so today I'm going to be doing a quick unboxing of a product I got in the mail
these are a couple of NZXT fans and one
of them is a 120 mm and one of them is a 140 mm so the first thing I'm going to
do is the unboxing part fans are really easy to unbox you just open the
box yeah there we go yes excellent okay
so why don't we have a look at what's included as far as accessories go first
you have oh H they're one screw short on
this one you might say they're one screw short of a mounting system uh probably
just an innocent mistake but it should be four screws included for mounting and
then also one Molex to three pin fan
power adapter so let's just kind of okay
there you go so you plug in your Molex there and if you have a bunch of fans
then you can take more than one of these and you can daisy chain them together so
you just kind of plug this into here in
theory yeah there you go and then you can power two fans you can plug in more
fans okay so in terms of specs 120 mm
fans because they're smaller by a substantial margin than 140 mm fans need
to spin faster to move the same amount of air or you can move more air at the
same noise level because the 140 mm fan
can spin slower or spin the same speed and move more air either way okay
they're both nine blade rifle bearing fans so they're long lasting they have
sleev cables and this is something that NZXT has figured out that's so few other
companies do is that using a higher quality sleeving helps you can't see the
color of the cables at all and they use a nice long piece of heat shrink
everyone else seems averse to using more than like 2 cm of heat shrink because
apparently it costs a lot of money okay and then Here We Go the actual specs of
the fans I'm just going to let you read that on your own should you so desire
cameraman let me know when we're focused enough that they can pause it if they
feel like it and there's another one here there you go that's good enough
okay so why don't we just plug these fans in and then we can show you how
loud they are uh more than anything else I guess
we'll just be comparing the two fans against each other so I'm going to plug
this in so that I can uh plug in both
fans there we go so one here A camera
get close so that you can you can hear the difference between fan on and fan
off so you have to get really close to the
fan that's pretty quiet there's no way you're going to be able to hear that
okay and now let's try the next one I
suspect we're going to have a very similar experience given that they're
they're both rated for the same noise
level yep so these are both fairly slow Finning spinning fans but as long as
you've got uh a decent case that
shouldn't be a problem so anyway there you go that's my unboxing of the NZXT
performance fan series
