The first of these fans was standard mounted with me on a Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B CPU Cooler,
This was from the beginning Vibration-free and had no bearing noise.
The second had to be because I had the temperatures at the CPU with only one fan is too high, I could
reduce the temperature under full load at 4 ° C. A fan blowing, a fan mounted sucking.
The second fan was rattling at the beginning a strong camp, which was, however, disappeared after 1 hour at 100% speed, is probably on the low-friction bearings that this is
may have to grind something.
The Airflow is greater than right "SILENT" fans, so the fan generates above
the 1000 rpm which corresponds to almost 80% of the maximum speed, an audible airflow noise.
However, this heat generation is rarely able to. Games, and also only a few.
At low speeds, the fan can not be heard, until around 900UPM up one perceives him slowly.
Also one needs this, a current, overclocked CPU upper class to the fan ever having to turn up so far.
The fan also Silent fans will like on a CPU cooler set correctly.
As a case fan, there are other products which are designed for this operation,
here you do not need any high RPM but a faint constant air exchange.
This fan is designed for fine pimply CPU cooler, and here I know currently
with this huge scope (200 - 1200 rpm) is no better when it comes to volume and air exchange.
