected to get an answer with just 1 question but then i have to repeat the same question again and again.. hahahah.. no hard feelings..

Actually I don't think the problem is with the rest of the people but yourself It has been clearly stated above that the difference is minimal and whether you've have Ayam Brand fan or Ferrari fan. Since you need plain English and unable to understand statements, here's a point form format:

1. Experience in push/pull config = YES
2. Performance of the fans in this config = MINIMAL, approximate 1-3C

If Celcius doesn't matter then what's the point of your question? If cost doesn't matter then go ahead and buy then do it, why ask? Everyone can afford fans these days, they are too cheap and if you're smart enough, you would've googled as there are plenty of articles around. Lastly, no hard feelings

adoi.. y want to be so uptight..? u obviously want to show u so pandai.. yes i am the one got problem.. i got problem in choosing fans so i come here asking for help. if u think u dont want to help then dont. if u think u want to help then please help. but dont flame me for being a noob.

when i said 'celcius doesnt matter' means doesnt matter how many celcius the different. that also so hard to understand.
and when i said 'price is also doesnt matter' doesnt mean i want to by all types of fans and do benchmark. i just want to buy the best fans available and i dont mind if its expensive..

ya laa i agree u are so senior and have experienced everything in your life about pc. i am sorry if my noobest question got u so offended.

Don't be so touchy If you can ask others not to have hard feelings then you shouldn't feel the same as well. I don't have to show what I know and it's up to people whether they want to believe it or not. You have to remember I don't lose anything, what I can offer is my experience and advice. The money is yours so buy what you like.

Secondly, I did not flame nor regard you as a noob. I think you're just being over sensitive. How old are you? LOL

its not that i am being over sensitive, its just that sarcasm doesnt always work with everyone... yes u are a super senior in this forum and i bet none wud ever say anything if u look down to anyone. but i never have any intention to make u offended or anything like it i just want some help and opinion about which fan is better. and i also stated the detail i wish to know and instead u gave me that 'u have tried everything and if i dont believe just buy and try urself' statement, everytime..? then no point me having to ask for help here. what are u trying to say actually.? are u trying to convince me to buy your fans instead..? yes i know u are selling good fans with very reasonable price and i have to agree with that. but its still my choice to buy whatever fans i want, all i am asking is for some information only. well i guess there is no point me dragging this further coz it seems to me that i cud not find the answer here. thanks for all your help.

ps: sorry to mod didnt mean to drag this matter like this. initially i was expecting an answer with just 1 post but it seems that i have to repeat and keep on repeating the same question becoz people rather flame me than just reading the whole question and understand what i was asking for.

Look at your reply, it's seriously childish If you are not sensitive or childish, tell me which sentence did I imply you're a noob or trying to flame you? Show me. I think moderators should take action on you instead of going after people that are able to contribute and share experience extensively.
