yes, it is possible for fan manufactures to fudge specification numbers they list. In fact, I would say 90% of all fans out there have fudged specs.Pendu wrote:Look at the sats for this fan is that possible?

It is 14dba measured in the adjecent room. My old papst 120mm ran at 1600rpm max, at which speed the noise was unacceptable. This silenx fan at 1800 RPM no matter how good, (and it apparantly is not) would make more sound than unacceptable, which is more likely to be 34dba than 14.

Well, you have to back it up with more than that, rpms alone doesn't decide the noise. I guess if they have a bad rep, sceptisism is justified, but that argument alone is hardly enough too show that it's clearly wrong IMHO.niels007 wrote:It is 14dba measured in the adjecent room.

The thing is though, even with the best motor and bearings, there is just no way that a 1800rpm fan can be considered 'acceptable' to 95% of this forum. No matter what the actual sound level is.
Fans are fans, its not rocket science. If a papst (pretty decent fan) is unbearable at 1600 rpm, there is no way that any fan at 1800rpm will be near silent. At best it would probably be as loud as the papst, with good motor and bearings making up for the 200rpm.
IMO, once you hear a clear 'wind woosh', motors and bearings become less important. With 120mm fans, I get annoyed by the 'wind' far below 1000rpm.

Silenx fans are not that bad -
but they are just other brands rebadged.
Silenx is not a favourite on these forums because they have a history of deceit and their product specs are dubious at best.
if you search the forums with the search engine you will find out about their CEO's misbehavior . He used to be registered on this forum (multiple times !)
People here do not like to be conned !
That said they are far from the worst fan - just a dodgy company
