 |  Eleven 120mm Fans Compared on CPU Coolers and in Case Today we are going to test 11 fan models from such respected manufacturers as GlacialTech, Cooler Master, Noctua, Scythe, SilverStone and Zalman that measure 120 x 25/32/38 mm. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coo...n-roundup.html

| Fans use several different bearings. The Scythe Minebea Silent IC "has already been discontinued", and they say it was quite audible partly due to the ball bearings. The other Scythe fans were using sleeve bearings. Those two Noctua fans both used SSO-Bearings. http://www.xbitlabs.com/misc/picture..._table.png&1=1 |
