Specifications

Specifications taken directly from the SilenX website:

"Featuring the first fan blade designed for optimal airflow and aerodynamics, SilenX iXtrema Pro Series Quiet Fans are the result of thousands of hours of testing and fluid dynamics simulations. The result is a fan that can push more air per revolution at lower noise levels than any other fan available and proof that SilenX delivers the best in silent computing. Reduced motor size, increase fan blade surface, lower lateral surface area on the motor vanes along with silicon-composite fan mounts puts this fan above the rest."

Silence is golden, but gold always comes with a hefty price tag.

If you are looking to silence your machine, are the SilenX Ixtrema series of fans worth your money?

~14dBA at full speed? That's quiet - My 99p 120mm ebuyer ones are in the low-mid 30s!

Good review

Its worth noting the the Xtreme Performance (38mm) ones that are not featured in the review are a fair bit louder

Dam they nice. Could do with one to replace the jet-engine/****cmf fans i have. But £16 for a fan is way out for me

Thanks for the review, I'll be sure to look into them when upgrading my cooling system

looks like good fans but no way they will come to my "backwater" country

31-05-2006, 03:21:49

FarFarAway

SpecialTech would most likely send them mate

31-05-2006, 12:32:33

Raven

they would but the price is abit out of my range so will go with cheaper fans.

I know you dont like to bring back old threads but this is a good one. Especially now the fans are less $$

Excellent review XMS, probably one of the first that I have read that is accurate.

And they are not just quiet but very well made.

My silverstone fans move barely nothing and make nothing but noise lol.

FarFarAway

Beware of the deeper fans tho. They shift air for sure, but they can be noisy at full
