Thermalright TL-B12W - Fan Noise

I think it’s kind of a sidegrade to a Gentle Typhoon. Unfortunately this one has a worse silent commutation driver, you can hear it at low speeds, but its not too bad. The blade design of the B12 is mostly copied from Gentle Typhoon, so the performance will be similar. The advantage of this particular fan over the GT is the fluid bearing, which is quieter than the ball bearing. Also, you might prefer the looks of this fan. Finally, this fan does come with some extra accessories, like a Y-splitter.
