1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:05,879
so I've unboxed and had a look at a lot of fractal design products over the last

2
00:00:03,879 --> 00:00:11,080
little while this is going to be the last one this is the fractal design

3
00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:12,440
silent series fan and it comes in lots

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:17,160
of different sizes but we're looking at the 120 mm one since that's bound to be

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:21,600
the most popular it is rated at 1,000 RPM 15 DB and actually there's a bunch

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:27,880
of other specs on the back so it's a 120x 120x 25 mm that means it's not an

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:31,599
overly thick fan it rotates at 1,000 RPM

8
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:33,120
and the noise is 15 DB air flow is 38.3

9
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:41,120
okay why don't you actually just read it can you read that no zoom in more can

10
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:42,800
you read it now excellent okay so there

11
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:46,920
and the rubber fan mounts absorb vibrations so let's get this opened up

12
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:51,320
and have a look in this particular unboxing assuming I can figure it out

13
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:58,039
quickly enough on camera I'm actually going to plug it in and see just how

14
00:00:54,719 --> 00:01:01,000
loud this silent series fan is so first

15
00:00:58,039 --> 00:01:05,920
of all let's have a look at the accessor it

16
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:10,439
includes four scre four screws and they're black so they'll match your

17
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:16,000
black case if you have a black case um okay and then four rubber isolating

18
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,320
noise isolating fan mounts actually these are kind of a unique design

19
00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:22,000
they're a little bit different from ones I've seen in the past so you see that

20
00:01:20,479 --> 00:01:28,759
they actually have like a gap in the middle so that does Something I'm

21
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:34,560
assuming okay so then the fan is it's black and white which is the

22
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:37,000
theme with a lot of their fans and cases

23
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:42,200
and power supplies it has a sleeved connector which is always nice to see I

24
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:46,200
hate those red yellow and black connectors it's just it looks really

25
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,560
messy I mean here look at this this is a computer that I've worked on and haven't

26
00:01:48,119 --> 00:01:54,159
bothered to sleeve the cables I mean that's just awful not very nice at all

27
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,320
so why don't we plug this in and I'm just going to kind of creep around the

28
00:01:55,799 --> 00:02:02,320
side here step over all of the mess I'm

29
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:07,240
actually moving soon so it's everything's kind of all over the place

30
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:14,519
at the moment so let's unplug the radiator fan oops and then plug in the

31
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:16,440
ow the fan bit me and let's plug in this

32
00:02:14,519 --> 00:02:21,560
one so do you want to come a little bit closer camera person see if we

33
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:24,720
can oh that's actually pretty quiet you're not going to you want to get the

34
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:29,480
camera close so that you can actually hear it with the camera in theory even

35
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:34,519
like way closer than that there you go so basically you can't hear it because

36
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,959
the fans in this computer are actually quite a bit louder than this one y so

37
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,800
it's very silent I'm not sure it moves a whole lot of air but there you go that's

38
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:47,360
the unboxing and first look at the fractal design silent 120 mm fan
