    CPU Scythe Kaze Flex 120 Black vs Noctua A12x25 & A12x15 on Alpenfoehn Blackridge Air Cooler

    Last Sunday I posted my comparison of the new Scythe Kaze Flex 120 - 1500 RPM Black fan when mounted on a Noctua L12 Ghost Edition as the top fan on a dual fan down draft small form factor build. For this new dual downdraft comparison, I used an Alpenfoehn Blackridge cooler with a Noctua A9x14...

    CPU Scythe Kaze Flex 120 Black vs Noctua A12x25 on Noctua L12 Air Cooler

    Just got the new Kaze Flex 120 Black 1500 RPM - mine spins up to 1646. Got it as a case fan for a new build but decided to compare it to a Noctua A12x25 as the upper fan on a L12 Ghost Edition dual downdraft with an A9x25 fan under the cooler on an Aorus B550 ITX MB with a 4750G APU build with...

    Discussion NR200 custom loop - How vital are top airflow fans vs top static fans?

    Hello, I'm doing a custom loop in my NR200 and i got 4 static pressure RGB fans that i might use. I also have stock 120mm cooler-master fans as well. My question lies in how much difference airflow fans are going to make since the entire loop is on water? I know it's all about exhausting hot...

    Production 92mm Fan adapter for dual 40x20mm fan VRM or motherboard cooling

    I'm not sure if I can post this as I'm not the developer/designer/tester, but I'm in contact with an eBay seller who deals in 3D printed adapters for coolers such as the Cryorig C7. I asked if he could do a mount similar to the one found in this post which would allow for additional two 40x20...

    Need help on choosing CPU cooler/case fans and PSU in a Louqe Ghost S1 build (1st PC build)

    Hi everyone I need some opinions on whether the AMD wraith stealth cooler is enough for the cpu cooling and if I need to add any other fans for better air flow cooling. I am also not sure if I need to up the PSU 450W and above. I am going to be using my build mainly for gaming and...

    Concept Fan silencer module

    I've been thinking about developing a device that would completely silence fans by turning them off when the computer is idle. This would allow the components to be cooled actively when they are under load and passively while idle, and would be useful mostly in larger systems around 7 L in...

    Cooling Where to find 92mm rgb fan?

    ive been looking and searching but no avail besides this giant tower cooler with 3 of them, currently trying to buy one. But I’m wondering why 92mm and 80mm rgb fans aren’t popular? Are they too small? There are like a million 120mm and up even rings to add to non rgb but not many if any 92mm...

    Fans for the S4M?

    Salutations, all! I'm looking to go brickless for my first build, and plan to get a bezel to help with airflow in the case. Well, as much flow as one can get in there, haha! Static air pressure is fine too. But yeah. So, I was wondering about fans. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with a Noctua...

    Phanteks Evolv Shift - Air Cooled?!

    Guys, I know it might sound dumb but here it is. I bought a Rayzen 7 and Phanteks Evolv *Shift* case. So... I am thinking of cooling it with air only, using convection also as it follows: -Stock Wraith Spire RGB cooler. - The top front mounted 140mm Phanteks cooler as *exhaust* - On the...

    Quiet(er) 40mm fans???

    Hey everyone! So I'm on the hunt for some quieter 40mm fans for my PC. The main fans I want to switch out are the ones that come installed on my IcyDock ToughArmor MB998SP-B enclosure. I don't mind having to control them separately from the enclosure and I'm also open to possibly having an...

    Is there any fan that gets a better cooling / dBA ration than this?

    http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/casefans/venturi-series/venturi-hp-14-pwm Looks like the Venturi is among the quietest, and it excells at 'high-restriction airflow scenarios', so should be good in a small case with a heatsink. I'm looking for a fan to pair with a passive cooling...

    Radiator Questions?

    I'm thinking about getting an AIO radiator and wondering if it would be better to have a standard 25mm thick fan or 2 slim fans in push/pull?
