About Fan
CFM?
CFM stands for Cubic Feet per Minute. which means how much air you breathe fan, high CFM - CFM as well as low noise - Silent .. but not all high CFM means noisy, there are several influential factors.
dBa?
dBA stands for decibels adjusted, a measure to declare the level of noise. the higher the CFM, usually the higher the DBA.
RPM?
RPM - revolutions per minute, RPM scale means that how much the fan can spin a full circle for one minute. the higher the RPM, the greater the noise level.
Static Pressure?
Maybe this is one of the ordinary people forget in choosing fan. how much static pressure fan is blowing and sucking air through objects such as HSF, Rad, etc.. the greater the static pressure, the greater the amount of air that pass through HSF or radiator fins. static pressure depends on the design of the fan and the turbulence created.
Bearings
Sleeve - using both sides are usually lubricated with oil or some kind of grease to reduce friction. type of bearings is less durable because of the frictional be worn or dry lubricant. sleeve bearings are usually not heat resistant, and highly influential positions except vertical mounting. sleeve bearing life span is about + - 40,000 hours - 50 C usually the types of fan sleeve affordable priced, and who have little to keep the rpm durability of the fan.
Ball - bearing that uses a sort of seal that contains the iron ball, such as bearings for bicycle or motorcycle tires. who are generally priced more expensive, and more resilient sleeve is longer than the type. stand in the searing temperatures and quieter than sleeve bearings at high speed. + life span - 63 000 hours - 50 C.
Fluid - certainly more expensive than the above two types of reply. who is more complicated configurations and has a life span longer reply and durable a better and who is also the noise level low. widely known as S-FDB fan who mostly used the scythe. most commonly found on the Thermalright and Scythe fan.
Choosing the right fan
we are here for fan placement for each of its usefulness.
- Fan casing - Heatsink / Heatsink - Silent
Fan Casing:
divided into two parts Intake and Exhaust
Intake
Yate Loon D12SM-12 - fan is highly recommended because of high CFM and a noise level of rational reply
Coolermaster R4 - CFM fan who also has a fairly high and a very low noise level (69.69CFM, low to 19dBa). has its usual variety of LED colors
Scythe Slipstreams - fan that sucks air is very large and the noise level is still rational, for the casing is recommended 1600rpm to 1900rpm is too noisy due to casing
Xigmatek XSF / XLF - with spec 72CFM & 24dBa, quite capable as your intake casing, for enthusiasts LEDs can glance at the XLF are available various colors
Silverstone SST - one of my favorite fan is suitable as an intake fan with 9 blades specification, up to 110CFM and the noise level 39.5dBa. makes it easier with the controller settings that exist in pake purchases.
Exhaust
Xigmatek XLF / XSF - XLF by spec 61CFM and 72CFM XSF and low noise level + - 20 - 24dBa.
Yate Loon D12SM-12 - as mentioned above, but reasonably high CFM dBA
Noctua 12 Series - expensive but high quality fan, silent and sufficient to remove the heat out of your PC, adjustable controller included in the package.
Scythe S-FLEX - one of the more expensive line of fans. with S-FDB technology became his fan is more value. long life span and low vibration and low noise level who
GentleTyphoon Scythe - may rarely be found in Indonesia, there may be interested so Stocker with spec + - 55CFM and 28dBa
Scythe Slipstreams - high rpm fan with a reasonable level of noise is highly recommended be used as an exhaust heat waster out.
ENERMAX Magma - silent but really nice. specifications 69CFM and noise level only 18dBa. fits with the concept of a silent but did not reduce the amount of airflow casing and looks eyecathcing blanketed in red.
Heatsinks
To note, the fan is suitable for the HSF, judging from the amount of static pressurenya. not merely CFM because the fan has a CFM is lower but has a large static pressure which makes the process much better cooling than fans with high CFM but has a lower static pressure.
Small example, Scythe Scythe s-flex and slipstreams, s-flex has a lower cfm but the static pressure is large, compared with slipstreams that has a higher cfm but the static pressure is small. seen from the size, measuring 120x120x38mm fan usually has a static pressure greater than 120x120x25mm.
Single Fan
Sanyo Denki H1011 - static pressure and with a spec that could be considered but only requires 0.5A highly recommended to cool the radiator or heatsink. but it may be hard to find in Indonesia
Sanyo Denki H101 - latest version of the H1011, with the static pressure is greater with a smaller CFM
Panaflo NMB-MAT - a great fan to the heatsink, having a large static pressure, though not for san aces but still makes the fan is one of the recommendations.
Delta - who does not know the name of this fan, is famous for the noise level a very very high CFM with static pressure is enormous, but unfortunately the noise level already at the plant suggested using a fan controller or earbuds
Silverstone FM122 - Silverstone? 9 blades with adjustable controller, it can reach 107CFM fan static pressure and 5.68 mmH2O, nice fan but unfortunately not yet available in Indonesia
Push Pull Setup as we see above, with a size of 120x120x38mm fan to dominate the best recommendations for heatsink. but maybe the noise level of each is different, one push-pull solution is possible with a lower noise level
Scythe S-FLEX F - can still be found in some stores Indonesia, one of the recommended fan that has a large amount of static pressure for size 120x25mm fan, suitable for push-pull configuration
Scythe GentleTyphoon - with unique blades, this fan makes a good combination for push-pull, also has a large static pressure for fan size 120x25mm
Silverstone SST-FM121 - previously discussed, this fan is perfect for push-pull configuration with the amount of static pressure 3.26mm. very highly recommended
Noctua P12 - the fan is also bundled with an adjustable fan controller, very, very silent but has a big cfm. the amount of static pressure + - 1.68 mm, good enough for the fan 120x25mm
Akasa AK-FN057 Apache - fans that I have not found the market Indonesia, but look and size of fan blade design, reminds me with one fan a very good spec with the static pressure 2.64mmH2O. This fan is perfect for push-pull with the concept of silent
Silent Cooling
probably quite a lot of interest in silent cooling, as in the HTPC enthusiasts who prefer to enjoy the entertainment kenyamaan middle ear. For this concept, I recommend the Noctua P12
all the fans that I mentioned above, based on my personal reference might still each have opinions that vary with different conditions
- Ter-Silent Fan nominated for the Noctua NF-S12B
- Best Fan for Radiator TFB1212GHE Delta-F00 (disregard the noise level)
