Always glad to see your fan videos, I am a bit sad to see that unfortunately the ARGB fans are not included. Would have loved to see the P12 ARGB and the Sickleflows included in this battle. Curious to see if the P12 ARGB Performances anywhere near the stock P12 and where the Sickleflow would land on the noise chart. Would love to have high performing fans that are RGB without getting Phanteks Halos

i just bought 3x Phanteks T30 and use them as front intake fans... the Arctic Liquid Freezer 360 with standard fans (i think they are Arctic P12) i love the combination for temperatures while gaming but also the noise levels... was thinking if i should get 3 more Phanteks and install them on the radiator... is it worth to invest 100$ more?

People seems have forgotten about: Delta, SanAce, Scythe, and one of the best ever: Blacknoise mults. Not saying these are better, but would love to see them included in this kind of comparisons to make them more competitive. There is also the new BeQuet Silent Wings Pro 4 which is by many out there Bequiet best ever.
@STSYT
@STSYT Рік тому
Not forgotten. When doing this video back then, I had to choose specific fans as we don't have the time to benchmark for multiple weeks with a 3-vid/week schedule. But in the near future we will start benchmarking every fan (also going backwards), on radiators of different thicknesses. Give it a few weeks and most of your list will come with stats and graphs.

@Ben-ld1qi Рік тому
I got like 10 of the p12 pwm pst and 5 of the p14 pwm pst. But now I switched to custom water cooling and using 3x 360mm radiators with just the p12s. The fans are really crazy value but they do have their faults with humming and whine at certain RPMs so that's why I asked which version he got. If I were to switch fans then I'd probably go for the a-rgb ones so I was just wondering if it was the rgb or argb that fixed the probs he previously had with the regular p12s. On the other hand I'm thinking of perhaps just getting all Noctua NF-A12x25 chromax fans but at $32.90 a pop I just can't justify it ... Edit: oh I'm not worried about the specs tho, be it regular/rgb/argb they're all fine in the regard lol

@STSYT Gibt es zu diesem Video ein Followup mit den aktuellen Lüftern? Und für mich wäre sehr interessant ein "Best 140mm Radiator Fan" vergleich. Inkl. Akasa Apache 140mm und dem Thermaltake ToughFan 14, weil bei diesen Lüftern die rein Technischen Daten sehr vielversprechend aussehen. Zudem wäre eine Statistik interessant in der alle Lüfter zb. bei 1000Upm und 1200Upm gemessen werden.

I can tell you the Phanteks T30 swapped onto my Corsair H60 AIO brought my CPU temperature down by 8 degC from the Corsair fan that came with the AIO, and at lower speeds. The stock fan was spinning at full speed the entire time my PC was on and was noticeably noisy. The AIO is mounted in the front panel of my SilverStone SG05BB-Lite mini-ITX case and I can barely hear the Phanteks T30 fan.

And on low rpm Arctic fans makes humming sound with pwm mode. On dc mode pump not working correctly. With separate cable fans in dc mode not hear humming noise but still can't see pump rpm in bios. Better run it 100% all time then

Generally Pumps should run at max- or close to max speed. For my own builds I just tend to run the Arctic pump separately by not using the splitter. We do the same for the review

Really enjoying your videos lately but I don't find this a very fair test on an open air case design. This might give the phanteks a big advantage compared to the noctua and the (not tested) silent wings pro 4 especially from the the fact that it is a thicker (wider) fan aswell.

Unfortunately it seems that at the time of filming the video you didnt have your hands on the Silent Wings 4 Pro (This is the correct way to spell the fan!), would have been a very interesting comparison.

@DjRavix
@DjRavix Рік тому
Hm … yeah I get why the phanteks T30’s take the lead … the fan is 20% thicker than the rest so you should actually take 20% off from the T30 it’s performance to get a more fair results The other thing I noticed is that for the A12X25’s it seems you did not use the included radiator mounting corners (since I only see the normal corners mounted to the fan) From what I know this improves the performance of the fan when used on a radiator
@Ilost11
@Ilost11 Рік тому
Thickness doesn't scale necessarily, the same can be said for larger fan sizes. There are instances where a fan design in 120mm works great and the 140mm is less effective or inverse can occur. In addition, the EKWB Meltemi, a 38m (120mm) is noticeably worse than all the top performers on this list in noise normalized performance despite being noticeably thicker and being made specifically for static pressure radiator applications according to data from other testers. The Gentle Typhoons 1850, Nocuta A12s and Phanteks T30 are king.
@TheEchelon
@TheEchelon Рік тому
Why would you subtract 20% off? That's complete nonsense. You should test the fans as is, because that's the performance you get when installing them...
