No surprises, but conscientious testing and good data reaffirms what we know, and the inclusion of the TY-150 is interesting. Fans tested:

Nexus D12SL-12
Thermalright TY-150 (not TY-170 as it says in some parts of the article)
Noise Blocker M12-S1, S2 & P
Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120 - 12 & 14
Antec TrueQuiet 120 and TrueQuiet Pro 120
​

I'm very surprised he did not include any Noctua fans in this roundup?

I found a comment from the author of the article - there were 16 fans being tested, but it's time consuming and he decided to split the article. Follow up should be published in a few weeks. Maybe there will be a Noctua in the next article?

already knew the TY140 is great, neat to hear about the 170! interesting read - thanks for the link

I think it's really supposed to be the TY-150. One of the dimensions is 170mm, so I guess the SPCR review is referring to that... the article is not too concerned with using fully accurate names as long as it's obvious what is being discussed.

They refer to the GT-AP13 just as GT13 toward the end of the article, for instance. Not a problem, and I wouldn't expect an informal article to use the full name of each product every time...

Just wanted to note that is all... I like SPCR, good test.

haha yeah youre right, i checked the manufacturer page. as long as SPCR gets the other details correct, no biggie

good spot on the TY-170 really being TY-150, I've edited the original post to say the correct model number
