Mike Arthur van TacoNuts.com schreef onlangs een review van een 8000rpm 60mm Delta fan. Dit monster, genaamd de FFB0612SHE, zorgt voor een airflow van ruim 50CFM. Helaas is het lawaai dat van de fan af komt erg hoog, namelijk 54,5dBA. De lawaaierigste 60mm fans haalden af en toe net de 45dBA. Het verschil van deze 10dBA duidt erop dat de geluidintensiteit met een factor acht is toegenomen. Naast het opschroeven van de rpm is het blokje ook wat hoger geworden, namelijk tot 38mm. Een andere opvallende specificatie van de fan is het energiebruik: bijna 10W. Omdat je moederbord meestal maar 3W per connector geeft zul je een 3 -> 4 pin convertor moeten gebruiken en de fan direct op je voeding aansluiten. Hieronder de conclusie:
The new 38mm Delta pumping out 50.15CFM really rocks the competition. If you are using an average 60mm, moving up to the 50CFM Delta would be a large step to better cooling. With the taller design incorporated with the new stationary fins, the fan is able to pump out high volumes of air that has a lot of pressure behind it to move through the fins of your heat sink.
There are a few problems with the Delta fan. It consumes large amounts of power and it is loud. The large amount of power is a problem because either people will not know that they will ruin their motherboard by connecting the Delta to one of their motherboard fan headers or they will be confused when their computer isn’t starting up because it doesn’t have a fan connected to the CPU fan header. How loud is too loud is more of a personal preference. The Delta could easily be put into one of my gaming boxes, because they are only on while I play computer games and I play with headphones on. I would not be able to put the Delta in a computer I am using to watch movies on. It would be such a loud distraction, not to mention it would be difficult to hear the movie.
For overclocking, you will not find a better 60mm fan than the Delta FFB0612SHE at this current time. This fan really spins up a storm, and should not be taken lightly. If you want to push your system to its limits, but don’t want to try watercooling, the Delta 50CFM fan will bring you farther than any other 60mm fan will.
