I was looking at the Arctic F12 Fan, the basic 120mm 3-pin version, as you can get a 5-pack for ~$20 and it seems like a decent general purpose case fan.
On their website it shows the airflow for this fan as 53CFM (90.1 m3/h), however, many places that have this fan for sale show the fan as having 74CFM (126 m3/h). In all cases they are listed as having the same 3-pin connector, the same 1,350 RPM, the same 0.3 Sone Noise Level, and the same 0.25A power draw.
Does anyone by chance know the story behind why the CFM is listed differently on different sites? Would it make sense to buy from a site that is clearly showing as still having the 74CFM "version" in-stock, or is the 53CFM "version" newer and superior somehow?
