Odd... the specs per ZippyDudes includes all kinds of stuff except!...

Cubic Feet Per Minute

So judging it is impossible.

Make life easy on yourself...

Panaflo fans!

I have used thermaltake fans and I personally have nothing good to say about them...
they over exagerate there specs alot...
But they will run forever...

Personally I use the CoolerMaster series!!

Good Luck!!

That squggly little, non-standard shorthand line, I saw it and at first disregarded it. Are they saing at 1.800 rpm's it kicks out 38.6 and at 2,800 rpm's it kicks out a whopping 93.7 CFM?

If so, I need to change my brand!

I have that fan and it is fvcking loud at full speed....Even louder than my more powerful 0.74A NMB 120mm fan. There are certainly much better fans around.

If you want a quiet 120mm I recommend the nexus 120mm
If you want something with more airflow still quiet yateloon 120mm
If you want high airflow Panaflo Low still it's not that quiet

So much for good and true! Too good to be true is more like it!

Panaflo fans! I wish it could be simpler, but tell me how?
