2520 Grams of Fannage (5.55 lbs.)

Heh, got my new PA120.3 and some Coolermaster Aluminum Fans as seen here . Specs on these fans are awesome, 56CFM at 23dba. 38mm thick and each fan weighs a whopping 420 grams Clear rubber fan mounts and clear rubber washers should help keep things nice and quiet. This is not going in my current rig, the is going in the 'Beast III' which is progressing slowly but surely.

Only 6 fans? I can't wait to see Beast III.

Looks sharp....and really really heavy

 

[Ad Rock]

Nik you are the WC'ing king. I love seeing what you will come up with next, always seem to out-do yourself. I hope the Beast III pwn's even harder .

 

[Aidenswarrior]

you kinda wasted money on 3 fans. push/pull has been tested and hasnt really made a difference in temps.

 

[Senater_Cache]

I love that rad man. 1.4mm h2o @1200rpm?...what were the denkis again? Of the top of my head I think it was 0.98mm h2o @ (same rpm???) wasnt it?
I could be totally off here, but those CMs look pretty powerful.

[fuzzba11]

[Sneaky]

@ nikshub1_ how many D5s is it this time man? going for 4 or 5 ?

[Sneaky]

who cares, it's sweet (can't use the word cool, hate puns)

But that set-up wouldn't look nearly as rad with only 3 fans on it, if you are going to spend the big money why not just go all the way?

 

[BLcK]

theres an article about push pull in the front page and it shows push/pull helps quite a bit.

where did you get those fans very quiet fans... me likes allot.

 

[CWynn]

It seems that aluminum fans are all the rage right now, what makes them so much better than the plastic ones? Aesthetics? Or is there something else that I'm missing...

 

[{PMS}fishy]

Metal or plastic blades?

 

[nikhsub1]

plastic blades. Alumim housed fans are generally very solid, hence the weight. I didnt get them cause they were aluminum, I got them because of the specs.

did you also consider the aluminium evercool ones that are on dangerdens site? 30 dba and 80CFM 120mmX120mmX25mm thou less head pressure for 12 bucks where those cooler master ones are 25 at ZZF. What were you aiming for spec wise? the weight/cfm/dba/head pressure/size?

 

[autolex84]

I have to say that is a sexy rad.!

Those evercools are a joke, those are NOT correct specs at all. A 25mm thick fan at 80CFM is gonna be close to 40dba. I got these fans for $10.99 and a $10.99 rebate, so buy 6 get one free.

 

[BeerHunter]

Where did you get them? I want two..well maybe 4, push-pull looks .
