welcome to my unboxing of the scythe gentle typhoon series of fans so these
are sort of more commonly known as scythe gts and they are very
very very well regarded on the interwebs
so i am led to believe okay hyper cooling nano vibration
comfortable tone i think what they're trying to say is that they cool really
well they don't vibrate very much and they
are not loud okay so the noise that they make is is
of a of a tonality that's not very disruptive to your enjoyment of using
your computer they're available in a variety of different rpms so we've got a
couple here today we've got the 1850 as well as the 1450 depending on what
you're trying to do so these are rated for different uh airflow they're rated
for different decibels okay they both have long life double ball bearing one
hundred thousand hour rated bearings
okay moving around to the back overall dimension okay let's see if
there's anything interesting here um really
they don't have a pressure rating that's
weird because one of the things okay held on characteristics
achieves high airflow volume and low noise with the newly designed impeller
enabling silent cooling of the latest devices which run very hot impending so
that means this and this design is like more new and
more better and more different okay the gentle typhoon has a different type of
tone the fan propeller is designed to reduce the disturbing frequency fan
noise to human ears so reducing the frequency means it's more of a low hum
instead of a high pitched wine the large-scale motor and motor support
mechanism of the gentle typhoon uses a double vibration reduction structure
okay the new support mechanism uses coil dampers to greatly reduce vibration
cotton tendon okay so one of the things that is uh is always sort of you know
weird to me is high-end fans that have a very large hub but you can see why
scythe opted to do that because the hub effectively reduces the amount of
cooling surface that you have for the fan but if
that was what they had to do to reduce the vibration and build a very high quality bearing and motor and support
structure then i guess that's what they had to do uses a nydex servo okay
okay i think that's pretty much all there is to say fairly bare bones
accessory package so you've got a four pin
molex to three pin molex adapter you've got uh
four screws and that is pretty much it so we will be using these to compare
against Corsair's brand new static pressure sp 120 fans on a Corsair
h-100 in a real system on the ncix tech tips channel to find out once and for
all have Corsair's new fans dethroned
what was considered to be the king of pressure fans because that is what
gentle typhoons are really well known for on the forums is use on heatsinks as
well as use in scenarios that require high static
pressure so the design of the blades allows it to effectively push air
through fins of radiators and heat sinks restrictive case intakes whatever the
case may be these can push air through them as opposed to only being optimized
for free-flowing scenarios so we're going to find out which one does better
