What IS This?

This series compares (usually) 5 fans per episode on the basis of RPM, airflow (CMH) and pressure differential (degrees of movement). The focus of this series is to help people see how fans compare against each other for the purpose of exhaust performance. After comparing the 5, they are compared against all of the other fans that have already been compared.

Note: Here, pressure differential refers to the maximum movement by the air of a simple paper tool, where very few fans exceed 90 degrees from 0 (off).

• Note, I discovered that I put the wrong be quiet! fan into the 120mm list. I inserted Pure Wings 2 High-Speed BL083 140mm but I should've inserted Pure Wings 2 BL081 120mm BQ PUW2-12025-HR-PWM.
• The 120mm fan will show up in the next 120 mm episode, which will be done tomorrow. The 140mm fan is in today's episode.
• LOL! I've got egg on my face - egg that went through 2 fans! What a mess! 😅
