Its been a while since weve done a 5 PC Fan Showdown not dominated by RGB fans and we think its time to remedy that. This time, with a splash of color Weve got some interesting contestants for this 5 fan showdown. This time were going to look at fans that youve likely never heard of, save for one. Theres always one This time weve got some colorful contenders all priced 25 and below. Here s our testing plan: We ll test direct airflow using an anemometer and a 3Dprinted housing weve created to duct air. Next, well run the same test again with the fans attached to a radiator and ducted through another design weve created. Then well test the amount of noise the fan creates above the ambient room noise level. To evenly compare these fans, we ll test all of them at 1700 RPM. Lastly, we ll evaluate the looks of the fans.
