I'm hoping this will wake Noctua up and we see more interesting products from the other companies competing in this space

@Bayofthe91st 2 года назад

We still need to see the rest of their 2021 roadmap. With Phanteks releasing this first, Noctua may do some trick for their upcoming black NF-A12x25.

@Persason 2 года назад

One thing is dB og sound pressure another thing is the fan pitch (frequency) at some other channel I was able to listen to the fans and while they may be tested at the same sound pressure in dB the frequencies exhibited by the two fans are very different. In other words the Noctua was far more pleasant to the ears. Also do bear in mind that the phanteks one is thicker, hence it moves more air.

@ryuuseiboi950 2 года назад

@@Persason That's very subjective and can't be measured tho.

@MasonStormSunny 2 года назад

They don't need to be woken up. Phanteks T30 is 30mm thick and its a different fan category than Noctua NF-A12x25. Phanteks could not beat Noctua as Noctua NF-A12x25 is engineered to the last so they went with a 30mm version.

@MasonStormSunny 2 года назад

@SmashStomp Inc these fans are usually used with WC radiators. 5mm is a lot in that situation when you also need to consider a rad thickness.

@MrGarrowson 2 года назад

thank you for covering this niche, fans are really overlooked, and it is practically the only thing you'll be hearing from your PC all the time.

@TheTechBuyersGuru 2 года назад

Yeah, it's amazing to me that there wasn't more coverage of this topic, but it is pretty hard to test versus something like GPU framerates.

@blunden2 2 года назад

Especially differentiating between testing as a case fan, a heatsink fan and cooling fan is rare elsewhere. As we've seen from testing here, fans can behave very differently between those use cases.

The last part of this video is definitely the best. Spec doesn't matter when it comes to sounds, as in the same dB reading doesn't always equal to how we perceive the tone of the sound. I have Gentle Typhoon @1850 RPM and they're quiet as hell. Other cheap fan in general at that RPM will 'bleed' our ears. This fascinates me as a human being, as we can't always rely on measurement device to make our decision in life. Again, thanks for the review, Ari! It's definitely an eye (and ear) opener for me! :D

When you mentioned in the end that this is your opinion as well I almost couldn't believe it, that it would be possible to have a fan with that performance with an even better sound than noctua's. Thanks so much for the great video, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find a video that does both noise normalized testing AND play sound samples. That's rare and you're doing a great job!

Well done to Phanteks and their engineering. So this makes me ask the question Ari, will you be testing these T30-120 Phantek fans on the Nh-U12s heatsink? Or maybe as a case fan application?

Except youve missed out in vain, the brown Noctuas look way better than this ass-black/gray tone of Phanteks. I dont get the whole gripe with the Noctua browns, it looks classy and a good contrast in black builds.

Could you add the Akasa Apache Silent fan into your reviews which has been a brilliant silent and performance fan not to mention cost. 💛 Great review again.
