Second 120 mm fan: Scythe DFS123812-3000 Ultra Kaze

379

Thoughts:

Loud!! but it doesn't bother me.

Fan is rated for 3000 RPM but I never saw anything over 2830 even when connected directly to the PSU.

It can cut your fingers and you will bleed if you're not careful, I know I did. Recommend using a fan grill if employed outside the case.

Great great cooling but for people anal about noise, you best look somewhere else.

As always check post #2 for pictures.

Comparison chart coming soon!!!

Great work so far! Just remember when you post charts up, PLEASE PLEASE properly label the axis. So many reliable sites even fail to do so and it drives me nuts!

That won't be a problem.

I'm making a couple of different charts.

Three for Push, Pull, and Push/Pull performance.

One for just outright best thermal performance.

One for Noise/Temperature performance.

And a few more I have to think about properly.

Feel free to suggest what I other charts I should put in there.
