Can you tell me how can the dust and dirt will scratch fan???
im having doubt that the dust and dirt will actually scratch the fan....

i have the same doubt here as well.... btw which CM fan u were referring to that can push same amount of CFM....

as far as i know CM fan push lower cfm ...

Ian where to get in LY, the disti currently got no stock n i think one of the shops there selling for like 80bucks, ovr inflated price i think.

It's when u clean the fan. That's when it gets scratched. When u use a brush to clean off the dust, it will definitely leave scratches on the fan. Plus it will never b perfectly clean especially if the fan is white, it will haf stains on it.




He typo lar I think. What he probably means is when the Silverstone is at minimum 800RPM then same CFM as the CM fan.






Well, 80 bux but it comes with a fan controller wat. So it's quite ok. Ask AhPaul lar. He shud haf it.

yeah precisely uncle ian. thanks for clearing the doubt.

I just back from LYP and thanks to ianho for the info
Sad to say that i could not find any SilverStone FM121 but i did manage to find SilverStone FM122 which ONLY at MyPC.....

did anyone here mentioned abt windstorm by vizo ? that 81.3cfm@5.8krpm one ??

rm55 , produce like 61dB is i didnt see it wrongly , but the wind from the fans , really strong , recommened is u r a deaf

I havent actually tested it yet since travelling from Shah Alam to LYP with public transportation is madness but i manage to snap some photo on the SilverStone FM122 (By the way photo quality a little bad cause i use my O2 mini...)





Seriously i think its worth it to get this product as they came with a very good set of bundle as it come with a speed controller that is aluminium, fan grill and a set of screws for RM55

Here is the difference with FM121 and FM122
(Left is FM121| Right is FM122)

Dimension: 120 x 120 x 25mm | 120 x 120 x 32mm
Material: Both are Plastic(PC)
Color: Both white
Bearing : Both dual ball bearing
Rated Voltage: Both 12 VDC
Start Voltage: 5 VDC | 7 VDC
Rated Current: 0.40A (Max. 0.45A) | 0.65A (Max. 0.65A)
Rated Power: 4.8W (Max. 5.4W) | 7.8W (Max. 7.8W)
Speed: Both 800 ~ 2400rpm
Air Flow: Max. 110.03CFM | 107.13CFM
Static Pressure: Max. 3.26mmH2O | Max. 5.68mmH2O
Noise Level: 17dBA at 800rpm, 39.5dBA at 2400rpm(FM121)
22dBA at 800rpm, 44.1dBA at 2400rpm(FM122)
Life Expectancy: Both 50,000 hours

Hope this info helps

post ur actual performance opinion men.....

wanted to know how well it perform since it's quite expensive....

Where got expensive? rm55 for a good fan plus fan controller is damn super duper califragilistically cheap man. Just normal fan controller oso cost more than that d.

i had mentioned it before

very noisy like u said

but the air blow from it was very strong

good cfm

I have a question, my side panel has like 3 mountings for 80mm fan (those honeycomb ones). The layout is like this

[ ] <--- the 80mm honeycomb fan mounting
[ ][ ] <---'

If I mount 3 cap ayam 80mm casing fan there as compared to leaving it alone (let the air just masuk the lubang), will it make much difference?

i think had some difference since using fan can help in air flow rather than just leave it...am i correct?

waklaka what a expression anyway whats the meaning of califragilistically??
rm55 consider cheap ke? hmm if compare cm led silent with this silverstone, i think it`s cheaper than cm one.

wait a minute. i`m still confuse about airflow. isit good or not for having 3 intake fan with just only 1 exhaust?

Thats what I am trying to find out.. but according to some, they say 80mm fan's cfm no feel... no point going for those..

It is cheap... some fan controllers can reach up to RM70 for just the controller. Actually its odd, fan controllers are just basically variable resistors... if u can put aside the design and all, u can make ur own. Just like what Allngap does..

since u have mentioned it ... we can't find any other place that sell the silverstone fan other than MyPC .....

any more specific shop ?? interested here but want to check out on other shop as well...

from the spreadsheet it shows fm121 is better. lower startup, power usage and higher cfm. but the noise level? i think it's not the actual figure until you measure with sound level meter.

confirmed disti got no stock of fm121, already double check.

I just tested it a while ago and somehow its impressive as the airflow for this fan is good which thanks to the design of the 9 blade and much wider dimension.

About noise level i would say it's noisy once reach above 1300rpm but this is my estimation as i havent place it in my casing. I plan to record a video and place it at Youtube when i got the time

For now i can say this fan is really nice for those who prefer more airflow and from what i know this fan actually produce less vibration even with high rpm

how much is the CM LED silent?

by the way, what's the best fan controller? must have black aluminum faceplate.
