this is probably the weirdest product unboxing request that I've ever received this is for the coolermaster sickle flow I think they're called the r4 Series fan so I have the blue one as well as the green LED one I'm going to start by unboxing the green one although you can see pretty much what its gonna look like now and looks like this packaging is completely sealed they come in I'm breaking everything they come in two completely different packages despite the fact that they are the same product except a different color and I'm not really sure why that is but they do but anyway yeah so someone sent a message to my employer of all people to ask me to do this unboxing so he's sort of sending he forwards me this email and he's like Oh Linus someone wants you to do this and I'm like oh okay I mean you could always just send me a message on YouTube it's a much faster way to get in touch with me but either way yeah here you go for whoever requested this unboxing I'm unboxing the fan you can see that it has one two three four five six nine blades and they're kind of a unique swept shape I'm guessing that's why it's called sickle flow on the back you can see that we've got our three pins for deep our ground and rpm monitoring and then separately around this side you can see the black and green ones that are powering all of the LEDs it's got kind of a unique construction it looks like you could almost take this apart and put in different LEDs if you really wanted to like they're not just glued in there actually they have little housings that they sit in okay well here why don't we plug it in they run at 2,000 rpm and I'll show you the specs in a minute oh I unplugged my power supply no here's a tech tip for you if you short out the green and the black pins on your power supply it'll run even without plugging it into a computer see it's on so I'll plug my fan in here and it is green look at that how surprising so it has a black frame black clear blades that's the word I was looking for not fans blades and the cameraman is pointing us something I have no idea what he wants he wants me to hold it here okay let me see how quiet it is okay it's about what you would expect for a 2000 rpm fan but it looks pretty cool so I'll leave that there and then I'll work on unboxing the other one so this is the blue version it looks basically the same except blue and go oh yeah I should probably also show you the specs here cameraman comes stare at the specs for minutes okay so uh dude they're there okay oh I did that thing again everyone gives me a hard time about it when I'm in the middle of unboxing and I'd like make that weird I did this it's it's it's it's it you know what maybe I'll just do it just to spite everybody dicta to did Tiffany okay here let's plug in the blue one oh yeah yeah yeah here go look at the specs while I plug in the blue so the blue one looks much the same except blue I think I like the green one better but I always like green better than blue anyway so it's exactly the same fan you got your shiny plastic you got your shiny LEDs and here you can see it blowing the post-it note no no other angle see see it blows the post-it note pretty good so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Corsair r4 series fans and I hope you've enjoyed it don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips and also don't forget to check out my other channel NCIX comm so this is for a couple of reasons first of all I called these Corsair fans they're coolermaster that was a mistake and second of all I wanted to show them together in the dark this is under my desk so I'm kind of camping here and this is what they look like they look a lot more impressive from the front than from the back so I would recommend using them as like an intake fan on your case and yeah those look pretty sweet that was it don't forget to subscribe
