Unfortunately it moves less air than all but the BitFenix Spectre 1000RPM. It has dimpled impeller blades and a fairly decent construction. Silverstone RL4Z S1202512LIW-3M 120mm 1200RPM Fan (Globe Fan) The included 3-speed switch might be considered a nice bonus for those without proper fan controllers. If you don't have access too anything else and don't want to buy fans online, I guess these would be okay. These fans are okay and are literally available anywhere. Unfortunately it also moves quite a bit less air than the S-FLEX does at 1600RPM even if it is slightly quieter. It does tick at lower RPM and frame construction is average.Īntec TriCool 120mm Fan 1600RPM Medium SettingĪt 1600RPM, the TriCool still has a fairly rough tone, but it's not really loud either. It also has a fairly high pitched, rough tone to it, but honestly anybody who wants this amount of airflow is going to have to put up with similar levels of noise. Unfortunately since this line of fans is discontinued, I can't give it a recommendation.Īntec TriCool 120mm Fan 2000RPM High SettingĪt 2000RPM, this fan moves more air than any other sample in my assorted box of fans. This fan produces very good noise/CFM by my standards. At this point the woosh of air is overpowering the very slight buzz from the motor. The 1600RPM version of the S-FLEX sounds a bit better to me than the 1200RPM model. Construction quality is average or above average. I hear a slight tick when it initially spun up but it sounds like it only occurs at the lowest possible RPM.

It moves quite a bit of air in an unrestricted environment as well. This fan has a very low frequency hum and seems fairly quiet to me. Scythe Slipstreams are very popular and with good reason. I would not recommend this fan to anyone at any price. The frame construction feels cheap as well. By far the lowest RPM and lowest air flow of all the fans in my possession.
