You know the feeling: moderate expectations, and then a surprise. With the MaxFlow fan, a fairly positive one. It delivers excellent results not only at its maximum speed, but also in quieter operation. However, it is weaker with obstacles, where it has to overcome higher resistance from the surrounding environment, and it should also be noted that, as with the Phanteks T30 and Sudokoo Mach120, its thicker profile means poorer compatibility.
Results: Static pressure, efficiency depending on orientation
Explanatory note: The orientation of the impeller can affect the resulting static pressure. In these graphs, we examine the ratio between the “pull” and “push” configurations, effectively producing a coefficient. A value greater than 1.00 indicates that the fan produces higher static pressure when pulling. Conversely, a value below 1.00 means it performs better when pushing. In some cases, the ratio is balanced and close to unity.
