I've been intentionally ignoring this thread for awhile if some haven't noticed. Simply put, I was getting sick of fans and figured going cold-turkey was the best way to overcome
Round 2 will be going up soonish...I'm at home for winter break and don't have much to do, didn't bring any movies or music home with me either, just my giant .xlsx file
Few more graphs this time as well I think.
Also planning for Round 3. Though formal testing probably won't begin until April. Major testbed update is planned. Round 3 MAY also see the return of the CPU-cooling tests. The new Scythes are definitely going to be tested....though I do laugh at the Slipstreams' ratings.
And what do you have to say about the Noiseblocker i talked about in the other post...? Good, bad, above the real deal!?

Haven't tested it. It's sister fans, Akasa Amber and Coolink SWiF-1202, are very bad (among the worst in each test, actually). That does not guarantee the Noiseblocker will be bad though...

But do you think the specs might be wrong? Because they are very good.
And in other forums they talk about them, and say it's one of the best fans in CFM/db. SX1 - 17db 38cfm
