Anyone own both version of Gentle Typhoons?
The Black 3000+ rpm ones vs the Grey 1850rpm ones
And can compare them?
Both versions? There are more than two different Scythe GTs (which are just rebranded Nidec Servos), there's a whole range of them ranging from scythe AP-11 (which are hard to find) to AP-31s.
I do find the Corsair reviews hard to buy, especially since I've seen some of those fans in action. They're not bad fans, but they're loud for their performance. If I was to grab a bunch of 120mm mount fans, I'd grab some of the Thermalright TY fans. If I wanted good and quiet fans with good static pressure, I'd get Noctuas or Be Quiet Silent Wings 2.
And I wouldn't be surprised if Corsair bought of reviewers. I know they've basically bought off Tiny Tom Logan and I wouldn't be surprised if they have bought off others. It's not that they produce bad components as they have many good computer parts, they're just usually obscenely overpriced for their level of performance.
