I was pretty happy with the results that I was getting with the Scythe Gentle Typhoons and decided to get the two Noctua brothers to test. Before I go any further, let me clarify that this was a test to see which would be the best performer with low noise as an added criteria and is not meant for someone looking for benching fans. With that out of ...

The Obsidian (now a series) represents Corsair’s first foray into the realm of computer cases.

Cooler Master Excalibur Fan Review 0 Comments By mav2000 on February 18, 2010 Introduction Recently my good friends at Cooler Master gave me a call and asked me to take a good look at their new case fan. I half expected a 140 mm version of their famous R4’s or maybe a stronger version of their 200mm line up. Little did I expect to see the Excalibur. This fan is a far departure from their current units and I for one was pretty excited with the design. The Excalibur has been named after the legendary sword of King Arthur, which was said to have magical propertie...
