sizes but we're looking at the 120 mm one since that's bound to be the most popular it is rated at 1,000 RPM 15 DB and actually there's a bunch of other specs on the back so it's a 120x 120x 25 mm that means it's not an overly thick fan it rotates at 1,000 RPM and the noise is 15 DB air flow is 38.3 okay why don't you actually just read it can you read that no zoom in more can you read it now excellent okay so there and the rubber fan mounts absorb vibrations so let's get this opened up and have a look in this particular unboxing assuming I can figure it out quickly enough on camera I'm actually going to plug it in and see just how loud this silent series fan is so first of all let's have a look at the accessor it includes four scre four screws and they're black so they'll match your black case if you have a black case um okay and then four rubber isolating noise isolating fan mounts actually these are kind of a unique design they're a little bit different from ones I've seen in the past so you see that they actually have like a gap in the middle so that does Something I'm assuming okay so then the fan is it's black and white which is the theme with a lot of their fans and cases and power supplies it has a sleeved connector which is always nice to see I hate those red yellow and black connectors it's just it looks really messy I mean here look at this this is a computer that I've worked on and haven't bothered to sleeve the cables I mean that's just awful not very nice at all so why don't we plug this in and I'm just going to kind of creep around the side here step over all of the mess I'm actually moving soon so it's everything's kind of all over the place at the moment so let's unplug the radiator fan oops and then plug in the ow the fan bit me and let's plug in this one so do you want to come a little bit closer camera person see if we can oh that's actually pretty quiet you're not going to you want to get the camera close so that you can actually hear it with the camera in theory even like way closer than that there you go so basically you can't hear it because the fans in this computer are actually quite a bit louder than this one y so it's very silent I'm not sure it moves a whole lot of air but there you go that's the unboxing and first look at the fractal design silent 120 mm fan"}
