is it really one 12cm fan is better then 2 12cm fan?

i am also one of delta fan lover..my pc have 2 delta fans now..1 120mm and 1 80mm one..the 120mm one i DIY it to a switch that switch between 5v and 12v..normally will put it in 5v..if put it in 12v then the air is damn damn big...the fan will even push itself away...

one question for all sifu...i am thinking of mounting the delta 120mm to my side panel which i will mod it with arcylic...i wanna ask can the arcyclic support the 120mm fan ar if let it runnin in 5v?

which one are u comparing?

1) single 12cm fan to 12cm x 2

2) 12cm VS 8cm X 2

12cm perform definately better than two 8cm ... it push more similar airflow at lower spin ... which also mean lower noise .....

1 12cm fan vs 2 12cm fans is hard to judge.... but having two 12cm fan close together perform not as good as having it separated apart for certain distance...... it cool off larger area.....

Well, how about two 8cm fans running at around 4800 rpm, wouldn't that give a better airflow than a single 12 cm fan? Just wondering if I'm right about this and of course, noise is definitely present at such a speed.

which shop is selling this? can estimate the price?

im sure bombman or allngap can customise for u.

u can also check with moderno or dinster...

i remember one of them was selling it.

of course it win.. and noise level would be unbearable .. question is why would u do so ?

unless u are favoring fan noise ....

Anyone using the silverstone fm121?

What an expensive fan and low availability .... however really interested to experience it before buying it ....

anyone here have tried it ???

Aiyaaa, can mod it ureself mar. So easy just cut the wire n join back. Nonid waste money.






I really like this fan too. Nice 9 blade design. great airflow but y on earth they oni make it in white I really dont understand. That's the worst color ever for a case fan. After 1 week will b full of dust n stained oredi. I so wanted to bu it when I saw it in LYP but it's white......................... If only got UV blue.

Y wait for bulk? It's oredi available in LYP.

I despise painted fans lar. Makes them imbalanced n hard to clean. My place is very dusty n the rig needs to b cleaned every week.

Would u mind telling me which shop of LYP? and how much?

I saw it at All IT n MyPC. Few other shops oso got wat.

If what u say is true then i will be there ASAP~! from Shah Alam
so to confirm on things when was the last time u actually saw the 12cm version (SILVERSTONE FMA 121)

It's been there for few weeks d.

using the fan paired with the ninja. erm. noisiest fan in my pc. at full speed it's around 46db. even my nidec betta V is not as loud as it. this is one of the few 25mm thick fan that can reach beyond 100cfm. well interms of usage its pretty oke la. the bundled fan controller panel is alu silver and you can calibrate the fan speed up to your needs. as for me, the low speed is totally useless. i think at 2400rpm it pushes the same cfm as normal coolermaster fan. erm, motor might get warm a bit if you run the fan 24/7. For me, this is one of the best performance fan, cause as mentioned, it can push 110cfm approximately and other 25mm which can push similar cfm often have large dead spots. as for noise wise, its something you have to bear with it. but for tower hsf which cannot hold fans thicker than 25mm, this is one of the fan you should look into it. The white fan is really trouble some when you're doing maintenance, cause dust might dirt or scratch the fan. i've noticed that the sticker is printed evercool. could there be that sliverstone obtain the fan from evercool?
