Advertised Vs. Real Performance
This is probably the most crucial page, showing how accurate the data provided by the manufacturers/brands on their products is. Since nobody could verify these numbers so far, it was an open field for every brand to declare whatever it wanted, but this stops now. I should also note that I strictly follow the specific guidelines (ISO7779: 2018) for taking noise measurements in information technology and telecommunications equipment.
In the table below, anything in Red means bad news, while the Blue fonts are good!
| Performance Metric | Advertised Performance | Real Performance | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Max Speed (RPM) | 3000 | 3037 | +1.23% |
| Max Input Current (A) | 0.8 | 0.86 | +7.5% |
| Max Power (W) | 9.6 | 10.36 | +7.92% |
| Qmax (CFM) | 105.8 | 105.64 | -0.15% |
| Pmax (mmAq) | 8.14 | 8.27 | +1.6% |
| Max Noise Level (dBA) | 47.3 | 48.7 | +1.4 dBA |
The maximum speed is a bit higher than advertised, and the same goes for the static pressure which is insanely high. The claimed airflow is very close to the maximum reading I got, while power consumption is higher, not by an alarmingly high difference. Lastly, it is nice to see a realistic noise output claimed value. The difference with what I measured was only 1.4 dBA, with the fan spinning at full speed. Kudos to Hyte for providing realistic performance and noise output data.
Really think you need to test the lian li p28 at this point. Can be had for under $15 regularly (bought mine for ~$12 a piece) and seems to have some rest performance.
Not gonna lie, had higher hopes for these hyte fans. Considering T30s have come down in price this makes it a tough sell.
will try to find some P28s then.
Awesome! Can’t wait.
