1.63 Is low for a fan to be used on a radiator.
I'd look for a pressure over 2.5mm
The Noctua industrial fans are quite good. (the dark brown units)

Not really. Look at corsair SP quiet editions. 1.29mm/H2o and they provide one of the best noise/performance ratios. Normal SPs at 3.1mm/H2o are way too loud at even 80% of their RPM. 1.63 Is fine

damn kids, in my day we ran 20x 50dba Sunon fans in our coolers and we LIKED IT.

You should be able to stand behind a 747 taking off and think, "wow, light breeze here, and man it's quiet!"

Static pressure is static pressure. Same for airflow. And same for dB. It's all a measurable thing. Only thing they can't factor in for dB is the type of noise fans emit. You can have 20dB, but will make such stupid buzzing or whining it'll drive you insane for what's seemingly a very quiet fan.

I'm not sure what your point was in quoting me with that statement? Most fan specs are not worth the paper they are printed on. This has been reinforced year after year in watercooling reviews over and over. I wish Martin never quit reviewing water gear and shut down his hosting as he had the largest repository of data. This will have to do below.

the SickleFlow should've eaten the competition alive, but as it turns out CoolerMaster's specifications were more than just a little optimistic, as it was hands down the worst radiator fan we tested by a wide margin.

With pwm control they are pretty quiet. 2.94 mm/h2o and 19db for the spec sheet. (link is for the 3 pin models)

How interesting last review I read on them they were no where near that bad. I got mine for free so I could care less.

Most of my rad is covered by petras yate loon high speeds

Yea sorry to break that news. I was more trying to show that fan specs are meaningless because they almost always are inaccurate.

It is interesting to see. The results aren't that surprising though I have two in push/pull on my MCR420 and it feels similar in airflow to the pull only yates. They do however produce less noise, but that's mute since I have an ultra kaze 3000RPM in the back.

I have 14+ of these fans in storage. All used with my rads but now all my water cooling gear is packed up. Fantastic fans...so quiet and work so well with rads.

I've been saying this forever! even noctua lies about their specs. they are reliable, but the static pressure and air flow seem to be completely made up numbers. this isn't from reviews, this is from personal experience. the unnamed fans that corsair throws in with their H110 CPU coolers (these guys) do a much better job of cooling my 3x140mm (60mm think) rads at around the same RPM while also being quieter when compared to Noctua fans that are twice the price. by the way, those corsair fans go on sale for $10 every once in a while and are a great value if you are on a budget for 140mm fans.

in the end i dumped all my nactua and corsair fans in favor of Vardars for my 140mm rads. they perform good enough, but more importantly they do not make annoying motor whine when you slow them down via PWM.
