00:00:08.120 --> 00:00:13.880
antech has something very very cool here

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

00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:23.359
that I think is absolutely fascinating so they're calling this the antech

00:00:19.880 --> 00:00:25.640
advance true quiet Pro 120 they're

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:29.320
saying it provides maximum cooling with minimal noise which is pretty much the

00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:34.200
same claim that anyone who makes a fan pretty much claims okay but I think they

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

00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:44.079
says unique framed fan blade provides Superior air flow and minimal turbulence

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

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

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

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

00:00:55.719 --> 00:01:03.760
spoil the surprise I am very very impressed by this particular fan because

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

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

00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:18.880
adapter with an RPM monitoring wire we

00:01:13.759 --> 00:01:21.040
have six hm six fan Mount grommet things

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:26.600
that are very robust feeling so you go ahead and you thread that through the

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

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

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

00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:43.000
to mount that to whatever you want with a nice vibration proof Mount So speaking

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

00:01:45.960 --> 00:01:52.880
sorry about that guys Okay so we've got great quality grommets on both sides of

00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:55.759
the fan which means so whether you are mounting it somewhere as an intake or

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

00:02:00.399 --> 00:02:04.680
vibration proof but very low vibration

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

00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:14.239
very little vibration to be transferred from the fan to whatever it happens to

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:16.280
be mounted to in this situation okay

00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:22.959
another cool thing to show you guys here is the fact that the fan is actually

00:02:18.760 --> 00:02:25.280
mounted very very um very very Loosely

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:59.400
uh that's just comes from higher quality materials there's nothing you can really

00:02:57.440 --> 00:03:03.640
uh substitute for that when you are building a fan okay next thing that's

00:03:01.959 --> 00:03:11.440
really cool check this out you guys so I am going to line up the very

00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:15.200
edge of the blades on this uh noname fan

00:03:11.440 --> 00:03:18.319
here hold on give me a second here guys

00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:21.280
and what you are going to see hold on

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

00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:30.200
that the antech fan actually extends

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:33.159
past there with the blade so by cutting

00:03:30.200 --> 00:03:37.799
away the frame antec has cut they've left the square frame here but they

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

00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:49.200
um spec so the the the confines of a 120

00:03:45.799 --> 00:03:51.280
ml spot they have extended the fan

00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:55.040
almost completely to the edge they have also reduced the size of the Hub in the

00:03:53.079 --> 00:04:00.560
middle so what does that give you that gives you more surface area for well not

00:03:58.920 --> 00:04:07.480
really surface area but it gives you more area to push air through versus

00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:10.480
fans that have uh you know see this Gap

00:04:07.480 --> 00:04:13.040
here see this thicker frame see the huge

00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:17.680
Hub there's just not as much space to push air around as there is with

00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:21.160
something like the true quiet Pro 120 the true quiet Pro 120 also includes a

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

00:04:26.080 --> 00:04:31.759
connector now why am I so excited about

00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:36.000
this this because when I plugged it in this thing is so freaking quiet I have

00:04:34.520 --> 00:04:41.199
been wondering for the longest time because it doesn't seem to me that you

00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:43.600
need a motor this big to drive a fan

00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:50.840
which weighs almost nothing at 12200 to 1500 RPM so anch has gone ahead and

00:04:47.080 --> 00:04:53.280
they've put in a not very powerful motor

00:04:50.840 --> 00:04:56.680
in here because powerful Motors are going to be louder okay so they've put a

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

00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:08.560
sted this fan actually has a ton of momentum

00:05:05.320 --> 00:05:12.479
because of the weight that is attached

00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:14.440
to the outside of the blades so this fan

00:05:12.479 --> 00:05:18.240
here well whatever this isn't going to be an exact demo but this fan stops

00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:23.680
spinning fairly quickly because there's not a whole lot of weight to it whereas

00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:28.120
this fan once it gets going oh I'm having trouble holding it without uh

00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:32.360
without touching the fan oops this fan is going to spin for a much longer time

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

00:05:33.919 --> 00:05:41.479
a nice quiet motor to keep it going that doesn't have that grinding that motor

00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:46.440
that running noise so all you hear is the gentle whoosh of air which I have

00:05:44.039 --> 00:05:50.600
tested in real life scenario already and it does work so thank you for checking

00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:54.479
out my unboxing and first look and gushing about the true quiet Pro 120 I'm

00:05:52.919 --> 00:06:00.840
very impressed by this thing very excited it is a boon to enthusiasts of

00:05:58.280 --> 00:06:03.520
Silence everywhere thank you antech for releasing it and don't forget to
