SPCR

Hi Everyone, I'm Bill Owen from Mnpctech. It's been awhile since I've posted. I emailed Mike Chin, but havent heard back, and after looking at the dates of posts on front page, I wondered if hes still around? or Moderator Ralf Hutter? I thought revisit to the forum was in order. In any case, I just started stocking the new Sharkoon Shark Blade Silent PC Fans, and thought Mike may wanna test and review them. I would also be interested in means to confirm if the air pressure rating is legit? I don't think Mike has equipment to test the pressure too?

Hi Bill, sorry for the late reply, been distracted with some major projects around the house recently.

Yes, those fans would be welcome in our next roundup. I'll reply to your email later about the details.

Testing for pressure -- no, we can't do it the way the manufacturers do, that takes $40,000 worth of gear. But our heatsink cooling test at multiple rpm points gives you a practical insight into what a fan can do in real life (as higher performance in that test requires both speed & pressure.)

Understood Mike. and Great to hear from you again!

sharkoon shark blade review samples were shipped and should arrive in few days, Thanks again Mike!


  

 

We'll see how they work, but at first glance it looks like a "graphic" design choice; not a functional one.

what are the extra mounting holes for?

I just ordered 2 of these for my PC the red ones get them Tuesday....
