Another price/performance king from Arctic, it seems (just like with their CPU coolers). I can't wait until Noctua release their next-gen 140mm fan, it's supposed to come out in Q2 2024, so, pretty soon, hopefully you're going to test that. It will probably set some benchmarks, but at a high price as usual.

If noise is not an issue the noctua ippc fans might provide a little bit more performance, but will be louder. It is not LCP.

Awesome video, very informative! It would be cool if you tested out some stock fans that come with cases as it would be a nice way of showing where most people "start" and then they can compare stock to whatever they want to upgrade to. For example, how are the Fractal Design "Aspect 14 pwm" compared to others in your list.

@benpero6114 2 ай бұрын

hi HB i was comparing your fans with EKWB ones and in your charts its not correct in the comparison of pmax with ekwb compared to your review of ekwb loop fan. could u check your data and confirm and rectifiy if it was not correct ? i had 18 loop ekwb fans and i bought arctic ones to change them for the incredible DB ratio but now in my case it seems almost the same. and i noticed i cant go above 2600rpm on a 60mm thick radiator in push pull

@HardwareBusters 2 ай бұрын

All data is correct, we re-test several fans during reviews, new samples, updating at the same time all of our graphs.

@SayaX 3 ай бұрын

Question regarding Radiator performance: In general 120mm Fans provide more static pressure than their 140mm counterpart when comparing the same noise normalized charts (40db, 30db, 20db etc.) side by side, for example the Arctic P12 max vs P14 max With that in mind, will the 140mm Fan on a 420 Rad still outperform the 120mm Fan on a 360 Rad because of the larger surface area?

@HardwareBusters 3 ай бұрын

Most likely yes.

I bought 20+ Arctic p12 and p14 from a miner a few years ago for very cheap and still using them in my main PC as case fans, also used them in other builds and very happy with them. Got a few Noctua and bequet fans that cost me 3-4 times more and don't perform that much better. Why are you not testing any Noctua fans? Supposedly 1 of the best fan makers, would love to see your results on them, as mentioned before I bought a few Noctua fans, the most expensive ones are their industrial 3000RPM 12" and 14" fans for 30$ each and IMO they're not worth the 30$ as they get extremely loud over 2000RPM sounding like server fans.

@HardwareBusters 3 ай бұрын

I have tested Noctua fans. You can check either the Cybenetics fan database or hwbusters. I list their results in various reviews.

Is it worth upgrading over normal P14's as a case fan? I got three P14's in 4000D Airflow, and I am seriosuly considering switching to Max version

Max version is stronger, if you need more airflow and you don't care so much about noise

@@HardwareBusters I wouldn't run them at high speeds, I was mainly thinking I'd get slightly more performance at below 800 RPM's, which is where I'd be happy with 0 noise (no curve, flat RPM)

It would be good if he included in the testing one AIO on which he would test all types of vents, so it is possible to see the real world results

@HardwareBusters 3 ай бұрын

Longwin does provide real word results. AIOs and other stuff use reviewers who don't own the proper equipment to conduct fan reviews. Say I select one or five or ten AIOs. Still this will be 1% of the whole market. The longwin provides ALL kinds of conditions! There is NO need to use AIO or other stuff when you have a Longwin. This is its purpose and this is why it costs 60K.

@phantomzagreb 3 ай бұрын

Ok, but 99% of people don't know how to read those results because they are too professional, most people like those mainstream testings thats the fact. It will nothing cost you to include for example Arctic LF III 240mm and 280mm AIOs for testings. PS. noise from vents are very differnt on model to model if you attach them to AIO

@@phantomzagreb No time unfortunately to add more testing, especially from the time I know it doesn't matter. It is better to do more vids and educate people about fans rather than doing useless testing, right?

@qlum 3 ай бұрын

@@HardwareBusters The thing is, static pressure and airflow on their own are somewhat hard to translate to a real world scenario. Of course different aio's will perform differently but they do offer some form of grounding, if one fan is better at static pressure and the other offers more airflow which is better could be a question only answered by a real world application. In terms of noise how do other components affect it, or it's frequency response. This is something you require a better analog for. End of the day the question people have is how does it perform in use, which can be derived from other data, but is not an easy thing to do. A single case setup where air flow is messured through the case would help ground the data in the real world.

@ailluinthethyra6139 3 ай бұрын

@@phantomzagreb Top static pressure, good airflow = good for AIO's. Sweet spot for high CPU load is 1700 RPM & 2300 RPM upwards for extreme cooling requirements. That's exactly why testing with a few AIO's is irrelevant because acoustics can behave wildly different & you can add the case mounting system to complicate things more. Arctic LF III data is useless for someone with an Asetek, Alphacool or whatever other OEM AIO's so it's a waste of time IMO.

@Cheeseypoofs85 2 ай бұрын

i mean im all for the data tables but an actual temp test on a cooler would be nice to SEE the difference

@HardwareBusters 2 ай бұрын

Temp test on a a single cooler doesn't show anything. This is why I paid 60K for the Fan testing machine by Long Win. One cooler might want high airflow, other high static pressure, other both, so testing on coolers will only show 1% of the whole picture.

@AndyU96 3 ай бұрын

Would it be possible for you to investigate whether an increase in static pressure results in less turbulence and therefore less noise in radiator cooling?

@HardwareBusters 3 ай бұрын

I can do that yes, but I will need to find two fans with exactly the same specs, with only static pressure being different.

@@HardwareBusters Hello. Thank you for your response. I did see your test but it's the ARGB version and not the "black" version. I think there must be differences, if only in the material used for the fan blades, which I think must have an influence on the operation and therefore on the measurements that would be obtained.

Now arctic needs a refresh of their AIOs with these fans. Their coolers will probably be the best mid range coolers on the market

It would also be interesting to see how Arctic's older fans do in comparison. The P14 PWM might still be a viable option if the higher speed isn't needed.

Sir, ur picture of the 5 package is wrong price showing wrong product P14 PWM PST which is different item and a minimum of 1/3 cheaper at least in country of origin (0:48) Also the stats like RPM; below PWM%; cfm; and others differ notable between 0:30 and 1:00 but thanks for the review, want some of these if they become cheaper
