Great Video Steve, I can't wait to see the fan round Up. I am sorry for posting this Twice, I just really want to see this from you, as you have the BEST TESTING Methodology that I have seen from any Video Outlet, and you Rival the few Writteen Outlets, and NO ONE Has done the Thorough Testing that you would do, on this specific Fan. I know that this will not be the most popular pick because not many people use them, but because of their performance specs and the 1 trusted review that exists for them online, I have a case half full of Cooler Master JETFLO 120MM Fans. These fans CLAIM to move 95CFM with a static Pressure of 2.72mm/h2O at 100 Percent speed (2000Rpm) and claim to only be 36dB. While I have no way of testing the Static Pressure and Air Flow Claim, I do know through my own testing, that it is a LOT LOUDER then 36dB. Can You PLEASE Test this Claim for me, I know I will probably be the only one asking, but with Cooler Master Claiming those specs, they would appear to be some of the best balanced fans (Static Pressure and Air Flow) on the Market, and I would really like to see what your tests reveal. Also I would Love to see some tests done on Corsairs ML120 Fans, since these are what I am slowly replacing the JetFlo Fans with due to them being Quieter and having even better Static Pressure Specs, but again would love to see if the Manufacturers Specs Align with what you find. It Would Be AWESOME IF YOU COULD DO THESE 2! Thank You Steve! Cooler Master JetFlo 120MM Corsair ML120 120MM

I actually like their colour scheme. However, I think people exaggerate a bit how much of an effect it would have on sales. For sure they could attract more casual buyers if they looked the way trends suggest, but Noctua have their audience. People who look for best air performance will usually buy Noctua regardless.

I have a Phanteks Enthoo Pro and it came with a 200 mm fan at the front and there's even space for a 200 mm fan at the top (!) and I am loving it - it really moves a lot of air, as an intake, to compensate for three exhaust fans on the radiator on top. I am really looking forward to seeing more of these becoming available.

Just an FYI for those who might be interested. I have an 820 case and have had four Bitfenix Spectre Pro 200 mm fans running continuously for five years with no problems - two are horizontal exhaust (top) and two are vertical filtered intake (front and side) mounted. Do be aware that 200 mm mounting is non-standard, so I had to mod the case to make these work. As the man says they move a lot of air for little noise.

Another point why 200mm fans went away was the power efficiency shift. Where the average PSU wattage for a decent gaming pc was 650-800W a few years ago, it is now about 500W. Extreme case cooling is simply not necessary or marketable anymore when you cut wattage by 25%.

Rajesh, he's saying if your components are not that hot (which can be extrapolated from watts consumed), there's less chance you'll spend $20, $30, or $40 on new fans--and instead just use that for a better motherboard or RGB lights or maybe a pre-overclocked GPU.

I wouldn't call an objective observation "$#@%!ing" on a product though. All he did was point out the fact that their chassis was modded before someone went out on a rampage about how "Gamers Nexus' data shows better performance." Discussing how testing is done is pretty standard when reporting laboratory experiments and GN always emphasizes how their tests were conducted; meaning that anyone should be able to replicate the test environment and see results for themselves. =\

The reason 200mm died is because every case has to support liquid cooling mounting.

Kostas Bezaitis no that's not the reason, you can have mounting for 120/140 and 200mm. The reason 200mm went away was because the style of cases changed alot from the big beefmeisters like the CoolerMaster HAF series used to be, they became more showpiece cases with nice sleek designs that just didn't have room to accommodate 200mm fans.

How about testing Fractal's Venturi Fans? It would be especially interesting to see the difference between the normal HP-14 and PWM models because they push out different amounts of air and different noise levels, but have different static pressure ratings.

would like to see the Noctua NF-A14 ULN tested in your roundup. curious if you get the same noise performance out of a regular Noctua NF-A14 on a fan curve or whether this fan is actually quieter or just has limited max rpm for use without manually controlling the fan.

I bought 2 80mm, 2 140mm and 1 120mm Noctua fans about 5 years ago when I built my system and LOVE those fans. They were pricey and at the time there were no competitor. Now there's a ton of competition and "better" looking options as well, but since they haven't failed me yet, It would be difficult to sway me to another brand.

Nice to see some new 200 mm fans. I currently own full tower Ravcore case that has 3 200 mm fans, and I recently went with old Cooler Master 200 mm fans. They do wobble a bit, but you can put them on rubber pins to account for that. I use them because of much higher static pressure and air flow than Phanteks and Thermaltake Pure fans that I own (and obviously Ravcore ones, which push almost no air) Also I got them for like 7$ each. It would be nice to see more of these, especially ones with high static pressure, since it's hard to push air through filters and today's cases with blocked front etc.

My fan suggestion, which might be a bit silly, is the Corsair LL140. For a while now as I'm trying to finalize a future build I've been more back and forth on case + radiator options than anything. If the LL's are pretty decent I would go for a push or push/pull front or top radiator setup in a more visible case but if they are a bit behind other, cheaper options then I will simply have them as top/rear exhaust in more closed off case. Thank you for you content! As a fairly new PC builder your thorough videos and articles are very useful. :D

Oh, and what's a good replacement fan for the Rosewill Thor V2? All of the 230mm fans need to be replaced but all the fans are 200mm X 30mm, and Rosewill is 230mm so I have no idea what to buy or where? Can I just buy the Noctua 200mm fans and glue them, or rig them somehow to the side, front, and top of my case? What should I do for replacing the stock failing Rosewill fans? Besides the fans I love this case and will not get rid of it! There is a way to make it work but how is what I need help with? Any help would be great! And I can toss a few bucks for a solid list of parts to buy that actually work! Air cooled!

Great video as always GN! As for 120/140mm fans to test in the tunnel for the next video, I' like to see how Corsair's newer ML series fans stack up against the tried true Noctua NF-F12. Other higher end fans I'd like to see are the Be Quiet! Silent Wings, Fractal Design Venturi, and Cooler Master Silencio fans. I'm really curious to see how the popular Corsair SP and AF fans compare to the high end ones. And for odd ball, I'd like to see Aerocool's Dead silence series of fans tested as I've been considering them for a while. Also, could throw in a couple be of slim 15mm fans for comparison on how much performance you lose when using a lower profile fan?

I'd be interested to see what the difference is between the Be Quiet! Pure Wings 2 and Silent Wings 3 at 140mm. I think there may be a supposed difference in static pressure between the two but the Pure Wings are at a much lower price point. It's been hard for me to find any direct comparisons.
