Yate Loon 140mm fan starting voltage? "L" version

Felger Carbon · Post by **Felger Carbon** » Thu Mar 01, 2007 3:35 pm

Does anyone know the measured starting voltage of the Yate Loon D14SL-12 and/or D14SM-12?

Is the D14SL-12 available from a US of A outlet?

Yes, if you mean an online retailer. Here at Jab-Tech: http://www.jab-tech.com/Yate-Loon-140mm ... -3594.html

I'm sorry I can not help you with your other question

I got two from Jab-Tech......neither will start reliably at 5v. I'd guess 6v or so to get started..... They will run at 5v however.

Umm... I have my 140mm hard wired to start and run at 5v and it start fine. I can't hear them over the Seasonic's power supply fan.

Thanks for the try, but I'm looking for the SL, not the SM.

Sorry, I did not pay close enough attention to that.

I will continue to look...

I have both the L and M versions.

The L version doesn't start anymore at 5 volts after 1.5 years (it started at 5v everytime when it was new). I always run it at 7v, and it always starts reliably. My version doesn't have tacho. My guess is that it runs at 600rpm at 5v and 750 at 7v.

The M version has tacho and starts at 5v everytime. I can slow it down (something like 700rpm If can remeber right).
I bought it from Silencio a year ago to make an experiment in a XP-90 with a
AMD64 3000+ overclocked to 2740Mhz at 1.58v. I concluded that a Yate Loon
92mm running at 1500rpm cools better the CPU than the 140mm at 1200rpm
because of more air pressure and a smaller dead spot (and it's quieter too).
Of course this would be different in a 120mm or 140mm sized heatsink.

I must say I like 140mm fans, but I use them as case fans.

I'm thinking about moding my P180b and putting two of these in the top.

I'll have to take a closer look at my case later tonight.
