lol, too quick. It is working now. The articles don't post until you have the forum thread ID which means the thread is always live first!

I see they've gone the way Silverstone has gone with the Air Penetrators... S_I_N Is not gonna be happy when he sees this!

I wonder how good the fans are? Would they be better than the Corsair fans on the H100? Would they be quiet? If they are quiet with good CFM I will replace all my 120MM fans with the Vortex fan.

Nice gear. I looked at stats, compared to Noctua and I need help.

Cougar V12-HP http://www.cougar-world.com/products/fans/vortex-pwm.html shows:

Air pressure @ 12V (mm H2O) = 2.2

(Noise = 17.9dB)

Noctua NF-P12 http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=productview&products_id=12&lng=en&set=1 shows:

Static Pressure = 1,68 mm H2O

(Acoustical Noise) = 19,8 dB(A)

Does their air(Cougar stat) & static(Noctua stat) pressure mean the same thing. The result is closer than the other stats by lots? or doesn't cougar show the static?

Thanks

Found a vid on these fans (also good if you are interested in push pull on the H100) and it looks like they do what they say on the box 70 CFM @ 17.3 DB

Skip to 7:21 if you just want to hear what the fans sound like but you get a good look at them from the beginning.

well that's not that unusual the enermax magma 120 mm is 69cfm at 19db and there about £8. I find noctuas fans so over priced.

The noise ratings to air flow is not 100% accurate, so I'm guessing there gunna be pretty loud and move a decent amount of air.

I'm getting three this week or next so i'll let you know but going off the vid I posted above they are quiet and that guy is using six in push and pull.

I missed the video, but watched it now. It looks like it does exactly what it says on the specs. May consider these to replace some fans in my 650d

I was in the market for some new fans, and these appear to be pretty good. I couldn't find any so settled for bitfenix spectre's instead. If i do find some in the future, there's a good chance they'll be in a future build of mine

Ebuyer has them but they are out of stock at the moment but they should have some in soon, only thing is they want £9 for next day delivery for three fans or £8 for one which is a PITA.

I have asked at a couple of other places where I have free delivery if they can get some in, still waiting to hear back though.

The amount some places charge for delivery does seem a bit excessive. I hope cougar products begin to show up on other sites, it annoys me when I have to order one thing from a different site, when I get my other parts off of one site
