    Thermaltake Thunderblade 120mm Fan

    Anyone used/own one of these ?

    Might buy a few of the Blue LED one's.

    I'm after advice on how loud/quiet they are though as the spec sheet says 21dba at 78cfm !

    EDIT: NVM, found a review saying they were 36dba

    Its all LIES!!!!!!

    they probably do do 78CFM but the clue to how loud they are is in there name.

    theyre like putting hairdryers in your case. even the xclio 16 blade fans are quieter and they run at 38-40 db.

    go with the coolermaster ones on scan. very quit and shove a resonable amount of air

    Thermaltake are notorious for incorrect sound measurements, when they measure the sound outputs they often do it from 3 metres away behind a wall.

    I've got one sitting in a box that I got free. Not had it on yet though, I've been told they're pretty loud. Could be good undervolted.

    You might be better off with the Thermaltake Ant-Fart series.
