Currently using the Thermochill PA120.3 with panaflo H1-BX's, the issue is that my aquaero cant handle more than 10W on each channel so I ended up using the mcubed fan amp. The setup works however the control range and RPM is completly wacky.

I want all three fans on the same channel plus RPM monitoring for the aero, thats gives me two choices Papst 25mm and Panaflo 38mm L1-BX considering Papst 38mm with RPM are not available. Ive recieved the Papst 4412 F/2GL and they are very smooth with no bearing noise, I really like them however Iam cautious to go to 25mm deep due to the RAD.

Papst 4412 F/2GL Spec:

- Flow Rate: 55CFM
- 1600RPM
- Noise level: 26 dBA
- Input Power: 1.3W

With a PA, 25mm shouldn't be a problem. Most people use Yates on them.

this is what I thought since the fin density is nothing like a black ice xtreme, also the PA series are optimised for low speed fans and upto 100CFM.

As for the panaflo's Id have to order them from the US as I did for the 120mm H1 BX's.

Panaflo and Papst are both great but I must say the Papst wins in the bearing noise, the panaflo in the static pressure for sure.

alot of people think the orange ones are better fans, i have the black and they are silent

also i have the mcubed t-blancer and tried some panaflo 38mm fans but they made bearing niose when undervolted so they controller made them make noise... so dont use the panaflos on the mcubed because it is PWM signal

the M1A's are great at 7v
 
my mcubed is analogue not PWM, anyway ive gone ahead with the papst's.
