Man I just came across this video while testing my wind sim, I have a Cytron MDD10 which works like a charm but I have noticeable lag during gameplay, basically the fans are at least a full second behind. Probably going to try smaller fans to see the sweet spot between responsiveness and performance
I use 4 x Noctua NF-B9 Redux 1600rpm 92mm fans mostly due to space issues on my sim rig. They don't blow anyone away and noise is non existent, but works nice for me.
Also test how fast the different fans react to change in speed - I am using the same Noctua industrial 120mm 3000RPM fans atm - before that I had two 6000 RPM fans - but they were noticeably slow to react - which kind of broke the immersion. The Noctua 3000RPM ones seem much better in that regard.
airflow rating aka Cubic Feet Per Minute sanyo 60mm cfm = 80 cfm noctua 3000rpm 120mm = 108 cfm noctua 3000rpm 140mm = 158 cfm not sure what model delta you have but should be around the 200 cfm the max amp on the fan controller is 3amp per fan. the highest rated cfm fan I could find at a resonable price of around £15 per fan is 250 cfm @ 7000 rpm
@@SimRacingCorner RPM is only really relevant within the same model of fan, and even then it doesn’t scale linearly with CFM. Looking at CFM is a much better metric. Similarly, you wouldn’t judge an engine based on its max RPM, but it’s horsepower and torque figures instead.

Does windows simulation help you feel how fast.you are going?
Does it hurt your eyes?

Definitely, this is an aspect that will be covered.
Exactly what I was looking for, I got the full simprject 16k rpm kit, not received yet, I may put some 80 or 120 mm
Thank you. You help us make choices after doing the efforts.

Fan holder bracket - little plastic part in the middle of fan shroud. What is the name of print part?
Any news on the fan test video?
Other things came up, so it's pushed back a bit.
@@SimRacingCornerNo problem. I will patiently wait for it 😁
cfm is way more important than max rpm so i went with same arctic p 12 or p14 pwm fans like i mostly use in all my pc builds
You do realise the CFM is related to RPM, right?
