Default S-Flex G Vibration

When you suspend the S-Flex G in the air while holding it in your fingers, can you feel a minimal vibration?

I have two S-Flex G's right now and it seems that fan1 has minimal vibration and the fan2 doesn't while when I feel the air with my hand coming out from both fans fan1 seems to have a tad bit higher CFM than fan2.

Fan2 came directly from Scythe as a replacement for fan1 because of some abrasion in fan1.

its very possible for a slight difference in cfm just because no two products are the same. or it could just all be in your head.


but id say it shouldnt make that much of a diffrence

Good to hear you got a replacement from Scythe.
As for the vibration IMHO install it and see if that vibration is obvious or not.

Ok. How about in terms of vibration?

EDIT: hawaiian_geek beet me to it

Yeah Scythe is another company with very good customer service They didn't even require me to send back the original fan because of the shipping fee I will incur, very considerate
