this will be a relatively quick unboxing I don't know if I've mentioned this on
my video blog before but I'm a big fan of GED wi fans I really really like them
they undervolt extremely well which is to say they don't tick or hum when you
turn down the voltage to get them to quiet down and they're also uh
reasonably quiet when they are running at full speed so um this is a new
updated version of the GED Wing this is the wing PL series which means that it
is a pwm fan with an LED so it has all
kinds of cool features so pwm control and LED light uh Nano flux bearing so
what pwm control means is that your uh lights won't get more Dim when you uh
when you lower the voltage or rather when you lower the speed if you use pwm
control you can still use voltage control on a pwm fan it's just I mean
you got the feature there you might as well use it so here's some UV reactive
fan Mount all right so I'll show you those under UV light in just a moment
and then here is the fan with the U reactive blades as well as white LEDs
mounted in the housing so you can see where the LEDs are mounted behind the
fan so I'm just going to take you over into the other room here where I have my
computer set up with uh there's a cat yeah that's right you move where I have
my computer set up with UV lights inside it so you can see I got my uh my wing 90
mm as well as my wing 120 mm fans up in
the top there those are not spinning for a reason it's my fan control that turned
them off so there's the UV reactive uh
fan mounts so that would be kind of a neat uh neat way to mount these instead
of the black ones that I have in there now maybe I should try and get my hands
on some blue ones of these those are nice and then here is the uh the UV
reactive green fan so once I put it in there it glows that's why I have these
purple lights for those of you who don't know how UV works and no uh regular
cathode lights like white blue red they will not make stuff glow like this you
have to use UV in order to get this effect which I personally really like
but it's not for everyone so hold on give me two seconds I'm just going to
adjust my camera so hopefully I can kind of point it at what I'm doing
here and I just want to plug this fan into my motherboard so that I can uh
show you guys what it looks like with the LEDs lit and I have no idea what
that's going to look like so we're all going to find out together because
that's the beauty of this channel unscripted uncens
unprofessional sometimes but what are you going to do so there you have it
that is the uh White LEDs on the fan so
basically it's kind of like uh the the glow is very similar to what you get
from the UV but you can see now that UV
light is completely unnecessary so for
someone like me who's using UV in their rig for a more subtle lighting effect uh
versus bright LEDs I would probably stick with the regular Wing series fans
you can see how right that makes the inside and it's really going to diminish
the UV effect on um on anything else
because one of the disadvantages of UV is that as soon as you introduce any
other light sources you're going to really really cut down on that glowing
effect so you can see it glows pretty freely by itself but you go ahead and
you put like a bright light source next to it and uh that glow is going to be
really reduced I don't know how well you guys can see this but there's only so
much I can do so thank you for checking out my unboxing
and first impressions of the GED Wing
