Is there some sort of consensus on the performance of these guys. I have one and I love it (On the cpu) but I am wondering if there are any issues with them before i move up and install them in all of my 5 fan brackets. I figured it would be cheaper than buying a rheobus.


If you are unsure what I mean, see product info here:

Extra drive bay faceplate + drill = basically a rheobus.


I need 4 fans (sorry, 5 including the cpu which I have) and these cost 8.99 each. 9x4 is 32. 4 other fans of decent quality are going to be at least 6 bucks, 6x4 is 24+25 for the fan control comes out to about 50. So its actually cheaper for me. Also, the fan control units only ever do 4 fans, which is pretty lame. I don't have room for two of them.

The thing is, are other fast fans going to be powerful enough to overvolt and have decent speeds/cfm as well as being quiet when undervolted? I know the YStechs can handle high speeds fine, and they are nice and quiet at low speeds, but is a quiet panflow going to push decent amounts of air when I want to turn everything up, and is a screaming powerful fan going to quiet itself when I turn things down?


Basically I am looking to see if anyone has ever used a ton of them before, and want to know if they are happy with what they did.

haha. that was a pretty funny read. don't really see the point to do that tho... when u can just go buy a delta screamer to do it with no effort or risk =P.
