Scythe Expands Gentle Typhoon Series with New High-RPM Fans
Scythe Co. Ltd. extends the popular Gentle Typhoon fan series by three powerful high RPM models. The new Gentle Typhoon High RPM fans are available with 3.000, 4.250 and 5.400 rpm. These high fan speeds generate an incredible airflow of 141, 197 and 255 m³ per hour (83.0 / 116.5 / 150.1 CFM).
In direct comparison to fans with similar specs, the Gentle Typhoon High RPM series scores with a significant lower noise. Like the normal GT models, a perfectly balanced Nidec Servo bearing is used, ensuring an average MTBF of 100.000 hours. The reliable motor operates with an almost fluctuation-free rotational torque. Vibrations transferred from the motor to the venturi (fan case) are reduced to a minimum.In addition, the fan blades of the Gentle Typhoon High RPM series are equipped with a stabilizing ring. In this way, the air flow is more focused which results in a higher cooling performance. At the same time the stabilization effect further helps to reduce vibrations.
The Gentle Typhoon High RPM series is now available for €16 excluding VAT.

It sucks, however, they cost a fortune. As it sits, in some situations I've recommended people using 2 cheaper fan config, as sometimes that's actually a better way to go. For applications you can use one fan for though, these are wonderful if you can afford them. Kind of wish they'd make a ~140mm-in-120mm mounting model, as that's all the rage these days and I kind of like it. Perhaps it isn't possible with this design though.
They make brilliant fans for high density radiators for this reason.

There's another review like this one floating about somewhere as well, throws silenx ixtrema fans into the mix as well.
( ixtremas suck the big one for cooling, good for exhaust fans though :laugh: )
They're the quietest fans you can get and also the the strongest on a rad without going into the extreme 2000+ rpm fans (sanyo denko, scthye Ultra kaze etc)
Sucks if you got a bad one but to try and suggest any scythe fan is quieter in ludicrus
But either the GT ball bearing noise ticks me of or there's some sort of serious QA issue because I owned 2x1450RPM and 2x1850RPM, about 8 months apart.
Note: I don't have either fans. Only going off what I hear in the videos.

and at 700rpm my SS 180mm fans put out 100cfm and make pretty much sod all noise at 1000rpm they put out 130cfm and still only a quiet murmur for noise
