00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,960
welcome back to the workshop today we're going to be investigating radiator fan

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:11,200
configuration we're using a Corsair h100i GTX it's not a graphics card don't

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:16,279
know why it has GTX in it but anyways and some Noctua nff 12s in a bunch of

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:20,640
different configurations so check out the straw pole link down below vote on

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:31,400
which configuration you think is going to win and let's do this

6
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:37,680
Corsair claims unrivaled comfort and Universal compatibility on its new void

7
00:00:35,559 --> 00:00:42,800
surround headset featuring genuine Dolby 7.1 headphone USB adapter click the link

8
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:47,000
in the video description to learn more our first test we're going to have our

9
00:00:44,039 --> 00:00:51,480
nff 12's pushing air up through the radiator just two fans nothing super

10
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:55,800
crazy with push pull configurations or whatever super simple test also in AI

11
00:00:54,359 --> 00:01:01,160
Suite in the motherboard we have them pinned at 60% with all of these tests

12
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:05,760
people go like oh well maybe the fan speed was changing which is why the

13
00:01:02,879 --> 00:01:10,240
thermal paste application didn't change no the fan speed is static in all these

14
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:16,880
tests it's not changing if it changes it might change by like 10 RPM which just

15
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:18,640
doesn't at all matter so to Ida 64 we go

16
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:23,240
let's test out our first configuration so with the two Noctua n2s pushing up

17
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:30,280
through the radiator at an ambient room temperature of 18.1 de the core ran at

18
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,399
38° this is all done in Celsius we've

19
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:37,600
got our good kind of starting number let's move on forward so now the fans

20
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:43,159
are configured to pull air down through the radiator and into the case so

21
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:51,040
currently the air flow is sucking in that way so running id64 again start

22
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:55,360
test and we'll see you in 10 minutes okay so with the Noctua pulling down

23
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,920
through the rad we had a room ambient temperature of

24
00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:01,640
18.3 and yet again a core temperature of

25
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:06,680
38 so that really didn't make any difference having them push up or pull

26
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:12,680
down so moving on we're going to start doing two sets of fans so this would

27
00:02:10,679 --> 00:02:17,280
increase your costs by a fair amount because a lot of coolers including this

28
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:20,800
one will come with two fans but not four so if you want to move up to four your

29
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:26,560
costs are going to go up a whole bunch so for this to be worth it we need the

30
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:31,319
cooling to have a significant Improvement just something to keep in

31
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:34,680
mind all right so now I have two sets of

32
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:36,120
fans both pulling down into the case so

33
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,480
one set pushing down through the radiator another set pulling down

34
00:02:37,959 --> 00:02:45,400
through the radiator we're going to check in 10 minutes and there we go see

35
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:51,000
you later that equaled an ambient temperature of 18.5 de and an actual red

36
00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:58,360
out from the computer temperature for the core of 35° so we saw an improvement

37
00:02:54,599 --> 00:03:01,319
of 3° but you did add two n12 fans which

38
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:05,120
is like a fair amount of cost so just keep that in mind next up we're going to

39
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:10,040
do a pretty stupid configuration we're going to have the fans on top trying to

40
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:13,680
pull up through the radiator and we're going to have the fans on the bottom

41
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:19,879
trying to push down through the radiator so opposite directions super weird just

42
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:25,440
going to see what what it does I guess Workshop yeah okay so short answer don't

43
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:33,360
do that long answer the ambient in the room was 18.7 de and the temperature of

44
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:38,319
the Cor was 48° so not great it

45
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:39,959
increased by like 10° C which is bad so

46
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:45,400
yeah don't have it so that the air is being pushed at like itself cuz that's

47
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:50,000
just a terrible idea and makes no sense next up what we're going to do is have

48
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:53,840
it all the air going up with two layers of fans we're going to have the bottom

49
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:58,599
fans pushing air up through the rad and the top fans pushing pulling air up

50
00:03:55,959 --> 00:04:04,840
through the rat so let's try that one so fairly unsurprisingly with an ambient of

51
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:07,599
18.7 De and a core temperature of 35°

52
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:11,799
it's exactly the same as having the fans point the other direction so right now

53
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:16,040
we have the fans pulling up through the rad for the ones that are on the top and

54
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,919
we have the pants pushing up through the rad for the ones that are on the bottom

55
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:23,840
now we're going to try single layer again but on the top which includes one

56
00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:28,560
of my favorite configurations but we'll do that one last so with the fans on top

57
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:34,160
pushing down through the rad we got a temperature through the computer

58
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:37,919
computer of 39° and an ambient of

59
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:40,039
18.8 which is about 1° higher than when

60
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:45,039
we started with the fans on the bottom in the same type of configuration um but

61
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:49,639
also about 1 degree higher ambient so more or less the exact same result okay

62
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:53,840
and as I expected last and definitely not least pulling up through the rad

63
00:04:52,039 --> 00:04:58,080
this is my favorite configuration and our favorite configuration here at lonus

64
00:04:55,479 --> 00:05:01,160
techtips because of the Dust Management Properties where it will put the Dust on

65
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:05,479
the bottom of the radiator where it's very easy to take away instead of sandwiching it somewhere and making it

66
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:10,240
very annoying cuz you have to go through the fans and all that crap it at an

67
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:14,919
ambient of 18.9 which I would like to point out is almost one full degree

68
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:20,479
higher than when we started reached about 39° on the core which is exactly

69
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:24,160
one degree higher than the ones we were running when it started so it performs

70
00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:29,840
just as well as having the fans below the rad and is better for dust

71
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:32,560
management a win in my opinion so as is

72
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:37,800
seems to be with the workshop the conclusion is it doesn't really matter

73
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,639
that much in terms of actual cooling

74
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:44,080
unless you do something stupid like make them face each other and conflicting

75
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:49,560
airflow paths and all that kind of stuff adding another set of fans can improve

76
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:53,840
your cooling but not by a huge amount and probably not by an amount in my

77
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:58,600
opinion that I would bother getting too more fans for your rad and adding that

78
00:05:56,919 --> 00:06:03,720
much thickness into the top of your case and having to deal with the them and all

79
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,639
that kind of crap and last but not least

80
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:11,039
I would like to reaffirm that in my opinion the best way to put the fans is

81
00:06:08,039 --> 00:06:12,880
pulling up through the rad with the fans

82
00:06:11,039 --> 00:06:17,880
on the top so that the dust will get caked onto the very bottom of the rad

83
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:22,360
instead of having it Go in some other direction where the dust is going to get

84
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:26,520
onto the fans themselves and onto the rad under where the fans are which is an

85
00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:32,000
extremely annoying place to clean it off of crunchy roll is a site created by

86
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:35,400
