Yate Loon 120mm Case Fan - Black D12SL-12 $2.99 plus shipping at Jab-tech

Whats so good about these fans beside the price ... the cfm to noise ration is not that good
 
They are lauded for their noise profile. A favorite of the people over at spcr.

Plus, they manufacture the quite expensive Nexus 120mm fans.

I'd like to see what you consider "good" when it comes to low noise and pretty decent cfm, at this price these fans are a steal. :D

When you have used a 220cfm Delta, nothing is too loud heh. :D

Hah! That's exactly why I don't use anything over 24dBA.
 
use a fanmate or other resistor to reduce the voltage on these fans and they supposedly get very quiet, with a very smooth character. most fans aren't perfectly quiet at 12v, but if you reduce the voltage, they will quiet down. the best fans have a good noise character and don't have to be reduced too much to get the noise down.

As I recall, those on SPCR think the only fan better is the Nexus, and most think with a resistor or by swapping wires around you can get these down to the same level as the nexus fans, which run around 15 or 20 bucks each as I recall.

If my case to 120mm fans, I'd be all over these.
 
Price is now up to $3.99 for 1-2 and $3.49 for 3+....

...still came to $24.36 total shipped for 5 fans which is $4.87 per fan shipped...not bad. I didn't have to pay sales tax.

Oklahoma guy paid sales tax because the vendor is in OK.
 
haha you guys suck - I had 10 of them in my cart earlier and they jumped up to $3.49 as I contemplated the Black ICE GT 240 or 360 rad... I was gonna post it as a hot deal AFTER I ordered mine!! :D

I ended up with the 240.

I had a similar situation earlier today with the Scythe Ninja Plus. As I was contemplating which fan to get, the price went up. Bastards. :(

How's that retail heatsink on your Opty sound?

This is the best 120mm fan you can buy FOR THE MONEY. They make the Nexus silent 120 which is widely regarded as the KING of silence when it comes to fans.

Panaflo's, SilenX (HAHA!), etc. can't touch this fan in terms of silence.

The sound does not bother me one bit

I rahter pay more for a better cfm to noise ratio

ok, so find a better fan for a better price or quit shitting in my thread :)

They used to be in northern New Jersey on the New York border. I believed they moved to be more centrilized and to excape the high NJ taxes.
 
These are badass fans for the price/performance mark.

Ran 2 behind a Sunbeam fanbus, and @ lowest volt they were inaudible from less then 6" away. ( ear to fan distance ) At highest volt I had to be within 10" to even begin to notice a slight fan/air movement sound. And I mean slight. If I wasn't staring at the fan, I can easily blame the sound coming from my wife's Sonata2 3 ft away.

If you want quiet, and need 120's, you need to buy these fans.I don't know about the Nexus, but at this price, it's a great deal. I paid 4.99ea about 2 months ago for these fans from Jab-tech.

They shipped the same day I purchased, and I had them in hand within 2 days. ( helps that I live in Texas, and they are in Oklahoma :p )

English ... I said, ' I rather pay more for a better cfm to noise ration ' Finding something with a better than 1.678 cfm to noise ratio is very easy

#2, I responded to someones question ... its your problem if you can not stand the fact that I think there better deals out there. A better deal to me might not be a good deal to you

Okay. Do it.

When you do, post it on SilentPCReview.com and they'll hail you as a god.

EDIT: the ratings have to be REAL. Not fabricated... *cough* SilenX *cough*
 
Wow, thats a steal on these fans. The YL are the best cfm/noise around, real good for a quiet watercooling setup. Their stats don't appear better than many others because they are actually honest about their ratings, unlike most fan vendors.
And Jab-Tech is an awesome vendor, I have ordered a bunch of stuff from them and they ship out fast :cool: unlike some vendors that sit on your order for a few days....not naming any names :p

guy, The DBA scale is logarithmic, while cfm is a linear scale.Thus they cannot be used in ratio. Any comparsion made by dividing cfm by DBA is meaningless. You must first convert the dba to a linear scale before you make any comparison.

Dont you love it when someone says something which appears to be smart and informed only to have another person quote that person as if they are boy wonder

Empirical testing clearly shows that the ear's response to a sound is proportionate, not to the absolute value of a stimulus, but to the ratio of the actual intensity of the sound to the threshold intensity. Beyond this, Fechner's law states that the relationship is a logarithmic one. The units used to measure this ratio are called bels. . The bel is a very large unit and it is more convenient to divide it into 10 parts - hence the decibel. Thus, decibels are logarithmic, but so is human hearing so if you're concerned about how loud something sounds, it's perfectly valid

"In astronomy, the apparent magnitude measures the brightness of stars logarithmically, since just as the ear responds logarithmically to acoustic power, the eye responds logarithmically to brightness."

However, this fact was apparent to me because the potentiometers in volume controls are exponential, to ensure the volume control "feels linear", which would imply hearing sensitivity is logarithmic

Huh? Let's say that Fan 1 is 26db and puts out 20cfm (all number made up) and has a ration of 1.3. If fan B is 29db and puts out 25cfm then the ratio of 1.16.

Using what you've said in the past posting, fan B is marginally better than fan1. However, that's patently false. Fan B is actually twice as loud as Fan1 and puts out more sound per CFM.
