Kind of a odd chart, dba x cpu temp. I know the guy probably doesn't have a ton of testing equipment but I feel like dba x fan speed percentage or dba x cfm. Or if you wanted to test heatsink performance just max stress test temperature.

noise vs speed is not very useful, and CFM is notoriously hard to test. For a simple test, noise vs temperature is exactly what I'm interested in, and I do appreciate that he included his subjective assessment of the noise as well
the Phantek T30 does very well again in this test, I'd love to see more thick fans at 120mm and 140mm as for 6 of the 8 fans I have in my PC, it wouldn't matter much how thick they are as long as they perform. I have a bunch of NF-A12x25's that I'm very happy with, but I could replace every single one of them with a T30 and it'd likely have a good impact on temps at the same perceived noise level
