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

00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:11.080
little while this is going to be the last one this is the fractal design

00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:12.440
silent series fan and it comes in lots

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

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

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

00:00:24.680 --> 00:00:31.599
overly thick fan it rotates at 1,000 RPM

00:00:27.880 --> 00:00:33.120
and the noise is 15 DB air flow is 38.3

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

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:42.800
you read it now excellent okay so there

00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:46.920
and the rubber fan mounts absorb vibrations so let's get this opened up

00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:51.320
and have a look in this particular unboxing assuming I can figure it out

00:00:49.480 --> 00:00:58.039
quickly enough on camera I'm actually going to plug it in and see just how

00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:01.000
loud this silent series fan is so first

00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:05.920
of all let's have a look at the accessor it

00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:10.439
includes four scre four screws and they're black so they'll match your

00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:16.000
black case if you have a black case um okay and then four rubber isolating

00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:18.320
noise isolating fan mounts actually these are kind of a unique design

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

00:01:20.479 --> 00:01:28.759
they actually have like a gap in the middle so that does Something I'm

00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:34.560
assuming okay so then the fan is it's black and white which is the

00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:37.000
theme with a lot of their fans and cases

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:42.200
and power supplies it has a sleeved connector which is always nice to see I

00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:46.200
hate those red yellow and black connectors it's just it looks really

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

00:01:48.119 --> 00:01:54.159
bothered to sleeve the cables I mean that's just awful not very nice at all

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

00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:02.320
side here step over all of the mess I'm

00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:07.240
actually moving soon so it's everything's kind of all over the place

00:02:04.600 --> 00:02:14.519
at the moment so let's unplug the radiator fan oops and then plug in the

00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:16.440
ow the fan bit me and let's plug in this

00:02:14.519 --> 00:02:21.560
one so do you want to come a little bit closer camera person see if we

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

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:29.480
camera close so that you can actually hear it with the camera in theory even

00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:34.519
like way closer than that there you go so basically you can't hear it because

00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:38.959
the fans in this computer are actually quite a bit louder than this one y so

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

00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:47.360
the unboxing and first look at the fractal design silent 120 mm fan
