the fan is suprisingly not noisy...too bad i broke it...kinda like that fan

yerp. I can vouch to that. The fan is not noisy even at 2000 rpm. My ceiling fan is more noisy

there are TT 12cm fan that look alike with the B.Typhoon fan...
maybe in Bulk have it...

yup...my casing coolermaster 12cm fan is more noisy then it....

thx sempronic...replaced the fan already

ttbx 2k rpm(full) and 600rpm(idle) still same if the case is close.

no noise @ all

2k push my cpu temp ~ 17 @ morning

tt way of measuring db is very weird...they measure db from 10m iirc, the cfm 10cm...

10m? lol...with that distance i wonder why they even bother to measure...but again i wonder why the btvx fan is silent...dont flame me but after testing 2 different TT fans..my impression is not too bad....but then again i only tested 2 of their fans

the bt fans are very good.. its the fans that they sell are crap...

meaning they dont sell the btvx type fan seperately isit..coz searched TT site but cant find

The thermaltake smartfan is the same thing, no?
It's just that it doesn't come with a fan controller that sits on top of the fan instead of putting the fan controller on the pci slot

ya... BT VX used the smart fan 120mm if i not mistaken. just not sure whether can u change it or not. if can change the fan, wont Silverstone fm121 perform better as the fan?

not sure ....i see alot of fans but no specs similar

i actually using the fm121 w the btvx...running the fan at high speed the temp increase by 1-2c lol, ...not sure why

i think its different coz the blades on the btvx has more....

hmmmm...... i getting a FM121 for my Scythe Andy in these few days. no point buying if it will raise the temp..

irangan, im not sure whether its the fan or not, could be a combination of any factors...my suspicions are that due to running it high...it create turbulence as its not fast enuf to pass the hs fins...anyway just my 2 sen...but the fan is def abv average if u ask me...when running high theres very negligible vibration n the sound is not the irritating type, altho of coz loud...not like some fans...when run high has very annoying pitch

sempronic, i think you have to close this topic as this is going nowhere as you've already got the answer as NT-06 doesn't really perform well compared to BTVX...

yeah...going to close it.....

so everyone...agree to close this topic?

or someone gotta something to discuss??

heheeheh......

If someone were to discuss something in this topic, it should only discuss about the comparison on both heatsink you're talking about on you're topic.

If it's not, then this topic will just be a discussion thread for something that is not related to the topic...

You've already got an answer for you're question, and you've already got you'reself the heatsink you're looking for, so i don't see any other reason that this topic should be left open...

Just close it

well actually, there is no point discussing which one is better in here cause lots & lots of review out there have been done only without direct comparison with these two heatsink

u just have to be smart enough to compare it with the given heatsink in the reviews in this case i found a review done by PCModdingMy:

by comparing NT-06 with SI-120 = SI-120 beats NT-06
TTBT comes close to Ultra-120 (or beats Ultra-120), which SI-120 is no where near Ultra-120
so are u too dumb to think which is better than the other

if wanna discuss about this heatsink shouldn't be which one is better, but can discuss bout clearance issue or somethin else than their performance
