very true on the undervolting, but they have a heck of alot more static pressure even undervolted than do the 25mm fans most ppl use..

With a fan that can push air through the core at a decent level the thicker the better... as long as the air is moving at a good rate and your ears are happy its all good..

If i used a thin core like a bip i would get considerably less performance due to the decreased surface area compared to the HC. Granted there would be more airflow at a given fan voltage, but it would not overcome the increased area of the HC unless you were considering highly undervolted 25mm thick fans. (This example i was considering that I was using denkis which are high pressure (relatively) and are 38mm...)

If I could find some 120mm fans that are quiet and are 50 to 60cm thick im all for that.. My case im designing can accomdate that... hehe...
