Fan Question-100 Points for correct answer!

[train22]

What Fan would you say is the best as an cpu axail intake? Sanyo Denki 92x25 43.8 CFM 3 Pin? Some1 told me this is is the best but its only 43.8 cfm, I've seen other 92mm that cost less and give more cfm? is there somthing I'm missing in this picture?

[funnyperson1]

well youe see, the reason people recommend this fan is because it is so silent.....in 92mm fans you could probably get up to 70-80cfm, however the noise would be like a hurricane, this is the best compromise in performance/noise

Actually, you want the S.D. 92x32mm fan, not the 92x25mm fan. It is the best 92mm fan for good airflow with backpressure. It is the quietest axial fan I have tested for the amount of quality airflow it delivers. They are a little harder to come by, but can be found with a little effort. Whatever axial fan size you wind up going with, always opt for the thicker unit if you have the choice.

I thought quality of the oc was more important than the noise? I mean isn't it most importnat to have moer airflow? Wouldn't a 80FM fan be much better? How many degrees will it help over the quiet 52CFM? I am guessing you guys tested and noticed that over a certain amount of CFM it makes no more diff for a axail becuase the cpu fan is only needs about 40 cfm max so 80 wont make a diff, so we go withthe quiet? is that right?

this is the one you want. It will give you closer to its rated cfm with the backpressure the heatsink is going to give, and it quiet. Sure you can get louder ones, but you will probably get the same airflow.

Guys can you help me find it? I can only find the
"DC Mini Ace 32 92x92x30mm High Output Mid Speed 2900/55 CFM RPM"

Well, there's noise, and there's NOISE. Gotta draw the line somewhere. Other wise I'd hook up my Shop-Vac to my top blow hole and let her rip.

Yes , very nice fan. I use it on my WinWBK. Read this for it's performance on a GlobalWinWBK-----
