120MM Fan roundup part 2 I'm retesting the fans from the previous roundup + adding these: Spire: 1 model Nexus: 2 models GlobalWin: 1 model Coolermaster: 3 models ACRyan: 2 model Scythe: 3 models Acoustifan: 1 Model mCubed: 1 model sound samples recorded with HQ mic at 1cm - fan speed 12/7.5/5v Temperature tests with Thermaltake Big Typhoon in open case. dBA measurements still wondering how to get the most meaningful results there. |
Sounds good. You haven't got my favourite, the Glacialtech :) Yeah, I don't know how you'll manage the dBA measurements. It so subjective and depends if the fan has too much 'wind' noise or bearing noise. |
ended up placing the dBA meter about 5cm away from the fan when mounted on the heatsink, the results obtained seem quite accurate when you take the RPM into account. I was able to monitor the RPM of most fans, but below 700rpm was no longer picked up by the fanheader, so some very slow fans are missing that RPM value |
Looking forward to the review, thanks> |
about 8 hours of temperature tests to go ;) I hope to get the review done and published before the end of the weekend |
Good work fella! |
sneak peak at temp/dBA results for our forum readers:) |
mcubed seems very good |
don't jump to conclusions based on one graph with some numbers;) |
allright sir i'll wait for the other graph's then :D |
The 3rd element RPM would better represent which one has the engineering edge. |
but how accurately is the onboard RPM monitor? anything below <800 RPM is not picked up correctly either. I have recorded the RPM values, and will include them in the roundup somewhere, but in the graph they would quite fit due to different scale. Sometimes less is more:) |
it seems I bought the right fans :) nexus is one of the more silent one's :) |
