1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,879
my friends Noctua has done it they have

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,920
finally given us what we asked for

3
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:13,240
higher RPM and therefore higher performance fans with the same

4
00:00:10,679 --> 00:00:20,720
outstanding KN to a technology warranty and build quality and in Black instead

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,720
of poop brown and vomit

6
00:00:25,679 --> 00:00:32,439
tan a global leader in Tech recruiting is celebrating Geek Pride by giving

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,920
bring away 10 amazing Tech prizes for more info visit the modus Facebook page

8
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:40,760
or modus.com but if it were as simple as wow they

9
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:44,120
released those fans lonus really likes in a different

10
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:48,399
color you wouldn't be getting a full video about it you'd be getting a tweet

11
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:54,480
or something no these black fans are part of noa's allnew industrial PPC or

12
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:58,039
protected performance cooling lineup they feature similar designs to my

13
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:02,079
favorite two models from their traditional retail lineup but they have

14
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:07,159
some upgrades that allow them to deliver even better performance and Longevity so

15
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:13,200
first up the construction material has been upgraded from polybutylene talate

16
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:17,960
to some kind of fiberglass reinforced polyamide this allows the structural

17
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:23,079
components of the fan anyway to survive temperatures of up to 140° C as if any

18
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:26,720
other part of a PC would still be working at that point so maybe not that

19
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:31,479
interesting but what is interesting about it is that Noctua sees the

20
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:36,159
application for for these fans in other Industries including Automotive

21
00:01:33,399 --> 00:01:40,759
Aeronautics and Home Appliances as well so who knows maybe that will come in

22
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:43,360
handy next we get a supertastic

23
00:01:40,759 --> 00:01:48,079
three-phase motor design that unlike traditional fan motors provides nearly

24
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:52,000
continuous power to the blade assembly rather than torquing it hard than

25
00:01:50,119 --> 00:01:56,640
letting it rely on its own momentum to get another push this improves

26
00:01:53,960 --> 00:02:00,799
smoothness and reduces vibration and power consumption at the same time next

27
00:01:59,479 --> 00:02:06,560
we get ip52 dust and water resistance or IP67

28
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:12,120
dust and waterproofness depending on which skew

29
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,480
you go for with the badass IP67 ones

30
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:20,680
being obviously more expensive this makes the new PPC fans ideal for use and

31
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:23,560
what noctu is describing as challenging

32
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:28,000
conditions although I mean you know yeah I guess being rained on is a condition

33
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:33,239
that I'd consider to be challenging for a normal fan or maybe even more than

34
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:37,239
challenging like ridiculous the last change oh yeah more on that last bit

35
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:42,560
later the last change is the only one that I don't much care for Noctua has

36
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:48,800
increased the running speeds from 1500 RPM to 2,000 or even 3,000 RPM depending

37
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:53,360
on the skew compared to the standard operating speed of, 1500 RPM for the

38
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:57,959
regular retail models this means that with regular lowspeed adapters which by

39
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,400
the way are not included in the box but you can buy them your own multi packs of

40
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:05,319
the along with Y cables extensions and anti- vibration mounts and all that

41
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:09,560
stuff um that means that it's harder to reach a speed that I find comfortable

42
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:14,239
with just one of those normal adapters thank goodness for pwm control though I

43
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:18,360
was able to get these down to a level that I found satisfying so thumbs up for

44
00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:23,480
that and it does all of this while maintaining the 150,000 hour meantime

45
00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:29,319
between failure and six-year warranty of the regular fans now I mentioned that

46
00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:34,319
these were my favorite fan models but I didn't really mention why much fuss gets

47
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,480
made about airflow versus pressure optimized fan designs and putting the

48
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:42,480
right fans in the right places but my problem with that is that I might change

49
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:48,239
my configuration at some point so I'd like to have whatever is most versatile

50
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:54,519
a pressure optimized design like the NF F12 will perform quite well in an open

51
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:56,360
air situation and rock the house in a

52
00:03:54,519 --> 00:04:00,519
restrictive situation like if it's up against a heat sink radiator or

53
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:05,120
restrictive fan Grill that's why I prefer pressure optimized fans and I

54
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:10,000
prefer noct toas over other ones because they just plain old kick ass I don't

55
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:14,120
even understand most of the technology behind them but they're wellb built

56
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:17,919
perform like nobody's business undervolt gracefully or at least lower their speed

57
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:22,440
gracefully and aside from looking like rubbish the normal ones anyway are the

58
00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:26,120
best fans on the market I guess I should mention why I prefer the A14 it's cuz it

59
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:30,320
has a square frame so it's much better for radiator mounting it a little bit

60
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:36,280
again more versatile and easier to find spots for it but that's why these are so

61
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,479
exciting subjectively using them they are obviously louder meant for

62
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:44,320
industrial environments but for all the other benefits I will deal with the

63
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:49,360
slight inconvenience of needing to rejigger my fan speed controller to

64
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:53,680
reach my target sub 1000 RPM running speeds and frankly most people aren't

65
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:56,880
the kinds of quiet freaks that I am so y'all are likely to even be bothered by

66
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:02,360
this and may even consider it to be a big advantage that they are able to run

67
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:09,360
at higher RPMs now I said I'd elaborate on the water and dust resistance so here

68
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:10,560
we go I grabbed one of the IP67 2000 RPM

69
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:15,800
models that knocked to a ship me and decided it was time for it to go for a

70
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:18,199
swim as a control I grabbed an old NFP

71
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:22,600
12 and put it in the same bucket I left my camera running to see how long each

72
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:26,479
of the fans would survive underwater now one thing that was a

73
00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:30,600
little bit confusing at first was the way that the older fan simply spun

74
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:36,479
slower due to the water resistance while the industrial PPC fan would start and

75
00:05:33,479 --> 00:05:38,479
stop to protect itself from damage this

76
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:41,280
submerged scenario is unlikely to ever actually occur and if it did the rest of

77
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:45,800
whatever the fans attached to would pretty much be dead anyway but the good

78
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:50,039
news is that it brought our attention to a cool feature that'll be great in the

79
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:54,080
real world as well like if a wire gets caught in a fan or something like that

80
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:57,800
your fan is more likely to protect itself very cool anyway back to the

81
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:02,600
water long story short the water resistant fan lived the other one didn't

82
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,680
our hypothesis that Noctua doesn't just randomly make crap up when they're doing

83
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:10,199
their marketing materials has been confirmed once again now you may have

84
00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:14,960
noticed that I've been calling this fan black all this time but it actually

85
00:06:12,039 --> 00:06:18,840
still has brown accents and normally this is the point where I'd be like yeah

86
00:06:16,479 --> 00:06:23,240
whatever Brown fan Master race anyway but actually that's not going to happen

87
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:28,560
because I saved one more surprise for you guys at the end here even the little

88
00:06:25,479 --> 00:06:31,160
brown accent anti vibration mounts can

89
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:37,000
be taken off so you're left with a completely clean looking black fan

90
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:41,400
Ballin just be ready to pay through the nose for these bad boys because they are

91
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:46,080
extremely expensive as usual speaking of expensive
