OK, this'll be my
third attempt at replying. The Mozilla spell checker, when installed into firefox sometimes freezes firefox. I've done the uninstall everything / install different spell checker (actually same one but properly packaged for firefox) dance and am trying yet again (sigh...)
I do not recommend this impeller for anyone who's not primarily interested in silence. It has a tendency to shake when run at 12V, even when carefully installed. I'm using this one at 6V, and get about the same cooling (CPU diode but system otherwise exactly the same) as a single L1A at 7V (or two of 'em stacked at 5V) - and about the same noise level as the two L1As at 5V - so somewhere between 18 and 22dB.
It's an improvement over the two fans stacked as it's much smaller - and I get no change in my cooling when I replace the filter cover on the PC bezel (it's a FS020, radiator in lower front, pull only).
From looking at the Panaflo L1A fan curve for 7V, I'm probably getting 25CFM or
less through the radiator.
I've been looking for one of the 5" or 6" cage fans from JapanServo (they seem to be the only cage fan manufacturers focused on making this kind of fan quieter).
I found what appear to be 4" 24V JS fans and ordered a couple to play with.
I am hoping that these might move the same amount of air at 12V as the one I'm using now does at 6V - but with a bit less noise.
