actually the vizo fans are not bad, 1) they are extremly controllable,(the whole range 80,92,120) 2) they are quite cheap for their performance, 3) if u set it up the right way these fans can push lots of air with minimal noise. heck i modded a 80mm vizo uv onto my stock hsf, put it to 1300rpm, the gc artic silencer is louder ..... n it still keep my temps alomost the same,~2+ .

Agree with lolhalol... but it still kind of noisy if run at default speed ... although the color matching would be nice for UV themed case....

no way to compare....

i have the 190cfm ffb delta fan. the whole fan is so heavy but due to the raw juice that's in the fan, its capable of propelling itself and run around the room if its not fasten. personally i think the fan is not practical cause of the terrible noise. it's mention that its not compatible with sidewinder controller. is there anyway to mount a VR to it?

as far as i know there are NO commercial VRs/ fan controllers that are able to support the Delta FFB. u want one ur gonna have to DIY urself one that supports high amps.
what i did with mine was a 5v/12v switch. that worked rather well.. but then not all FFBs can run at 5v. out of the 4 units i have only 1 can run at 5v. the rest would just die. but they were all able to run at 7v though.

QUOTE(Vervain @ Nov 22 2006, 08:56 PM) just tried with my ffb, tough luck. it won't move an inch. better settle with the old nidec beta V not even at 7v? if yes was ur pc running when u tried it at 7v? if 5v cannot then i understand la..coz like i said..not all FFBs can run at 5v. but 7v should be ok wat.. only thing is ur PSU needs to have a load like the HDD or GC etc to be able to run at 7v. coz when i tested at 7v on my test PSU it dint move coz theres no load on the PSU but on my PSU which is in the PC it was ok.
