Saying Hello

[doyll]

Heard about EHW from Enterprise so decided to join. Hoping my background in air cooling can help others.

Glad to have you here, don't forget to check out the Discord as well

[doyll]

Thanks! Will do!

Hello, taking your background in air cooling as something related to designing fans?

Hello and Welcome!

 

Thanks!

Welcome !

 

Thanks mate!

 

Just tried to quote 2 replys with single reply and couldn't do it. Will report it.

LOL No, nothing that technical.

 

My knowledge is more the application of airflow. Like how to setup a system so it's airflow supplies cool air to components by creating good case airflow that flows heated air flow out without mixing it (and heating) with cool air coming from intake fans. When done well we can have a nice cool and quiet system.

Oh well, I was just hoping that you'd be the one person that knows something more about airflow vs pressure optimization, etc than what I know and I've been able to find online, well still, I hope that we can learn from each other

I might be able to help. I know of some good fans, and of course some not so good. Airflow is all about preessure differentials. Higher pressure air flows into lower pressure areas. First thing (don't now if you know or not) is fan static pressure rating is how much pressure fan and push into a sealed container at it's full speed. Now to put 1.5mm H2O rating into perspetive, it is about as much difference in pressure as we have on our waist vs on your feet when standing at sea level. 1.5mm H2O rating is almost no pressure at all, and fans need to be spinning relatively fast (1000-1500rm) to achieve 1.5mm H2O of pressure.

I know about that, fan size and RPM are linked directly, fan shape directly changes noise, airflow and pressure, I also know that airflow optimized fans(Kaze Flex comes to mind) actually are almost always rated at 1.5-2mm H20, meanwhile pressure optimized fans can do many times higher pressure(pretty much any Delta fan comes to mind here).

I myself am annoyed that people that do fan and cooler reviews have no idea what metrics they should use and use the popular crap CFM and dB, which tbf has no meaning without pressure for both airflow and sound and frequency for sound, low humming fans like Noctua are pretty inaudible even at higher dB, meanwhile something with higher frequency will be really annoying even at low dB, so dB(A) is what makes you love or hate noises coming from a fan, while most reviewers use dB and misleadingly write the dB(A). (here is a lot of good information about A-weighting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-weighting ).

You seem to know more about it than I do.

 

Problems are not just lack of knowledge, but lack of conditions and equipment in which proper testing can be done.

On mobile or desktop is this ? Either way, we are improving this on EHW 2.0

 

For now, please see the guide on multi quoting here :https://extremehw.net/forum/main-forum/200-site-guide-features

On desktop.

 

Can't seem to get tutorial video to play. Tried with both Chrome & Firefox. Might be something in settings. I'm about to do a clean install (next week or so) and will try again when done. For the most part I'm liking how site works. :thumbs_thumbup:

I am glad to hear, EHW 2.0 will be bringing some nice improvements

 

As for the tutorial video, it works my end, I did note though that due to spoiler tag behavior, if you click play on YT embed, it will collapse the spoiler, just click on spoiler again and it will expand and the video will be playing

I agree, but the main issue is, that it brings a lot of misconceptions to the mainstream market that I'd want to see eliminated, sadly up to this point I haven't found a reliable reviewer that would post all of the data.

[doyll]

True, but that's what consumer marketing is all about these days .. and has been for many, many years. Granted, it's getting worse and worse. If you want to continue this discussion we should probably more it to appropriate forum rather than here in New Members forum.

Looking forward to seeing what is changed. I need to spend more time on this version, but so far I'm liking better than most.
