Looks like a Slipstream concept to me and we all know how they work on rads.

At 2000 RPM they are 23dba confirmed many times by users. Which is quiter than the lowest speed (900 rpm @ 25dba) of my stock Antec fans.

The Scythe fans that I'm getting with the kit are 89 CFM and 32 dba.

Ofcourse I can be wrong but even 23dBa @ 2000rpm is really really really good for a 120x25mm fan. I might be too skeptic though.

It was confirmed on XS in several threads and a few here I saw. I'll see if I can find it.

EDIT: Here We Go

Actually you're right. They are very light and thin (what makes them so quiet). I guess I'll keep the Scythe's and get three of the CM's for the case then (two front, one side).

Well, thanks for all the help guys. I have to be out for the night but keep the comments and suggestions coming (will read them in the morning).

I just read the thread and they look like good performers in open air(casefans) but a rad brings a whole lot of other criterias for a fan, like static pressure for instance. The MCR320 is around 14FPI so that puts a good deal of demands on your fans static press.

Here's a good test by martinm.

Thanks for the info man. Looks like I'm keeping the Scythe's on there. Gonna be shame that it's loud though.

Maybe I'll play around and try the Antec fans too.
