the evolution continues....

GONE are the (3) 120mm Nidec's (LOUD)
IN are the (4) Torin blowers. (@24V)

GONE is the Little Giant (Mag4ish)
IN is the Laing D4. (@12V...16V PSU didnt come yet.)

GONE are the 2 diff rads.
IN are the 2 (WA2's) rads.

temps have only gone down 1C...:( but the TIM is only 20 min old.

all in all im less than impressed, i was hoping for better performance. But on the noise side...i can hear my SmartFan2 on my "air rig" again so for that alone, i am VERY HAPPY!!

EDIT: i may look like the blowers are taped in, but there are 4 screws per blower under the tape :p (yes, thats ALL 5/8" tube and barbs)

The small diameter of the blower is going to prevent you from getting some serious performance here.

Can you get the specs for them? Compare to a 4" or 5 1/4" Comair Rotron Diplomat blower. ;)

The automotive blower at 5 volts is going to start making a lot of sense, soon...

here are the stats:

im running them @ 24V


edit: i need to take a break from this and get some stuff done in RL (RealLife ;) )but once i get a chance, ill be trying the rads in series...swaping in the 16v PSU will be too easy. i wont even have to drain the thing.

Hum... these fans look quite interesting! Any idea on noise yet?

their all the rage over @ oc.com, here is one of MANY threads on them:

now i have 5 of them; these 4 and 1 mounted on a SP-97 in my "air-rig".

May want to consider putting the radiators in flow-series there Joe_Camel, if you haven't already tried it. Of course, the success of such is unique to the flow/performance characteristics of your radiators, but for me I definitely saw a (small) benefit from going to my radiators in flow-series from flow-parallel.
