New Scythe fan line... KAMA FLEX.
Check it out These 92mm are available in two speeds....cheaper than the S-Flex series, I hope. There are other sizes also available. Nice to see some real competition in this 92mm size.
Here's the 80mm version

Neil.....I've given up trying to judge a fan by how it looks, and by the hype. My experiments with the Noctua fan proved to me that you need to hear and try out a particular fan, before you pass judgment.
This 92mm fan looks good to me, but until I hear one, try it out in a case, or read a trustworthy review, I can only guess about it.

I like the globalwin one

I noticed this new fan is available now where I live. According to the Scythe website it's got the same S-FD bearing as the S-FLEX, which gives it a MTBF of 120.000 hours versus 30.000 hours for the Slip Stream.
This makes me doubt between the Slip Stream 800 rpm and Kama FLEX 1000 rpm (the 120 mm one). Where I want to buy it the Slip Stream is € 7 while the Kama FLEX is € 10,71. Does anybody have an idea which would be better?
I also wonder why the Slip Stream hasn't been reviewed by SPCR yet, of course it got covered in the Ninja Copper review and it has been recommended here on the forums, but I'd hope to see a recent fan comparison which would also include the Kama Flex and the Noctua P12 (the last one is a year and a half old) and it's placement in the recommended fans.

If you ever looked for my reviews in the User Reviews forum (hint: look for 80mm fan reviews), you'd know the answer to your first question. I believe the Kama Flex is new, with newly designed bearings, but have no direct inside knowledge.floepie wrote:Have you reviewed the 80mm KAMA FLEX by chance yet? Is this the same 80mm fan that is on the recommended list, which is called the KAMA FLOW?
