[BboySkid]

Hey i was just cruisin' the net for some cooling tips and came across something that sounded a tad extreme... fan polishing to reduce noise and increase airflow

anyway, if anyone has this much time, and this much desire to eek out every cfm i would like to see if this stuff work

Polishing? What do you mean? Like sanding it down? Turtle wax? Chrome? explain?.........how would having a smother fan help? less air resistance?
It is kinda interesting? If you could post more details that would be great!!!!!!!

its a good idea but i dont know how much of a gain you would get...seems a little over kill to me...

It isn't worth it. You will maybe get .1 to .5 more cfm out of the fan. You would be better off getting a bigger better fan!

An interesting idea, but i have to agree with you, i don't think there'll much to gain from polishing the blades on the fans....could be a time consuming process as well ,for not too much gained.

less air resistance, that makes it worse, the design of a fan is to catch air and propell it, this would reduce CFM

not worth it... how can you fit your fingers in a 60mm fan to sand???

Pay a midget to do it for you!
