Blogs Titan Fenrir Evo Hands-on

Ok let me see.... the Akasa has a 6.9 -16.05dB(A) rating...

gentle typhoon 1000RPM+ ranges from 16-28dB(A) respectively
Noctua NF-S12B FLX- 18,1 dB(A)
Noctua NF-P12 - 19.8dB(A)
Sharkoon Silent Eagle 1000RPM+ - 8.9-36.1dB(A) respectively

these results were taken from reviews & also specs on the official manufacturers website.


dont forget that the apache is only rated from 600 -1300 RPM so I think it does quite well if you compare it directly with the others.

your argument is invalid.

 

I have GT1450, Sharkoon 1000, Akasa Apache and Nexus Basic 1000 (good Yate Loons).

In order of noise....by my naked ear...no special equipment.
Nexus - quietest
Sharkoon / Akasa 'similar'
GT is noisiest at full throttle but the 'tone' is deep so you don't notice it much.

Of the fans above, I liked the Sharkoon's least. It's good, but the others are better at their respective niches.

For quiet case fan - get Nexus.
For coolers - get Akasa
For audible (but doesn't draw attention to itself tone) - get the GT

 

Hello everyone...anyone has any idea of where I can buy Titan Fenrir Xmas or the Vanilla one in Canada?

 

I wish Titan would get an Australian distributor...

 

Ttian Fenrir Rangers : Soon coming to you in all shades of the rainbow!

 

what the manufacturer rates a fan at (in terms of loudness and cfm) are so far removed from what actually happens. CPC did a great set of reviews of fans, very few if any hit their rated speeds and loudness

 

agreed - but did i not say i pulled results from reviews also? Im just using the manufacturers spec as a basic guideline.

 

I can't argue with statistics. I stand corrected.

I guess I've had a few too many bad experiences with Akasa fans. Especially with crappy bearings making a horrible noise when the fans are mounted upside down.

 

yeah fair point. well, tomorrow ill be building a new pc at work with an akasa apache + meghalems as the cooler, so ill gauge it then.

 

Akasa has gotten a lot lot better over time. I remember being pretty noisey too. but dont forget these aint 80mm fans anymore. & if it is that the bearings & whatever inside is mounted wrong then fair play. cant argue with that. but they do have some quality products such as their award winning Nero & Neros 'S'

 

Seems like Titan have got their product strategy inspiration from the COD series...

 

except with rational pricing...

 

Holy fu*k, my dear you look beautiful.

 

Too much gold.

 

it'd be interesting to see what the new Titan fan will be like when used with radiators. couple of those fans with PWM splitters and let the motherboard keep your WC loop quiet without the need for an external automoatic fancontroller like the MCubed T-Balancer

 

I lol'ed at this


It looks good and they haven't decided to sell the both at the same time, just like Intel did with 920 when 930 came up. Also the colour scheme goes with my copper parts and black case =D but I prefer my Zalman 9900 all-copper

 

i found it funny that one of the best CPU coolers costs less than acti charged for MW2

 

Fan really does look like a GT. Hope that helps somewhat in the noise dept. Is it still PWM?

Shame they missed the chance to make a 2 fan version. I'd like to see how 2 <1000rpm fans do on a i7.

 

Absolutely!

 

any word on testing the megahalems guys?
