The Enermax TB Silence range is extremely impressive, the 120mm unit in particular is the quietest fan we have tested to date and barely registered on our monitoring equipment above the ambient noise of the room. The BatWing blades on the TB Silence 120mm are clearly not just a gimmicky name designed to attract geeky sci fi fanatics.
The TB Silence 140mm is another great performer, with very low levels of noise meaning it is inaudible unless your ear is a few inches away from it. When you consider the airflow is also 77cfm then Enermax are onto another winner.
Our favourite fan today was the Enermax Apollish Vegas – it isn't apologising for being pure bling and ‘in your face'. The 18 LED's not only light up a room but they have more lighting modes than a Take That concert. The pleasure is that when you get bored of the lighting, or you want it off at night, there is a unit which allows you to do so – Enermax even supply a little sticky backed solution to mount it to the rear of your case for easy access.
You can therefore impress your friends and family with your new pulsating chassis, but you can turn the LED's off so you can keep your sanity. Underneath all the flash however the actual fan unit is as good as the TB Silence unit, which is massively important. We don't recommend shoddy products at KitGuru.
You can buy these in the UK from Scan. 120mm fan is £7.03. 140mm TB Silence fan is £8.19. 140mm Apollish Vegas is £21.49.
KitGuru says: These fans are certainly some of the finest quality units we have tested to date and the Apollish Vegas is also a lot of fun. Not often you can say that about a fan.
Nice fans, I need a few. cant believe how expensive the Vegas fan is though, over 20 quid !
The black ones are nice looking, great noise levels also. Good review, liked the unusual testing idea in this one, kept it interesting.
Heh, the video is fun, I would hate that pulsing in my room however, would drive me batshit. pun intended.
Decent pricing on the 120mm and 140mm silence fans, cost less than Noctua fans. but are they better than noctua, that is teh question. Certainly look better thats for certain.
I think ill order a few of the 120mm fans for my case, the fans in there are crap.
Enermax are a qualitry company always liked their PSU;s
They seem like good fans, nice noise characteristics anyways. Good review, thanks you.
These are excellent, the glowing lighting up mega fricken cool, but its a lot of money for a fan, aint it?
Impressive fans from Enermax, didnt even know they made fans in the first place.
I cant find these for sale in France? that sucks.
I’m bit freak on silence, so those fans are looking promising – I guess it is time for yet, another upgrade…
I have so many fans that I might do some reviews 😛 and if I sell them for just few euros I might even by my self new cooler or even case 😛
WARNING! The air flow on the fans may be somewhat confusing as it is in m^3/h and not CFM. They are still nice fans, but just wanted to make sure people were aware of the units the airflow is in.
Do Not Buy from Frys.com. They are cheaper than anywhere else but you do not get the control module. Unless you just want the fan and the on off switch. I thought that the contol module came with it, and was kind of bummed.
