Excuse me, which fan is good for case D41 Mesh, TL-S12, Phanteks M25 Rgb, TL-C12B-V2, TL-C12C-S ? Or all fan is enough for that case ? Thank you.

The light wings are the only good performing fans with a led ring light with a 140mm version, so they have basically no competition in that section. From other tests it seems that the 140mm version ( not the high speed one ) is way better than the 120mm, but they are old tests without the comparisons with the recent fans. I'm looking for a fan with this type of ARGB and the best one seems to be the Seasonic Magflow ARGB, but there is no 140mm, so I'm sad

A little advice: since there are a lot of data in reviews like this, I suggest you to use chapters. A lot of people skip very good videos just because there are no chapters

In case no one has stated this, the round thing on the back is almost certainly the cmos battery

It will beat P12MAX?

Excuse me, will the stock fans of PS120 SE Argb (TL-C12B-S V2) work well if I put them under my GPU for intake ?. And your video is very great. 🎉

Happy to see channels like this. There are a lot of good fans in the market, but sometimes is really difficult to find good reviews, especially for 140mm fans. I'm looking for a 140mm fan to use on the back of my case, but I don't know what to choose. From other tests, it seems that the best choices would be the P14 Max or the RS140 Max ( without considering the budget for the last one ). After seeing your reviews, now I'm curious about the Thermalright TL-B140 Extrem

Is there any way I can turn off the rgb in the S12? Can I cut one of the wires or something? Want one to blow up air on my GPU and one as exhaust, but don't want the RGB.. Thank you!

What switches do you have on the azoth? They dont sound like the NX Snow so it isn't an apples to apples comparison. My Azoth doesn't sound like that at all with the NX Snow switches.

Cami plug this in a Regular motherboard 4 pin fan header since it’s 24v?

Bought two arctic p14 max fan for my lian li lancool 205m case. Installed these instead of 2x front intake stock lian li 140 mm fans and there was temperature drop 4 celcius on cpu, 5 celcius on GPU in 29 celcius ambient temperature. Also my case has dust filter in front of intake fans. Impressive performance and not so loud. I strongly recommend these fans for your case.

Really wish you would put Amazon links to all the products in your videos in the description! Affiliate links could help you boost revenue.

I'm thinking of buying a barebones version of this, I've not seen many 96% vids for it, so cool!

thank you so much for taking the time to make such an in-depth video, it was very informative, found all the answers i was looking for :D keep it up!

I wanted to buy these to cool my Deye 12kw Hybrid inverter. Now i'm not to sure. Would these work?

I’m making an EDF conversion of a 2Ch F-35 RC plane with Tiny Whoop drone motors. I don’t care about noise. *jet noises* 😂

Great video thank you for your effort

I used to buy the Noctua Redux fans for my projects but recently bought a couple of P12 for a small filter project. The build quality is a big step down from the Noctuas. The performance is impressive but the fact that they feel a lot cheaper makes me question if I will continue using them. The cable itself is very stiff and cheap compared to the Noctuas.

I discovered your channel a while ago, and I really appreciate the amount of data you have gathered and the thoroughness of your testing. I would however like to suggest a few improvements to the testing methodology if I may. For case airflow testing, the configurations that makes the most sense would be 3 in the front, 1 in the back (tested in an actual case of course), with a different case for 120mm fan testing and 140mm fan testing, respectively. The problem with testing fans blowing air through a cardboard cutout is that it tells us only how they perform in perfect conditions, but in real world operation, conditions are never perfect. Testing a single fan also doesn't show resonance issues that arise with many (if not most) non-LCP fans when 2+ are used. I'm quite sure that when testing this way, some of the cheaper "value" fans would fall off because they can't keep up the airflow, or they become noisier, so your overall rankings would look much different. In my humble opinion, benchmarks on an air cooler are somewhat pointless, because people who buy an air cooler rarely replace their fans, and if they do, well... it's not the smartest thing, because the fins are optimized for the stock fans, and it's also not the most cost-effective thing to do. I think testing fans on a 360 and 280 radiator makes the most sense for CPU cooler benchmarks. Having seen a lot of bad methodologies (elsewhere), I would also need to point out that fan tests (both as case fans and cooler fans) make sense only in a sealed case, not on an open bench or with the side panel off... I understand all the budget concerns of the channel, as I have been following it for a while. I am merely suggesting what I think would be ideal (at some point in the future). Please let me know if you think I am wrong here. You are the aerospace engineer after all.

I like how it has RGB but still looks plain black with it turned off so I dont need to worry about it looking out of place if I decide to not use the RGB. As I'm using them right now on an old build that I plan to bring to a new build in the near future

i currently use the roccat kone pro one of if not the best mouse ive ever had drag clicks like crazy and is generally good for EVERYTHING i got it for like $35 lol

We should treat this video as having the most up-to-date information I take it? I was re-watching the Toughfan 12 Turbo review again and noticed that the A12x25 was performing worse than the Toughfan 12 Turbo in the cooler tests in that video, but now, as of this video, the relative positions have been reversed.

So what is the best fan in this days if i want fan for best cooling performance, i dont care about noise i bought corsair af140 elite but i want know what is top case fan for cooling case down

Great video and summary recap ranking!

Very nice video.Thank you for your big job👍

Haven't you tested the Phanteks T30?

Good video. Could the p12max fdb scale better in the last listo if it cost only 9.99usd? Can you give me the price you used to list the p12 White Max fdb?

Great and very informative video!

I've had mine up and running since late June. Not a single BSOD or other type of crash in Win11. With long encodes running. Incredible performance, easy to cool at only 100w tdp, and rock stability. Highly recommended.

speaker reviews not up to the standard fan reviews. you could add measured freq responses, power, ect.

software ?

Those things on the bottom side are so called passive radiators. The real drivers must be in front behind the fabric.

Can i use them in front of my panel to intake airflow ?

Very informative and entertaining for standart pc clients. Thx for ur efforts man

Any lines at 240?

P12 ARGB vs P12 MAX should I upgrade? I have a 7800X3D and an Arctic Freezer 36

Could you try the new FP2 120 APNX fan, so far I know is the cheapest 30mm pc fan available. Plus it got good RGB and a hefty steel frame.

Great video, as always. In fact you're probably the best source for fan test It would be great if you could test the Lian UNI FAN TL

Hahah I had them to. It’s okay but I got an upgrade, I have the JBL duo and that is really good, bass is just perfect and has a Twettr for the high!! ✌️✌️

Oh btw that button at the top is to change EQ if you don’t want the remote ✌️

Oh Yh btw the T60 has surround sound and clear audio mode, it’s at the bottom where the volume nob is✌️✌️

Data looks good for the price. The new TL-B12 Extrem LCP would be interesting too.

Can you use theys on a aio and would it be ok to splitter them ? Just the 2 tho to one header

So, I purchased the Iceberg Thermal Icegale Xtra 120, Arctic P12 Max, and Cooler Master Mobius 120 OC High Performance. The Icebergs clearly blow more air & harder & further than both, and the Arctic - despite everyone's claims and tests stating how good performs - is clearly in last in terms of both air amount, air distance, and how hard it felt like the air was hitting my hand. The Arctic Max was actually shockingly weak and disappointing. Out of those 3, the Iceberg is the only one that actually felt like it was at or close to the Phanteks T30. The way the air shot out was massively different. When mounted to my Cooler Master HAF 932's side-panel (pull, intake), the Iceberg felt like the air shot from the top of the blade's face upwards at around a 30-45 degree angle and from the bottom of the blade's face downwards at a 30-45 degree angle while the Phanteks felt more like a laser beam shooting forward straight out of the blade's face. This didn't bother me at all since it's for case cooling and the spread is nice, plus, the side panel uses 4x 120 mm so tons of air going everywhere. I was totally fine with the maximum speed noise of all the fans and was ready to keep the Iceberg's since they were the only 3000-ish RPM, high CFM, high pressure fan in around the same league as the Phanteks T30 while still being only 25 mm......until I mounted them to my side panel. Unfortunately, when mounted to the side panel, the Icebergs make an insanely loud, high pitched squealing scream from around 1200 or 1500 RPM or so until max RPM. All the tested fans introduce a new, constant whine/scream noise when mounted to the side panel that usually starts at around the 1300-1500 RPM range but this newly introduced noise - while being a different sounding tone with each fan - is much, much louder and higher pitched with the Icegale than any of the other fans. It actually sort of reminds me of the sound of like delta industrial fans or something (when at the higher RPMs). Again, the sound did NOT occur when the Icegale - or any of the fans - are just held in my hand. The Icegale was perfectly fine then and bloody amazing. It was only when it was mounted to the panel. The Cooler Master also had a sound issue. The Cooler Master was the only fan where that newly introduced panel-noise never went away. Even at 1000 RPM, 800 RPM, 600 RPM, etc. the noise - while obviously going down in pitch and volume the lower the RPM - was always clearly audible...and, trust me, I'm one of the least picky persons around when it comes to PC fan noise. The Arctics - like the Phanteks - do not have either of the 2 panel-noise issues. They both have the panel noise - which I'm assuming most fans would have - but not either of the 2 particular issues described above. So, the Icegale is being returned because of the panel-noise issue, the Cooler Master is being returned because it's performance doesn't come close to the Icegale but while also being 27 mm instead of 25 mm thick and because of the panel-noise issue, and the Arctic is being returned because it's performance is incredibly poor compared to the Icegale and is even noticeably behind the Cooler Master. The final 3000-ish RPM, 25-ish mm fan I'll try is the Silent Wings Pro 4. If it's performance disappoints me like the Cooler Master and especially the Arctic, then I'll just say "screw it" and get Phanteks T30s but I really wanted 25 mm for the side-panel. I don't see a point in trying the awesome Lian Li P28 fans because, at 28 mm thick and their price, I might as well just go Phanteks T30.

Appreciate all the graphs! we can actually see the difference in terms of cfm and noise levels and cost effectiveness between brands. But ultimately i think people wanna see how much is the difference in terms of “temperature” of the system mainly cpu and gpu. Because at the end, that the main purpose of case fans, which is to cool your pc. Anyways still grateful for your effort, you earned yourself a sub !

What program is that you're using for settings? Why 240hz on a screen that can only do 175? What am I not understanding? Thanks

Do you have the data on the A12x25? It seems inconsistent across multiple videos using the New Testing Method.

14:50 this is because the Tornado fans were created to generate high static pressure instead of high CFM. If you could do some testing through a few radiators (low and high density fins) and add static pressure to your testing, I think you would have a more comprehensive idea of what each fan is doing as far as moving air. I liked ur vid tho gj
