we have two of these so we are going to do an unboxing off between me and slick so we're going to get the timer going here and I'm going to unbox one of them and he's going to unbox the other one no no no not at the same time keep your F hand in the camera um and then we're going to see who can actually unbox a fan the fastest so we're going to use the iPhone timer so slick go ahead hold on to that hold on to that don't don't bother showing it to them it's okay they'll they'll just have to trust us that we're taking time accurately they can always use their YouTube you know timer to to see who can unbox the fan the fastest so so um give me some kind of a signal when I can start okay oh this is harder than it look okay got to get mying off okay I've got the pins got to get everything arranged okay so you can't just take it out of the packaging you got to like silicone pins oh did I lose one oh fam okay there it is okay dime and Slick turned off the camera when I said dime as opposed to just turning off the stopwatch so what was my time slick my time was 22.2 seconds so uh I'm I'm going to do the okay okay no suspense time guys so I'm going to do the proper sort of unboxing of the fan what's cool about this 135 mm fan is it uses 120 mm holes very neat also you got these silicone they call them pins but what I really think they mean is like fan mounting dads all right I guess that's not really better so basically this goes into your case and it acts as like a uh rubber layer in between the actual fence so so no vibration can be passed to the case or the cooler or whatever ever else you're using also comes with zman's famous they were the first ones to start doing this if I recall correctly they're famous inline resistors so you can easily put the fan in quiet mode just by plugging this in and then plugging this into a header let's go and do a quick sound test with the fan uh before we get too much further ahead of ourselves here so I'm going to go ahead and plug this into one of the headers on this board that is a oh no I'll just do this to make my life easier because that way I'll know that it's a full speed header so we can get some idea of how quiet the fan actually is you know zman's fans are underrated out there to be perfectly honest just in terms of uh of quiet fans almost all of their fans don't sound stupid whereas there's lots of other companies that do make sort of stupid overly loud fans in that wow that's actually outstanding and that's without the low noise adapter it's pushing a decent amount of air I mean obviously this is very subjective um this is like sort of Linus's gut feel about how do the fan sounds how much air it's pushing uh one of the other great things about zoman fans is they tend to undervolt reasonably well because they come with an undervolting adapter I wish I could isolate some of the noise from the stupid computer that is darn near silent there is no motor noise to this fan whatsoever um bearing in mind though it's using a sleeve bearing they do tend to be very very quiet at the beginning and they can get a little bit louder over time also sleeve bearings aren't great for horizontal installations so you want to T typ use them uh where they're going to be vertical such as on a CPU Cooler whether it's this way or this way or whatever else on a radiator or something along those lines so now uh let's take a break and we will come back with Slick's attempt to beat my 22.2 second time okay hold on I got to indicate to uh slick when to uh when to go for it here I'm just going to reset so remember guys my time is 22.2 ready and go he doesn't stand a chance look at him he's already way behind does not stand a chance see he lost the silicone things I can't see that's only three oh I just got beat well thank you for checking out this unboxing and don't forget to subscribe to L Tech don't crack your knuckles don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips for unboxings reviews and
