Are NMB fans any good?

[Armageddon415]

I'm looking to buy a couple NMB fans that are rated at 22dba/25cfm. Thats as good as the panaflos, but is the quality of the fans good?

They are the largest fan manufacturer producing 50 million units annually. Their factory in Shanghi is a mile long and fully automated. Raw stock goes in one end, finished product out the other. Fully contained water is recycled and the air is a clean room enviorment.

They are a Zero tolerance manufacturer for OEM's and have less than 4 rejects per Million.

Anything else you want to know?

they spin and push air. Is that any help.

How do they compare with Panaflos?

Panaflow's with the hydrowave bearing are high quality and used in workstations and servers, generally more expensive the bearings have a MTBF of 120,000 hours. At higher rpms the bearings reduce overall fan noise 2-3 dBA.

They have a nice low noise series, FBL I think is the model prefix and they can be bought through Digi-key

NMB's are I think rated for 70,000 hours - both are quality fans better than the SUNONs and YSTECH and Delta in terms of overall Quality can not go wrong with either
