An honest-injun Yate Loon D14SL-12? Really?

[Felger Carbon]

Lots of online sites offer D14SL-12 fans for sale. Then you look at the specs: 1400RPM, 29dBA... which of course are the specs for the D14SM-12. Do a google search and you find PCToys, which does the same stuff but even admits the fan is the "M" among the specs.

But wait! My latest google revealed what may be a real, honest D14SL-12! Does anybody know anything about this? I was becoming convinced the "L" model didn't exist...

Damn.....I didn't believe it either till I enlarged the label. Gotta try this.....Good price also.

oh and Yate Loon lists it on their site

Did you notice that they claim lower noise from the Ball Bearing 120mm fan than they do from the sleeve version? Sure the RPM and CFM are lower but not by the same percentage as the dB.

Code: Select all

MODEL        SIZE    VOLT SPEED AIR FLOW NOISE
             (mm)    (V)  (RPM) (CFM)    (dB)
D12SL-12  120x120x25  12   1350  47.0     28
D12BL-12  120x120x25  12   1200  45.0     24

Yep, a real, honest SL! Mine just walked in the door. This fan shows up in Petra's Oct '07 "New Products", so they haven't been selling it very long.

if its a yateloon at petrastechshop its real... petras tech shop is the only etailer in the us that gets yate loons DIRECTLY from yate loon, no middleman.

Any comments from those who have this 140mm fan versus the yate-loon 120mm SL ? Does it push more air at the same noise level,etc??

Sometimes bigger is not better.
