Normalized Noise Tests
For these tests, I set the fan to speeds with noise output at the following predefined levels: 20/25/30/35/40/45 dBA. I skip the corresponding tests if the fan under the test cannot reach some noise levels. The speeds shown in the graph below are measured with the fan in a clear space inside my hemi-anechoic chamber without any obstacles. I set these speeds on the Longwin machine, but they slightly change because of the variable conditions that the device applies.
20 dBA Noise Output
- Low speed
- Decent airflow
- Low static pressure
- Mid to low power consumption
25 dBA Noise Output
- Low speed
- Decent airflow
- Low static pressure
- Low power consumption
30 dBA Noise Output
- Low speed
- Decent airflow
- Low static pressure
- Low power consumption
35 dBA Noise Output
- Low speed
- High airflow
- Low static pressure
- Low power consumption
40 dBA Noise Output
- Low speed
- High airflow
- Low static pressure
- Low power consumption
45 dBA Noise Output
- Low speed
- Top airflow
- Mid static pressure
- Low power consumption

Please compare the Super Flower Megacool 140 to the Iceberg Thermal Icegale Xtra 140 and the Noctua iPPC 140.
Noctua was supposed to send this fan, but they didn’t eventually. I guess they are pissed with the G2 review.
When a test of the Noctua IPPC 140mm 3000RPM for have a fan to compare it ? 🙂
Sent an email to Noctua and weirdly enough I didn’t get a reply. Will talk again to my contact there.
