Why would you want...

this fan?

120x38mm fan that only does 56cfm.

Seems like it is completely pointless as anything due to the super low CFM for a 120mm fan.

EvilT · May 2, 2006

Ok
1) it could be as a replacement for the freezer pro hs
2) its 7 bucks
3) i wouldnt buy it

CGR · May 2, 2006

Its fairly quiet.

Adragontattoo · May 2, 2006

so are the deltas I have at 5v and they move more air.

Shadowknight281 · May 2, 2006

It's advertised as being only 23db, that's why.

EvilT · May 2, 2006

anyway that fan is a pos

bobthemoo · May 2, 2006

its quiet and cheap and what do u mean only 56 cfm???

n0aH · May 2, 2006

its very quiet a very low rpm

Flip-Mode · May 2, 2006

Deltas at 5/7V have a motor whine, this one is dead silent.
AC are good company, is they say its 23db I'm sure its near that level.

Is this your opinion or do you have some data to backup that statement?

um the ones that comes on the freezer pro 64, ive installed them and tested and they are a POS

CGR · May 2, 2006

Well, I have read many positive reports on the fan linked in the first post. Is that the same fan that comes on the Freezer 64?

yeah, that is a good amount of CFM. I doubt that dB rating is correct, but overall seems like a decent, cheap and quiet fan.

muddocktor · May 2, 2006

It sounds like the fan uses a bushing type bearing using a lubrication system similar to Panaflo's "hydrowave" bearings. So it is possible the dB rating might be close. But it isn't moving a whole lot of air either at only 56 cfm. It should work ok as a case fan and maybe work decently on a Scythe Ninja heatsink, but I don't know about a heatsink with denser packed fins.

Big typhoons stock 120mm fan comes @ 54.44 cfm...scythe makes a popular 30cfm 120mm fan...I hear it does ok according to madshrimps.

Celeron_Phreak · May 2, 2006

It's very quiet compared to most of the 120mm fans out there and it moves a decent amount of air. I'm using two 120mm fans of the traditional style from Arctic Cooling which move 53ish CFM at 25 or 26 dba and I'm quite happy with them. Dropped my GPU and CPU temps almost 10°C in loads. That's why I would want that kind of fan.

Yes well as incredible as it may seem not everyone is like me and likes their PC to both resemble and sound like a harrier jet in a hover. So this is a fan for them. It doesn't however make it pointless. If I were to build an HTPC I would probably use something along these lines as well.

No you wouldn't :dodgy: you'd use a delta.

speed bump · May 3, 2006

I like fans like these for exhuast fans and the fact that they don't whine like undervolted deltas.
