Introduction:
You may remember our Scythe S-Flex review that came out earlier this year. In it, we reviewed the three current models of S-Flex fans that were on the market, the "D", "E" and "F" variants. These fans ranged from a low noise 800rpm model up to a higher noise and higher airflow model running at 1200rpm. Today we were just sent the fourth addition to this series, the "G" model. This is an even higher model than the "F" variant, offering much more airflow.
