guys you're watching Jays two cents and today we're gonna take a look at the brand spanking new NB a-- loop 1600 RPM ultra quiet fan from phobia this thing was designed in conjunction with noise blocker so we're gonna see just how this thing performs on our water cooling setup okay so the fan comes in this nice packaging here it's actually pretty decent packaging some fans come in horrible packaging inside the box here you have and one of the things I absolutely love about phobia and I just want to point that out right now is they sleeve everything everything that comes electronic from them there are fan controllers that obviously their fans have really really good sleeping on them I mean it they don't scrimp in that area as you can see right here we are using the black and red model because we have kind of an ROG theme going with this water cooling build that we're working on and the fins are actually transparent just like the noise blocker fans if you've ever looked at noise blocker if you're not familiar with noise blocker they're a very good fan company teamed up with phobia to bring you just one of the best fans that they could possibly build you get a pretty generous length of wire here for the fan I wouldn't say it's incredibly long but I also say it wouldn't it's not as short as the Corsair fans where they only give you like that much fan cable which you can't do anything with but what's really interesting about this fan design is if you come in here and look closely you'll see that not only do you have these blades but on the side of the blade they're all connected with a ring typical fans each blade is independent of each other and what happens with that is the fan the the air wants to take the most least resistance path of travel which means sometimes you're gonna lose some of the air out the side of the fan between the fan blade and the shroud here so you're gonna have air escaping out the sides but what this ring around here does is it literally scoops the air in and it has nowhere to go except out the backside of the fan so that means you're gonna get maximum air pressure static pressure and you're gonna get maximum airflow as well from one fan design and also too we have these little ridges here on the back of the fan you can see them they're kind of difficult to see they're right here these ridges are designed to kind of break up some of the noise that comes with air flow so it's not only going to channel the air more straight for higher static pressure operation but it also gives a much more silent operation to the fan because it's scooping all of that air very cleanly rather than chopping the air which is what a basic fan does these fans right here are very cool I cannot wait to see how these things perform they have an entirely new bearing design - they call it and I want to look this up for so that I don't get this mess mess up here bear with me guys half the boxes in German and granted I do read some German yeah okay so we'll just go through some some specs here real quick before we put these in this build and see what we've got here we've got 1600 rpms they require one watt to operate they operate a starting voltage of 6 volts a little bit higher than some fan some fans start at 5 volt these guys are gonna start at 6 volts they have a maximum static pressure at 12 volts a 1560 mmm h2o I actually don't know what that means I just know the higher the static number the better but they claim to be really good at static pressure they have 104 m3h of airflow I don't follow airflow much but it does have 60 1.2 CFM that is a lot of airflow and/or cubic feet per minute is what CFM is that's gotta be it is because of that ring design I can't wait to see how these sound because they're advertising only 22 and a half decibels at a hundred CF 100 cm sound pressure so 22 and a half decibels we're gonna see if that's 22 and a half at 6 volts or 12 volts some companies will only show you their sound rating based on their lowest starting voltage which is kind of unfair because you put 12 volts to it and then it sounds like a hairdryer and then you get it and you're going well I thought I was getting a quiet fan and now I've got this a really loud hairdryer in my computer and the bearing design which I mentioned earlier they call it a bionic rotor now because it because it's patented I don't know how much information you'll find about this Bionic says bionic loop fan right here on the bottom designed in Germany as we all know the Germans make awesome stuff I mean that by the way just to show you how smooth these bearings are most of the time if you spin a fan you'll see as it slows down it kind of does a whoop-whoop you know kind of a little jerky motion as it goes over the magnet check this out this thing just goes and goes and goes and as it slows down you can see right there it it hit that magnet but look how smooth that is I'm barely touching that and it is just so smooth and what's funny is normally if you spin a fan by hand sometimes you can't feel any of the airflow like with the SP 120 fans from Corsair great fans I use them in my system but if you spin them by hand you don't really feel any air but these right here the airflow just from spinning it by hand is absolutely amazing if these things live up and if fobia ever makes these in yellow I think I might end up switching my fans so let's go ahead and put the system together and let's see exactly how these things stack up okay we're back in the Lupus together you would think we've done this loop 500 times with all the videos we've done on this particular loop system but bear with us we just got to get through this together I promise I'll be over soon we've got the fans in here the fobia NB 1600 rpm super high static pressure I don't even know I personally not run a fan that has as much static pressure as these fans right here that we put into this client build it's really difficult when doing a review and fans to really relate to you the noise or the the static pressure I mean a lot of people know what static pressure is that's the amount of force it can push through resistance and then you have air flow which is the amount of volume of air that fan can move in a non-restrictive environment and we're doing water cooling which is one of the things these fans are designed for is very high static pressure you want to be able to push the fans or the air through the resistance of the radiator and in this build right here we do have 45 millimeter thick alpha cool next to 60 45 radiators so with that a lot of people ask we'll push pull like we mentioned earlier in the video when you have a fan like this and with that really cool ring design that goes around the outside of the fan that forces the air through it and it has nowhere else that can go off to the side because it doesn't have that gap around the blades and it's like one big blade turning the amount of static pressure is amazing I want to demonstrate something for you right now because I feel this is the way to really get across just how powerful yet not excessively noisy these fans are at 12 volts they are a little bit noisy when you run them through a radiator simply because it's the radiator making the sound it's not the fan you have the the air is bouncing through all those fins so it's not a very fair test to say that it's a noisy fan 1600 RPMs is a is a fast spinning fan but at the same time that's what gives it a lot of its maximum static pressure we are running at 12 volts here right now in these fans I've got a piece of paper here and the fans are up here on the top of this NZXT switch a10 pulling the air through the radiator and if I take this paper I can stick that to the radiator right there I mean yeah that's the case for probably most fans but the the fact that this as you can see will pull it I mean this it is from this distance through a radiator it is pulling the paper out of my hand you see this I can't even get it in there to show you with that it's sucking it up and then the amount of air pushing through the top even through this grille as you can see we have a grill up here that is the amount of airflow that we are dealing with with these fans so if you need yourself some really high pressure static fans for water cooling or you just want a nice strong fan for a case the fobia fans definitely hit it out of the park I mean they come in a few different colors too they're in red black blue they've got rubber grommets on the corner that make it so that they're a lot more silent they have some noise dampening in there and I'm telling you right now the amount of static pressure that things that these put out is absolutely amazing there is just no other way to describe it so definitely a winter product as far as I'm concerned and I personally never said that a product was like an award-winning product on this channel I don't do awards but I'm definitely gonna say that these fans hit it right out of the park so check out those pans guys over on aqua tuning us thanks aqua tuning for sending those fans over for me to do a review on and as always if you've liked what you seen you know what you do you hit the button you hit those buttons you stick around and the social media information is down in the description tweet your questions to me if you have any tech questions computer questions be more than happy to communicate with you guys and help you out on those technology fronts guys I'm gonna get on out of here I'm exhausted it's been a lot of videos a very busy week thanks for watching thanks for being a subscriber and as always I'll see you in my next video
