00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:12.880
today we'll be unboxing the Zalman ZM F4

00:00:10.719 --> 00:00:20.160
ultra quiet fan with antivibration silicone pins included and I am actually

00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:23.119
go oh okay okay we have two of these so

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

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

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

00:00:34.440 --> 00:00:40.800
um and then we're going to see who can

00:00:37.879 --> 00:00:44.200
actually unbox a fan the fastest so we're going to use the iPhone timer so

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

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

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

00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:01.920
start okay

00:01:02.239 --> 00:01:08.680
oh this is harder than it look okay got to get mying

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

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

00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:23.720
fam okay there it is okay dime and Slick turned off the camera

00:01:21.960 --> 00:01:29.600
when I said dime as opposed to just turning off the stopwatch so what was my

00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:31.600
time slick my time was 22.2 seconds so

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

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

00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:42.479
uses 120 mm holes very neat also you got

00:01:40.479 --> 00:01:47.439
these silicone they call them pins but what I really think they mean is like

00:01:44.399 --> 00:01:49.439
fan mounting

00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:55.520
dads all right I guess that's not really better so basically this goes into your

00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:57.280
case and it acts as like a uh rubber

00:01:55.520 --> 00:02:00.200
layer in between the actual fence so so no vibration can be passed to the case

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:04.399
or the cooler or whatever ever else you're using also comes with zman's

00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:08.440
famous they were the first ones to start doing this if I recall correctly they're

00:02:06.039 --> 00:02:13.000
famous inline resistors so you can easily put the fan in quiet mode just by

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

00:02:14.519 --> 00:02:20.840
sound test with the fan uh before we get too much further ahead of ourselves here

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

00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:28.280
that is a oh no I'll just do this to

00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:32.560
make my life easier because that way I'll know that it's a full speed

00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:36.280
header so we can get some idea of how quiet the fan actually is you know

00:02:33.720 --> 00:02:42.200
zman's fans are underrated out there to be perfectly honest just in terms of uh

00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.959
of quiet fans almost all of their fans

00:02:42.200 --> 00:02:48.720
don't sound stupid whereas there's lots of other companies that do make sort of

00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:53.440
stupid overly loud fans in that wow that's actually outstanding and

00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:57.200
that's without the low noise adapter it's pushing a decent amount of air I

00:02:54.680 --> 00:03:01.280
mean obviously this is very subjective um this is like sort of Linus's gut feel

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

00:03:03.040 --> 00:03:09.640
things about zoman fans is they tend to undervolt reasonably well because they

00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.640
come with an undervolting

00:03:10.440 --> 00:03:16.760
adapter I wish I could isolate some of the noise from the stupid computer that

00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:20.640
is darn near silent there is no motor noise to this fan

00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:23.799
whatsoever um bearing in mind though it's using a sleeve bearing they do tend

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

00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:32.319
great for horizontal installations so you want to T typ use them uh where

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

00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:43.200
this way or whatever else on a radiator or something along those lines so now uh

00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:47.120
let's take a break and we will come back

00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:49.200
with Slick's attempt to beat my 22.2

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

00:03:52.159 --> 00:04:00.680
go for it here I'm just going to reset so remember guys my time is

00:03:55.519 --> 00:04:00.680
22.2 ready and

00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:08.280
go he doesn't stand a

00:04:05.239 --> 00:04:12.519
chance look at him he's already way

00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:16.159
behind does not stand a chance see he

00:04:12.519 --> 00:04:16.159
lost the silicone things I can't

00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:24.440
see that's only three oh I just got beat well thank you
