Oh God!! Nothing takes a finger as well as a circular saw but I bet these give them a run for their money.

Those Piranha fans are probably sleeve bearings. I have never seen and fdb bearing with a life span of only 50,000 hours.

Could be a miss-print as well.

The HDB Apache & Viper fans are actual HDB bearings. They are all rated at 50k Hours.

Doesnt the mtbf always depend on the index'ed temperature?

Yep, but when the MTBF doesn't have a temp listed, it's best assumed that the temperature is 25*C.

25*C MTBF on a FDB fan should be 300k/hrs.

50k/hrs @ 25*C = Sleeve Bearing

65k/hrs @ 25*C = Rifle Bearing

95k/hrs @ 25*C = Ball Bearing

130k/hrs @ 25*C = 2 Ball Bearing

150k/hrs @ 25*C = Hydro Dynamic Bearing

That's just an average of what most companies rate at.

I guess we'll need you to test them for us then

If they are actual HDB bearings it would be interesting to see if those serrated blades actually work (I believe the Noctua's use a similar technique don't they?)

Noctua, Gentle Typhoons, Delta, Panaflo, & more.

It's a common technique. Just like stator-veins, to increase the airflow and centralize it into a single direction.

Personally, I like Silver Stone's Air Penetrator design. Since it follows the basic design of your typical box fan but it adds the least amount of noise and doesn't really effect the pressure.

Thanks for the testing and work Tator Tot.
I definitively look forward to the results of the rest of the fans. As I am looking for quieter fans but same performance if not better than the Yate Loon 120mm HS fans I have. (Mine are from SVC.)

Out of curiosity, why aren't SilenX fans in many of these roundups? I'd love to see how the large/thick Ixtrema series with the conical centers compared in CFM, static pressure and noise. Is it their cost, or is it something I don't know about them?

Tator Tot's Big "Quiet" 120mm & 140mm Fan Round-Up

This was the only fan that would fit in the space I had in my case between a radiator and a waterblock/pump housing. Given that I had no alternatives, i was truly please with the sound (or absence...

I replaced a loud fan in my Cooler Master Elite 430 with this. The other fan moved about the same amount of air with a far louder, higher RPM (I assume) device. This fan has a cool-looking metal...

Mouse has tracking troubles on multi-coloured pads, If you has small-medium hands it is palm or claw grip mouse. For large handed people only claw, go and buy ec1 if you want to palm.

This is not the first time that I bought these fans, however in an effeort to try and shave some degrees off my load temps, I thought I would give them another go as I was impressed with their...
