1
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:12,880
today we'll be unboxing the Zalman ZM F4

2
00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:20,160
ultra quiet fan with antivibration silicone pins included and I am actually

3
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:23,119
go oh okay okay we have two of these so

4
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:28,560
we are going to do an unboxing off between me and slick so we're going to

5
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:32,239
get the timer going here and I'm going to unbox one of them and he's going to

6
00:00:30,679 --> 00:00:37,879
unbox the other one no no no not at the same time keep your F hand in the camera

7
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:40,800
um and then we're going to see who can

8
00:00:37,879 --> 00:00:44,200
actually unbox a fan the fastest so we're going to use the iPhone timer so

9
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:48,160
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

10
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:54,480
to trust us that we're taking time accurately they can always use their YouTube you know timer to to see who can

11
00:00:51,760 --> 00:01:01,920
unbox the fan the fastest so so um give me some kind of a signal when I can

12
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,920
start okay

13
00:01:02,239 --> 00:01:08,680
oh this is harder than it look okay got to get mying

14
00:01:06,119 --> 00:01:11,400
off okay I've got the pins got to get everything arranged okay so you can't

15
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:19,520
just take it out of the packaging you got to like silicone pins oh did I lose one oh

16
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:23,720
fam okay there it is okay dime and Slick turned off the camera

17
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:29,600
when I said dime as opposed to just turning off the stopwatch so what was my

18
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:31,600
time slick my time was 22.2 seconds so

19
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:35,159
uh I'm I'm going to do the okay okay no suspense time guys so I'm going to do

20
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:40,479
the proper sort of unboxing of the fan what's cool about this 135 mm fan is it

21
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:42,479
uses 120 mm holes very neat also you got

22
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:47,439
these silicone they call them pins but what I really think they mean is like

23
00:01:44,399 --> 00:01:49,439
fan mounting

24
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:55,520
dads all right I guess that's not really better so basically this goes into your

25
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:57,280
case and it acts as like a uh rubber

26
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,200
layer in between the actual fence so so no vibration can be passed to the case

27
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,399
or the cooler or whatever ever else you're using also comes with zman's

28
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:08,440
famous they were the first ones to start doing this if I recall correctly they're

29
00:02:06,039 --> 00:02:13,000
famous inline resistors so you can easily put the fan in quiet mode just by

30
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:16,959
plugging this in and then plugging this into a header let's go and do a quick

31
00:02:14,519 --> 00:02:20,840
sound test with the fan uh before we get too much further ahead of ourselves here

32
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:26,680
so I'm going to go ahead and plug this into one of the headers on this board

33
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:28,280
that is a oh no I'll just do this to

34
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:32,560
make my life easier because that way I'll know that it's a full speed

35
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:36,280
header so we can get some idea of how quiet the fan actually is you know

36
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:42,200
zman's fans are underrated out there to be perfectly honest just in terms of uh

37
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:43,959
of quiet fans almost all of their fans

38
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:48,720
don't sound stupid whereas there's lots of other companies that do make sort of

39
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:53,440
stupid overly loud fans in that wow that's actually outstanding and

40
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:57,200
that's without the low noise adapter it's pushing a decent amount of air I

41
00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:01,280
mean obviously this is very subjective um this is like sort of Linus's gut feel

42
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:04,440
about how do the fan sounds how much air it's pushing uh one of the other great

43
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:09,640
things about zoman fans is they tend to undervolt reasonably well because they

44
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,640
come with an undervolting

45
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:16,760
adapter I wish I could isolate some of the noise from the stupid computer that

46
00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:20,640
is darn near silent there is no motor noise to this fan

47
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,799
whatsoever um bearing in mind though it's using a sleeve bearing they do tend

48
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:28,920
to be very very quiet at the beginning and they can get a little bit louder over time also sleeve bearings aren't

49
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:32,319
great for horizontal installations so you want to T typ use them uh where

50
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:36,760
they're going to be vertical such as on a CPU Cooler whether it's this way or

51
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:43,200
this way or whatever else on a radiator or something along those lines so now uh

52
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:47,120
let's take a break and we will come back

53
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:49,200
with Slick's attempt to beat my 22.2

54
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:53,480
second time okay hold on I got to indicate to uh slick when to uh when to

55
00:03:52,159 --> 00:04:00,680
go for it here I'm just going to reset so remember guys my time is

56
00:03:55,519 --> 00:04:00,680
22.2 ready and

57
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:08,280
go he doesn't stand a

58
00:04:05,239 --> 00:04:12,519
chance look at him he's already way

59
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:16,159
behind does not stand a chance see he

60
00:04:12,519 --> 00:04:16,159
lost the silicone things I can't

61
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:24,440
