That's the sort of question I'm asking rather than what I perceive you to be answering redface.gif
This means they're somewhere between AP-14 & AP-15's?

I hear you. I haven't faced any issues with Z-Bearing fans in any position, but anything can happen with any fan when it comes to that, with the exception of Double BB's, but they tend to make slight more noise at higher RPMs. At least that's what I've noticed. Only time will tell...

I'm right there with you Bob. I rely on two sites:

Well I don't have testing tools or whatever, but I will do what I can. Still pending a part for my watercooling loop so I can test it on my H100 in the meantime.

Well, they're in push/pull with some shrouds now. Temps went down a bit, and they're still silent. Can't really complain.

My only real beef with them is that they don't seem to work with the h100's fan controller.
In progress.

Well, they at least work well. 1C lower and an inexpensive alternative to the AP-15's. Nice... thumb.gif

My AP-15's don't either.

Don't think this has been posted yet but there's a fan comparison between Yates, Helix and Aerocool Shark on YouTube.

Thanks! Too bad the comparison didn't include a gentle typhoon but a good test anyway!

That cinema 4D looks cool although it was driving me nuts watching him put the fan blades in backwards.

Will I test...No. I've still got a couple of bits sitting here waiting on testing (including other fans) and I just don't have any interest, time, or money to do more right now...sorry. It'll be all I can do just to finish what I have. I figure it is about time the community members get more involved anyhow, it's good for ya..thumb.gif

This is the build I'm working on at the moment..although it has no PC and the only testing will be structural in nature in a month or so..smile.gif

As I've said, on testing vacation doing ^^other things. It is your turn to contribute to the community with your own time testing now..wink.gif
