Some subjective tests of noise and cooling. Lots of info

So it seems that Scythe's fans are actually pretty good: http://forums.rojakpot.com/showthread.php?t=19291

I think the roundup above is concentrating on the quieter fans. The Scythe fans are really really interesting. Anyone planning to bulk order?

depends how much per fan

Chai · 26th Mar 2006, 08:36 AM

Hahaha...these fans are not cheap. About RM50-60 each. I need a few to reduce noise. Not sure if I should get the 'E' or 'F' model...

That's not too bad, considering the price of Nexus/Papst fans

I might be interested.

Chai · 26th Mar 2006, 05:28 PM

I don't mind paying for that actually, but any more, I don't think it's justifiable.

Papercut · 26th Mar 2006, 07:29 PM

Agreed

Chai · 26th Mar 2006, 08:24 PM

So anyone else interested in the bulk order?
