underrated channel. All your vids bring something interesting, and the overall "flow" as well as the sequencing is just smooth, natural, logical and allows to focus on the content and assimilate it.
Just swapped my Corsair SP for 2 Arctic P12 and wow! That's day and night. Even at full speed noise is perfectly acceptable compared to constant throttling of the corsair's fans and mid-high speed. Good job Arctic !
Whoa, are you with Arctic? I always understood the "whining" sound to be resonance from the fan blades' shape/material; was it really the motor all along? Definitely swapping over if that was addressed. edit: just noticed that the fan blades are attached to a ring around the perimeter. If it came down to the fan blades I have to assume that helped!
Hi, thanks for this comment! I love the LF II AIOs, but have swapped out the fans due to this distinct tone appearing at some RPMs. Are you saying that this tone is gone with the new ARGB version? This is fantastic news if that’s the case!
I just picked up a 3 pack and they are exactly what I was looking for in my new build. I'm not a 'fan' of the ring RGB and like that these are more subtle with the brightness and it's defused well. I've used Arctic in all my builds over the years and took the plunge into RGB this time. Chalk it up to peer presuer I guess. Ended up with a free DarkFlash DLM21 case due to a newegg mess up and they said keep it as it cost to much to ship back. Now my son and I sport the same case. I usually do mods to Mac G5 cases and I may still do it but for now this works. That Mac G5 is just calling my name from my garage to mod it. Thanks for the video!
Nice review as always. Could you change the pinky background color of your charts to something more neutral? It makes charts barely readable on smartphone 😅 Any advice for a rgb 140mm fan with standard Argb connectors?
id love to get a set but Amazon is selling these at 97€+ shipping that puts another 8 euros on top...hard pass at those prices, really hoped i could get them at 43.
Could you use the ARGB on the Artic eSports 34 cooler, also thanks for the acoustic tests. great to see what they sound like in an actual system not just outside the case.
I installed these yesterday im a bit dissaointed they are so silent 😂,my other computer sounds its going to lift of....i bought these cause i like the rgb ,but also cause my cpu was getting to 60 degrees celcius when idle ,when i installed a new cpu cooler from nzxt (with new termal paste)it went down to 31 degrees now installed 2 of these in the front 1 in the back ,(replacing stock earocool on in the back )the cpu idle is around 28 degrees celcius😮.
How would you install this for positive airflow inside a case with 2 radiators? The black rims do look like they would mess up the visuals. A pull config test would be great.
Interesting video. I have an Arctic Freezer II 420mm AIO. It works well, keeping my toasty 9900k at reasonable temps. I have wondered if Arctic will ever make a 140mm equiv of their ARGB fans for the P14 version. It does seem in their colourful additions to their AIO range they are only, as yet anyway, releasing those that use the P12 type of fans. Putting the lack of bling aside the 420mm AIO is most capable and only needs one cable when connecting. BTW in other videos I understand why you use the Noctua fans (Noctua NF-A12x25) as you do, they are known as a std for other 120mm fans to reach. When I had a Noctua cooler I changed both of their fans for two Thermaltake 120mm Toughfan 12, they looked better being black, and the cooling was most comparable. The Thermaltake 120mm Toughfan 12 are very good.
Great video with the comparison! In my personal opinion I think the mouse-clicking should be left out of the audio samples, it's harder to focus on the difference. Or maybe just do a couple at the start/end of the sample. Keep up the awesome vids tho!
i think you can set it in software like mystic light(if your motherboard is Msi), theres also the RGB version not aRGB which only is static color and its a little bit cheaper
@@kirikotone Yep, seen that one. It helped me decide to buy them. But a comparison of the two would be interesting. My question was asking if you meant the “P120”, as I’d never heard of the “P12” Bionix.
@@TheEthNick Oh yeah lol.. Dunno why they changed the nomenclature between their fans made it confusing lol. Which one did you end up getting btw? I am still a bit undecided between those two.
