Scythe DF Series Discontinued

Post by GHz » Sat Nov 18, 2006 9:15 am

It looks like Scythe has discontinued the DF series of fans and replaced them with NMB/Minebea fans:

This is unfortunate, the NMB/Minebea are--by most accounts--acoustically inferior :( I wonder why they did this. They must have got an outstanding deal from NMB/Minebea... probably surplus value-line stock. Comments?

thanks for the heads-up Ghz.

I needed 2x 92mm fans for a new buld, and I better pick up a couple of DF's before they're gone.

Hello,

The 120mm Scythe DF is made by Young Lin, and I should look at who makes the 92mm...

The 92mm Scythe DF is also made by Young Lin, at least according to the sticker on it. The model number on the sticker is also the same as the Scythe one (DFS92...)
