00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.879
my friends Noctua has done it they have

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:08.920
finally given us what we asked for

00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:13.240
higher RPM and therefore higher performance fans with the same

00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:20.720
outstanding KN to a technology warranty and build quality and in Black instead

00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:20.720
of poop brown and vomit

00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:32.439
tan a global leader in Tech recruiting is celebrating Geek Pride by giving

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.920
bring away 10 amazing Tech prizes for more info visit the modus Facebook page

00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:40.760
or modus.com but if it were as simple as wow they

00:00:38.680 --> 00:00:44.120
released those fans lonus really likes in a different

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

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:54.480
or something no these black fans are part of noa's allnew industrial PPC or

00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:58.039
protected performance cooling lineup they feature similar designs to my

00:00:56.760 --> 00:01:02.079
favorite two models from their traditional retail lineup but they have

00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:07.159
some upgrades that allow them to deliver even better performance and Longevity so

00:01:05.199 --> 00:01:13.200
first up the construction material has been upgraded from polybutylene talate

00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:17.960
to some kind of fiberglass reinforced polyamide this allows the structural

00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:23.079
components of the fan anyway to survive temperatures of up to 140° C as if any

00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:26.720
other part of a PC would still be working at that point so maybe not that

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:31.479
interesting but what is interesting about it is that Noctua sees the

00:01:29.119 --> 00:01:36.159
application for for these fans in other Industries including Automotive

00:01:33.399 --> 00:01:40.759
Aeronautics and Home Appliances as well so who knows maybe that will come in

00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:43.360
handy next we get a supertastic

00:01:40.759 --> 00:01:48.079
three-phase motor design that unlike traditional fan motors provides nearly

00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:52.000
continuous power to the blade assembly rather than torquing it hard than

00:01:50.119 --> 00:01:56.640
letting it rely on its own momentum to get another push this improves

00:01:53.960 --> 00:02:00.799
smoothness and reduces vibration and power consumption at the same time next

00:01:59.479 --> 00:02:06.560
we get ip52 dust and water resistance or IP67

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:12.120
dust and waterproofness depending on which skew

00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:14.480
you go for with the badass IP67 ones

00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:20.680
being obviously more expensive this makes the new PPC fans ideal for use and

00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:23.560
what noctu is describing as challenging

00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:28.000
conditions although I mean you know yeah I guess being rained on is a condition

00:02:26.200 --> 00:02:33.239
that I'd consider to be challenging for a normal fan or maybe even more than

00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:37.239
challenging like ridiculous the last change oh yeah more on that last bit

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

00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:48.800
increased the running speeds from 1500 RPM to 2,000 or even 3,000 RPM depending

00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:53.360
on the skew compared to the standard operating speed of, 1500 RPM for the

00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:57.959
regular retail models this means that with regular lowspeed adapters which by

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

00:02:59.640 --> 00:03:05.319
the along with Y cables extensions and anti- vibration mounts and all that

00:03:02.760 --> 00:03:09.560
stuff um that means that it's harder to reach a speed that I find comfortable

00:03:07.640 --> 00:03:14.239
with just one of those normal adapters thank goodness for pwm control though I

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

00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:23.480
that and it does all of this while maintaining the 150,000 hour meantime

00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:29.319
between failure and six-year warranty of the regular fans now I mentioned that

00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:34.319
these were my favorite fan models but I didn't really mention why much fuss gets

00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:38.480
made about airflow versus pressure optimized fan designs and putting the

00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:42.480
right fans in the right places but my problem with that is that I might change

00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:48.239
my configuration at some point so I'd like to have whatever is most versatile

00:03:45.760 --> 00:03:54.519
a pressure optimized design like the NF F12 will perform quite well in an open

00:03:51.519 --> 00:03:56.360
air situation and rock the house in a

00:03:54.519 --> 00:04:00.519
restrictive situation like if it's up against a heat sink radiator or

00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:05.120
restrictive fan Grill that's why I prefer pressure optimized fans and I

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:10.000
prefer noct toas over other ones because they just plain old kick ass I don't

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:14.120
even understand most of the technology behind them but they're wellb built

00:04:11.760 --> 00:04:17.919
perform like nobody's business undervolt gracefully or at least lower their speed

00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:22.440
gracefully and aside from looking like rubbish the normal ones anyway are the

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

00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:30.320
has a square frame so it's much better for radiator mounting it a little bit

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

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:40.479
exciting subjectively using them they are obviously louder meant for

00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:44.320
industrial environments but for all the other benefits I will deal with the

00:04:42.440 --> 00:04:49.360
slight inconvenience of needing to rejigger my fan speed controller to

00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:53.680
reach my target sub 1000 RPM running speeds and frankly most people aren't

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

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

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

00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:10.560
we go I grabbed one of the IP67 2000 RPM

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

00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:18.199
swim as a control I grabbed an old NFP

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

00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:26.479
of the fans would survive underwater now one thing that was a

00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:30.600
little bit confusing at first was the way that the older fan simply spun

00:05:28.400 --> 00:05:36.479
slower due to the water resistance while the industrial PPC fan would start and

00:05:33.479 --> 00:05:38.479
stop to protect itself from damage this

00:05:36.479 --> 00:05:41.280
submerged scenario is unlikely to ever actually occur and if it did the rest of

00:05:39.880 --> 00:05:45.800
whatever the fans attached to would pretty much be dead anyway but the good

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

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

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:57.800
your fan is more likely to protect itself very cool anyway back to the

00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:02.600
water long story short the water resistant fan lived the other one didn't

00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:05.680
our hypothesis that Noctua doesn't just randomly make crap up when they're doing

00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:10.199
their marketing materials has been confirmed once again now you may have

00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:14.960
noticed that I've been calling this fan black all this time but it actually

00:06:12.039 --> 00:06:18.840
still has brown accents and normally this is the point where I'd be like yeah

00:06:16.479 --> 00:06:23.240
whatever Brown fan Master race anyway but actually that's not going to happen

00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:28.560
because I saved one more surprise for you guys at the end here even the little

00:06:25.479 --> 00:06:31.160
brown accent anti vibration mounts can

00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:37.000
be taken off so you're left with a completely clean looking black fan

00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:41.400
Ballin just be ready to pay through the nose for these bad boys because they are

00:06:39.440 --> 00:06:46.080
extremely expensive as usual speaking of expensive
