Yeah, I'm going to do it in all of my videos from now on

no.. spreading false info much? it's just the typical low life span, high noise fluid dynamic bearing..

@@jacobgaysawyer337 it is a dual ball bearing what u on

@@jacobgaysawyer337 it literally states that it is dual ball bearing, learn to read Jacob Gay

I would expect that to maybe make a difference at higher speeds, but the lower speed noise definitely sounds like motor torque impulses to me.

Oh yeah I would definitely prefer this to the iPPC. I really don't like the design of the NF-F12. It might have better static pressure at zero airflow, but the PQ curve for this gentle typhoon blade design is probably much better.

All my 140mm on my LiquidFreezer 2 280mm, are dead after about 2,5 years. (non stop) Got this version, look more sturdy.

If you have the space (including at least 10mm or so of clearance on the fan intake side), go for the T30

@@ydihtty thank you!

Do you need high performance like this fan offers with 3000 RPM, or do you care more about silence?

In between I guess since my case is big

If Thermalright b12 extreme I won’t be doing 2500 to 3000rpm

@@haveybal The Gentle Typhoon is rated for 2150 RPM which should be plenty. I think the Gentle Typhoon is generally higher quality than the B12.

Ok will take gt xpg 2150 rpm. Was also looking at Noctua NF-A12x25mm chromax black version 😁

The unit variance of max RPM is ±10%. The rated max RPM is 3150. 3150*0.9 is 2835, so 2845 is above the minimum expectation here.

@@ydihtty oh ok thanks.

It will spin faster if you don't run the fan on a heatsink and run it like in this video with no resistance.

@@purebloodsunite7489 oh ok thanks.

Yeah, at 980-990 RPM there is a resonance on mine.

I prefer the Toughfan.

It's more like a Nidec Gentle Typhoon. But it's still worse than that.

If a noctua runs at this sort of speeds it will still be same or almost comparable noise. Noise levels increases exponentially as rpm increases. Also noctua nfa12 is actually a copy of nidec so there's that.

@@datdudeinred Noctua NF-A12x25 is not a copy of the Nidec Gentle Typhoon.

​​​​@@ydihtty 100% copy, but with a little bit different SSO2 instead of friction bearing Lowest max RPM (and lowest noise) And...that's all, global

@@user-sw3rs9eq3r If you look more closely, its obvious that the blade design is very different. Compared to the Gentle Typhoon, the NF-A12x25 has: - Sharper blade tip - Tighter tip clearance - Shorter blade length (to accommodate Noctua's Stepped Inlet design) - Flow Acceleration channels - Shallower blades (gives some clearance between a grill and the leading edge of the blade, especially compared to the GT which reduces clearance towards the tip) - Overall flatter profile of the leading edge. Its still sunken towards the hub, but there is a subtle convex curve out towards the tip - Sharper leading/trailing edge, along with thicker blades, which gives a noticeably different cross-sectional profile, the bottom of the blades is smooth - Less curve in the overall shape, but a greater forward-sweep from the base of the blade (going further the other way would yield something like the Coolermaster Sickleflow X) - No notches in the trailing edge towards the base of the blade (probably not needed due to LCP material and greater gap between the trailing edge and the struts) Basically every parameter of the blade geometry is different...

I think T30, though I don't know what the regular B12 is like yet.

Maybe, but honestly I think there are plenty of better options out there nowadays.

@@ydihtty well, there is a new sheriff in town and you know his name. but what if i need...lets say...15 of them? quite harmful for your wallet. i currently use bunch of toughfans and p12 argb's for rads and case. upgrading to a12x25 or t30 will give some results, but it will be about deminishing returns. thats why i look for this kind of superpowerful, but not so superpricy fans and other pc stuff.

@@angeltensey Fair enough. Toughfans are good.

It's certainly not a bad option for that application.

The blade design is clearly copied from the Nidec "Gentle Typhoon", the Noctua NF-A12x25 has differently shaped blades.

@@ydihtty noctua is more quiet end best like quality

@Mario Kart the scythe gentle typhoons was more in competition with the Noctua nf-a12. but the gt stomped the nf-a12 when it came to sp. but then all the talks about what the best all lead to not worth the cost when a $4 yate loon fan got better performance per droller. hence the 30mm rads used today was they work well with cheaper less sp fans. if you got the space its better to go more rad vs more expensive fan any day.
