note that you also can't really compare cfm ratings between the two SPCR reviews, let alone between the two sites, but my general impression is that the YL fan may need to spin a bit faster than the Antec fan to get the same air-flow. The MADSHRIMPS review recordings and dBA measurements are done differently, but also includes the Nexus fan used in the SPCR review, so that should help figure out those differences. I listed it here, to give a better idea of what the YL 'should' sound like, at various speeds (without the ticking). For the D12SM-12 link, they are revising thier air-flow measurement method, so you can't really correlate those cfm readings to the other ones.ġ750 ~ 1607 rpm (measured rpm is less than rated)ġ096 rpm <- similar rpm to Nexus rpm <- similar rpm to Antec mCubed X12 is also made by YL and while the manufacturer's rating is 1750 rpm, it was measured at 1600 rpm, so it's probably the D12SM-12 fan. Also note that the link for this fan is a separate review from the previous link of the Nexus and Antec fans. Also, unfortunately, the particular fan SPCR tested is obviously damaged and has a ticking sound, so the recording must be taken with a grain of salt. ![]() Note that this is the medium speed YL fan, so you'd have to undervolt it to get down to the Antec low speed range. ~870 rpm assume you're familiar with the sound, but just so you can calibrate your speaker volume, there's a recording at that link.ġ000 ~ 1080 rpm rpm <- similar rpm to Antec fans are made by Yate Loon, but they run a bit lower rpm (quieter, less air-flow)ġ650 ~ 1640 rpm rpm <- similar rpm to YL D12SL 9-12v range Another good price/deal can be found here (same deal on the all-black ones, slghtly different deal on the all-orange ones and the blue-LED ones). ~1350 rpm mentioned, I haven't yet found recordings for this specific fan, so the link above is just to the cheapest price I've found on them. So far, much to my dismay, I haven't been able to find recordings of the low-speed YLs, but here's some attempt at figuring out this situation. You didn't say whether you were trying to make it more quiet than Tri-Cools on low or trying to get more air-flow without turning the Tri-Cools up to medium, but in my case (ahem), I'm looking for something quieter than Tri-Cools on low, without sacrificing air-flow. ![]() I've recently been investigating this same question.
