Konklusion

Innovation
Silverstone har prøvet med nogle enkelte nye ting på deres blæsere. Desværre med blandet held. FM82'erens større vingefang er helt klart et plus, derimod skaber revner i siden ikke den store forskel. FM84XW'erens mindre inertimoment er dog mindre klogt valgt, den støjer simpelthen alt for meget i forhold til ydelse.

Bundle
Der følger fint med ekstra ting med til blæserene, dog er det synd at der ikke følger vibrationsdæmpere med til dem alle.

Design
Den hvide farve passer godt til de sølvfarvede kabinetter, der jo med blæserstyrings farve er målgruppen for disse blæsere. Det er synd de ikke vælger at lave den i flere farver.
FM82'erens utraditionelle design er både flot og praktisk mens FM84XW virker derimod noget klodset og i praktisk kun anvendelig som CPU køler.

Ydelsen
Ydelsen i forhold til støj er på det jævne. Dog klarede FN81 sig godt med sit lave støjniveau, hvorimod de andre alle byttede ydelsen for støj.

Prisen
Prisen er lige i overkanten, ikke mindst p.g.a de få anvendelsemuligheder for de blæserstyrede.

Conclusion

Innovation
Silverstone has tried a few new idears on their fans. Unfortunately with mixed success.
The FM82's larger wingspan is differently a plus, but the slits in the side doesn't seem to make any difference.
The FM84XW's smaller moment of interia is a poorer choice. It simply has a too large noise to performance ratio.

Bundle
The amount of accessories is good, it is a petty, though, that vibrationpads haven't been included with all of the fans.Design
The white colour goes well with the silver cabinets, that are target group for these fans, because of the colour of the fancontrol. It is a petty that Silverstone have chosen not to make the control in other colours.
The FM82's untraditional design is both pretty and practical while the FM84XW on the contrary seem rather clumsy and is only usable as a CPU-fan.

Performance
The performance to noise ratio is for most of the fans average, but the FN81 did stand out with it's low noiselevel.

Price
The price is just a little too high, not at least because of the limited use of the fancontrol.
