Any case fan DBs out there?

[Ivanova]

I was wondering, is there any place I could find a large, detailed, comprehensive database of case fans?

More specifically, listing flow rates, noise, size, manufacturer/model, and voltage/current in - that would be nice.

Thanks

Well, suppose I were to start a chart of (some) case fans - what's the likelyhood of such a thing being hosted here?

might worth a try

i wouldn't mind helping. How would you get fan noise though... or air flow? You got devices to measure such things lying around?

If you're compiling from different resources, then you should make sure that each fan listing references the source. A good source for fan info is at www.silentpcreview.com.

--I won't be gathering data from my own test set. (Though, I'd really, really love such instruments and many, many others.) BTW, anyone out there wanna donate a decent SNA/Spectrum Analyzer/Voltage-Current Supply/Function Generator/Milliohm Meter to the "TMDE for Ivanova Foundation?" Instead, I will be using the specs given by the manufacturer.

--Source will be manufacturer page, and no others (unless the manufacturer provides nothing); the manufacturers should have relatively truthful specs. Should.

When you do get your information compiled then be sure to post it in the Coolers and Heatsink section of the Forumz.

--My mistake. Sorry.

--However, I am a very, very busy person, juggling work, and studying for collage stuff, as well as my million other interests. So, I'm sorry if this thread seems like a promise. I will be working on it, however. (I already have a couple manufacturers down in an .XLS already...) Hopefully, I can cram this activity in my ~2 hours of free time a day?

I agree that they should have honest specs, too. If they actually did, then there would much less demands for forums like these....and a lot less money spent on items with marketing-inflated specification claims.
