I'm hopelessly undecided between these two fans. Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.




Speed 1500 RPM+-10%
Air Flow 82.6 CFM
Air Pressure 1.273 mm-H2O
Noise 26.5dBA




Fan Speed 800-2000 RPM (PWM) ± 10%; w/ silent adapter: 1600/1200 RPM (fixed)
Air Flow 95 CFM ± 10%
Air Pressure 2.72 mmH2O ± 10%
Noise Level 19 dBA (1200 RPM with included silent mode adapter)
28 dBA (1600 RPM with included silent mode adapter)
12-36 dBA (PWM)


The dedign certainly is in favour of the Shark, but the pressure of the CM is much more. Altough they don'T indicate how that changes if I want reasonable noise levels, as the fan is unbearably loud on max rpm. I'm aiming for 19 dB.

I intend to use them as case fans to push / pull air to / from the radiator of the CPU cooler.
 
I had 6 sharks push pull on an external 360 radiator and the are very quiet and I am a stickler about noise outside my case. They do produce a very nice airflow, I was ver pleased with them.
 
The dilemma was solved by the retailer. The price of the Shark increased 50% overnight, and it was already more expensive than the CM to start with. It's funny because now the 12cm shark is 33% more expensive than the 14cm one.

So I ordered 6 JetFlos today before they decide to change the price of that too.
