Scythe Gentle Typhoon Quiet Static Pressure PC Cooling Fan Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

2012-08-03
welcome to my unboxing of the scythe gentle typhoon series of fans so these are sort of more commonly known as scythe GTS and they are very very very well regarded on the interwebs so I am led to believe ok hyper cooling nano vibration comfortable tone I think what they're trying to say is that they cool really well they don't vibrate very much and they are not loud okay so the noise that they make is is of a tonality that's not very disruptive to your enjoyment of using your computer they're available in a variety of different rpms so we've got a couple here today we've got the 1850 as well as the 1450 depending on what you're trying to do so these are rated for different airflow they're rated for different decibels okay they both have long life double ball-bearing 100,000 our rated bearings okay moving along to the back overall dimension okay if there's anything interesting here out really they don't have a pressure rating that's weird because one of the things okay hold on hair characteristics achieves high airflow volume and low noise with the newly designed impeller enabling silent cooling and the latest devices which run very hot impending so that means this and this design is like more newer more better and more different okay the gentle typhoon has a different type of tone the fan propeller is designed to reduce the disturbing frequency fan noise to human ears so reducing the frequency mean it's more of a low hum instead of a high-pitched whine the large scale motor and motor support mechanism in the gentle techno music - reduction structure okay the new support mechanism uses coil dampers to greatly reduce vibration time depending okay so one of the things that is it's always sort of you know weird to me its high-end fans that have a very large hub but you can see why scythe opted to do that because the hub effectively reduces the amount of cooling surface that you have for the fan but if that was what they had to do to reduce the vibration and build a very high quality bearing and motor and supports sure then I guess that's what they had to do uses an AI tech sir no okay okay I think that's pretty much all there is to say fairly bare-bones accessory package so you've got a 4-pin molex to three pin molex adapter you've got four screws and that is pretty much it so we will be using these to compare against Corsairs brand new static pressure SP 120 fans on a course RH 100 in a real system on the NCIX tech cubes channel to find out once and for all have Corsairs new fans dethroned what was considered to be the king of pressure fans because that is what gentle typhoons are really well known for on the forums is use on heat sinks as well as use in scenarios that require high static pressure so the design of the blades allows it to effectively push air through fins of radiators and heat sinks restrictive casing takes whatever the case may be these can push air through them as opposed to only being optimized for free-flowing scenarios so we're gonna find out which one does better on that radiator don't forget to subscribe - tech tips from our boxing's reviews and other computer videos
