Wow, those are cheap!

 

[atheus]

Fantastic price, but I'm a bit puzzled by the lack of a 140mm fan. 14 is the new 12, after all.

 

[Sunderas]

True they don't have a 14 which I think they should.

But specially, we need to know all the figures of these.

I used 8 of the original £3 F12 in my watercooling system. For the price you cannot beat them, even Noctua NF-F12 wasn't much better (I got a 2°C drop for the 2 days I had them before sending them back)

Hopefully people will start to see that you really don't get what you pay for when it comes to fans.

The old f12/f14 have always beenbthe best bang for Buck fans on the market IMO.

If they've improved them even 1% it can only be a good thing.

Everything I have purchased from them has been trash. These look Alright but why bother?

 

[shloader]

Everything I have purchased from them has been fine. I've installed about six Arctic 64 coolers and to this day the fans on all of them are still trouble free. I'm actually due for a total fan change-out in my HTPC since it came with generic fans.

 

[madmatt30]

Same although I'm talking about case fans not coolers which they don't really do any more.
The f12/f14 are great for the money - £4 case fan with good performance that has a 5 year warranty that they will honour.
The PST & Temp controlled sensor models are also great ideas that no other manufacturer has cottoned onto.

I would be more convinced that these are "silent" if there were dB ratings in this article. I've been using Scythe for years, and they are silent - especially the ones that have dB ratings below 20.

 

[alidan]

b gear, 100+cfm, even if it says 36db, the thing is quieter than my gpu is when its in full use or my cpu is when crap decided to make it go 100%

still waiting on a better fan than these because this is nowhere near an unacceptable level of noise.

 

[SamSerious]

The price is nice, but at least in Germany BitFenix' standard non-LED 120mm Spectre fans are just as much (~ 7€) as the Arctic F12.
