First a shout out to 2black1s, who published the parade fan test data and really motivated me to change direction in my cooling pursuit...

Thanks for the recognition and good luck with your project.

I don't know if 2black1s is aware that his test data using the LeNale fan is being quoted on LeNale Engineering's Ebay site...

The stabilized CHT of 246 degrees in my testing was obtained at an ambient temperature of 70-72 degrees. I was planning on repeating the test at higher ambient temperatures during the past summer but I never got around to it. The fan worked so well that I really didn't see the need, other than for the sake of knowledge. Maybe I'll try again when we get the next 85-90 degree day.
I wasn't aware that my testing was being referenced on LeNale's site, but LeNale did contact me after seeing the test I conducted and asked permission, and I obliged, to use my data.
Thanx Truk, you're the one that got me to thinkin' about going w/a cam
that would actually come on and start to work immediately, not like later on but like right now..
Thanx man.. I do appreciate it.
Going w/a Dragula 2-1 now too.
Subscribed,, Nice work fabrik8r! I too am very interested in how this works out for ya! I am currently running the Ultra Cool. It brought my OT down from mid 260s to lower 230s on very hot days here in Ga. I would love to take advantage of a proven way to keep the OT at 200 or below! Very impressive,,,Good luck man! Please keep us posted.
Nice approach; sounds like meticulous data recording; the results are definitely something of interest to me -- it's the first product that appeals to me aesthetically for this purpose. And, if your results are replicable on several other machines, you definitely have a market.
