Cooling Fans Practice Reviews

The marathon starts: Review with 6 case and radiator fans from be quiet! Black Noise, Corsair, Cooler Master, Noctua and Thermaltake

Volume flow (throughput)

We can now see very clearly on the Slim Radiator that the Thermaltake Toughfan has lost a bit, but is still fully within the bounds of what one could also deduce from the data sheet. The Cooler Master MasterFan MF 120 Halo is the only fan in the test field that doesn’t manage 500 rpm. otherwise it is very interesting to see how the ratio between the test patterns changes and shifts at different speeds. At 500 rpm, the performance of most fans kind of aligns with each other, where at 1000 rpm real class differences were still visible.

Of course, this also applies to the CFM value, as we list both and convert any missing values from other data.

Static pressure

The fans from Corsair and be quiet! bring the least. However, as a case fan you can just about accept it, on a radiator it is rather weak. This is also true for Cooler Master’s fan, which is not even particularly quiet at this performance. The Toughfan suddenly loses a disproportionate amount here.
