1
00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:13,880
antech has something very very cool here

2
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:17,920
today I know it's just a fan but there's actually a lot of innovation in this fan

3
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:23,359
that I think is absolutely fascinating so they're calling this the antech

4
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:25,640
advance true quiet Pro 120 they're

5
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:29,320
saying it provides maximum cooling with minimal noise which is pretty much the

6
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:34,200
same claim that anyone who makes a fan pretty much claims okay but I think they

7
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:40,160
have something to back it up here this is a 600/1 1200 RPM fan on the back it

8
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:44,079
says unique framed fan blade provides Superior air flow and minimal turbulence

9
00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:47,559
and I'll show you guys why that is and that's pretty much it that's it for the

10
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,559
packaging so let's open it up and let's have a look at this fan now I've already

11
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:54,440
had one of these open I don't know if it was this one or if it was the other one

12
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:58,160
but I've already had one of them open and I'm going to tell you guys I'll

13
00:00:55,719 --> 00:01:03,760
spoil the surprise I am very very impressed by this particular fan because

14
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:07,360
it does a whole lot of things right and not a whole lot wrong so first thing

15
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:13,759
let's have a look at the accessories so we've got a Molex four pin to three pin

16
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:18,880
adapter with an RPM monitoring wire we

17
00:01:13,759 --> 00:01:21,040
have six hm six fan Mount grommet things

18
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:26,600
that are very robust feeling so you go ahead and you thread that through the

19
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:30,680
fan and then whatever you happen to want to mount it to let's go ahead and put

20
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:34,680
that there you you can pull that through it's not going to break how many of you

21
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:37,720
guys have had these break on you before and there you go you're going to be able

22
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:43,000
to mount that to whatever you want with a nice vibration proof Mount So speaking

23
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:47,719
of vibration proof let's get to the fan itself on both sides of the fan it has

24
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:52,880
sorry about that guys Okay so we've got great quality grommets on both sides of

25
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,759
the fan which means so whether you are mounting it somewhere as an intake or

26
00:01:54,759 --> 00:02:03,399
whether you're mounting it to the back of your case as an exhaust you're going to have a nice vibration I won't say

27
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:04,680
vibration proof but very low vibration

28
00:02:03,399 --> 00:02:09,239
Mount I mean can you guys see how much mush there is in there I'm expecting

29
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:14,239
very little vibration to be transferred from the fan to whatever it happens to

30
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,280
be mounted to in this situation okay

31
00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:22,959
another cool thing to show you guys here is the fact that the fan is actually

32
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:25,280
mounted very very um very very Loosely

33
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:28,959
but the frame itself in spite of being so small is still very solid so you can

34
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:34,560
actually take here give me give me two seconds I'll back just to look at the fan for a second I'll be back I'm going

35
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:40,120
to show you guys what I would consider to be a low quality fan so this one this

36
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:42,519
guy right here so check out how much Flex I'm going to try and apply about

37
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:47,720
the same amount of force so check out how much Flex there is in the frame can you see that at all can you see the flex

38
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:51,599
okay so now I'm going to show you guys this antech fan in spite of its small

39
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:55,720
frame you can see it's probably got about the same amount of flex to it and

40
00:02:54,159 --> 00:02:59,400
uh that's just comes from higher quality materials there's nothing you can really

41
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:03,640
uh substitute for that when you are building a fan okay next thing that's

42
00:03:01,959 --> 00:03:11,440
really cool check this out you guys so I am going to line up the very

43
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:15,200
edge of the blades on this uh noname fan

44
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:18,319
here hold on give me a second here guys

45
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:21,280
and what you are going to see hold on

46
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:26,560
blades blades are not quite lined up there we go what you're going to see is

47
00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:30,200
that the antech fan actually extends

48
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:33,159
past there with the blade so by cutting

49
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:37,799
away the frame antec has cut they've left the square frame here but they

50
00:03:35,239 --> 00:03:45,799
actually have blades that go almost all the way out to the edge of a 120 mm fan

51
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:49,200
um spec so the the the confines of a 120

52
00:03:45,799 --> 00:03:51,280
ml spot they have extended the fan

53
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:55,040
almost completely to the edge they have also reduced the size of the Hub in the

54
00:03:53,079 --> 00:04:00,560
middle so what does that give you that gives you more surface area for well not

55
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:07,480
really surface area but it gives you more area to push air through versus

56
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:10,480
fans that have uh you know see this Gap

57
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:13,040
here see this thicker frame see the huge

58
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:17,680
Hub there's just not as much space to push air around as there is with

59
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:21,160
something like the true quiet Pro 120 the true quiet Pro 120 also includes a

60
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:29,560
low and a high setting on a little switch here that's pretty typical of antech and then a sleeved three pin

61
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:31,759
connector now why am I so excited about

62
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:36,000
this this because when I plugged it in this thing is so freaking quiet I have

63
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:41,199
been wondering for the longest time because it doesn't seem to me that you

64
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:43,600
need a motor this big to drive a fan

65
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:50,840
which weighs almost nothing at 12200 to 1500 RPM so anch has gone ahead and

66
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:53,280
they've put in a not very powerful motor

67
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:56,680
in here because powerful Motors are going to be louder okay so they've put a

68
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:00,199
not very powerful motor in here that is capable of starting the fan so once it's

69
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:08,560
sted this fan actually has a ton of momentum

70
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:12,479
because of the weight that is attached

71
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:14,440
to the outside of the blades so this fan

72
00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:18,240
here well whatever this isn't going to be an exact demo but this fan stops

73
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:23,680
spinning fairly quickly because there's not a whole lot of weight to it whereas

74
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:28,120
this fan once it gets going oh I'm having trouble holding it without uh

75
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:32,360
without touching the fan oops this fan is going to spin for a much longer time

76
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:36,400
and so it doesn't take much force to keep it spinning which means you can use

77
00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:41,479
a nice quiet motor to keep it going that doesn't have that grinding that motor

78
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:46,440
that running noise so all you hear is the gentle whoosh of air which I have

79
00:05:44,039 --> 00:05:50,600
tested in real life scenario already and it does work so thank you for checking

80
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:54,479
out my unboxing and first look and gushing about the true quiet Pro 120 I'm

81
00:05:52,919 --> 00:06:00,840
very impressed by this thing very excited it is a boon to enthusiasts of

82
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:03,520
Silence everywhere thank you antech for releasing it and don't forget to
