Vantec Tornado fans blow hugs cfm, at the same time suck.
Anyone else have probelms with vantec tornado fans..?? Here is the situation, I installed one last night on my comp while I was in the process of cooling it better, and it was one the same power line as my hard drive which is a 400 somthing watt from antec, turned the system on and whoa! More air than 20 regular 2800rpm sunon fans it seemed like, was blowing so hard that the air was making my hair blow back and that is no lie, also cleaned out the inside of my case with ease *LOL* But when the comp started it seemed very very sluggish, then after 3 times of tryin to start it it crashed! Lucky I have dual partitions so non of my important data was lost, reinstalled windows 2k and got it started up after moving the fan off the same power wire as the hard drive but again it seemes super super slow! I confirmed this using pass mark, comp was scoring 1/2 or so of what it normally does. Hmmm.... ok so I figure the fan may be draining to much power because I have sooo much in the system! so I unplug it and the system runs fine... well added it up and it should not have taxed the system that bad so I plug it into a different pc and the same thing! made it run slow as heck! Ok now this is getting to odd so I plug it into my bullet proof frankenstein computer, again made the thing run slow as frozen icecream! Took the fan back bought another figuring I had a bad one and now the new one is doing the same thing! I praise vantec for making one hell of a fan cfm wise in a small package, but would be nice if it worked in a pc. Anyone else had similar experience with the tornado..?? This thing must cause some serious feedback in the system. very very odd.
