Does anyone know what the difference is between the Vantec Stealth and Vantec Thermalflow?

The only thing I can possibly think of is that the Stealth would be quieter...

I did make a few attempts at trying to figure this out for myself, but I have since gone quite mad.

The Vantec Stealth is legendary as one of the quietest case fans on the market.

The Thermoflows, on the other hand, come complete with a thermostat control.. so they're quiet at idle, but will rev up as the temperature increases.

The Stealths are, to my knowledge, slightly quieter and slightly cheaper. Which is better depends on your application; if you're not overclocking or otherwise generating large amounts of heat, I'd recommend the Stealth.

Huh, thats pretty close to what I was inching towards. One other question though, the Stealth is adjusts automatically as well? The thermoflow is controlled by the thermostat and the Stealth is controlled by the motherboard or a switch?

Thanks for the help Martian
