The video primarily covers the critical role of cooling fans in computer systems, focusing on specific models, particularly the Silent Wings Pro 4 fans from Be Quiet. The Phantix G360A PC case is highlighted for its optimal airflow features and compatibility with modern components. Throughout the segments, the speaker goes into detail about various fan attributes including size options (120mm and 140mm), high RPMs, and innovative mounting accessories like push-through pins and interchangeable corner pieces.
The review spans the fans' design elements—emphasizing airflow and static pressure optimization—mentioning high-quality cable connectors, paracord cables, and toggle switches for speed adjustments. The comparison of older and newer models reveals improvements in aesthetic details and functional flexibility.
Performance tests illustrate the fans' capabilities, highlighting noise levels at different RPM settings and the advantages of using larger fans for greater efficiency at lower speeds. The presenter conducts practical airflow and noise tests using a 3D-printed cone, discussing the challenges in volume calculations but noting satisfactory outcomes.
Finally, features such as anti-vibration mounts, extensive life expectancy, and compatibility with fan controllers and motherboard headers are emphasized. The video concludes with a recommendation for the Silent Wings Pro 4 due to its quiet operation, high airflow, and adaptable speed settings, suggesting the use of a fan controller for optimal performance.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the importance of computer fans, emphasizing that they are critical for cooling systems inside computers. He highlights the Phantix G360A PC case, which features a mesh front panel for optimal airflow, supports full-length GPUs up to 400 millimeters, allows for a 360-millimeter radiator, and includes integrated DRGB lighting that is compatible with all motherboard RGB controllers.
Next, he introduces the Silent Wings Pro 4 fans from Be Quiet, noting that they are available in two sizes (120mm and 140mm) and praising their high RPMs (3000 RPM for 120mm and 2400 RPM for 140mm). He recommends using these fans with a fan controller due to the noise potential despite their “silent” name. The segment also covers the fans’ mounting accessories, including innovative push-through pins and interchangeable optimized corner pieces to adapt to different use cases.

In this part of the video, the presenter reviews and discusses the features and installation options for a computer fan. The fan comes with pre-installed, radiator-optimized corner pieces, but you can also use other mounts provided, depending on your setup. The presenter highlights the high-quality cable connectors and the design of the fan blades, which are optimized for both airflow and static pressure, featuring trademark ridges from “be quiet!” to smooth and direct airflow. The fan is noted for its performance, acoustics, and a clean matte black look with no lighting.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the aesthetic and functional aspects of a cooling fan. He mentions that while the older fan models had orange writing that detracted from an all-black ‘murdered out’ theme, the newer be quiet fans feature black with white writing that is more acceptable. The speaker highlights the flexibility of the paracord cable compared to the rigid plastic sleeving. He explains the 3000 RPM fan’s three-point toggle switch, which allows for medium (1600 RPM), high (2500 RPM), and ultra-high (3000 RPM) speeds. The importance of larger fans (140mm, 180mm, and 200mm) lying in their ability to move more air at lower RPMs with lower static pressure is also discussed. He emphasizes the advantage of corner units for radiator AIO setups to prevent air escape and improve efficiency.

In this segment, the presenter discusses a unique fan system with adjustable settings and compares it to a Silent Wings 3 fan. The fan is shown to be a 1500 RPM model that can be adjusted. A 3D-printed 120mm cone is used to force air through a flow meter for comparative analysis, acknowledging that there’s no volume calculation involved. Initial testing reveals the fan to be very quiet, with design features that contribute to smooth and quiet airflow. The differences between the airflow-optimized fan and the pressure and flow hybrid fan are highlighted. The presenter notes the hybrid fan’s higher noise levels at 2500 RPM. Comparisons are made between calculated airflow values and manufacturer specifications, with a focus on performance for small form factor builds.
00:12:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses their experience with fan calculations, specifically the challenges of calculating cone shapes, and concludes that they achieved satisfactory results. They highlight the features of the fan in question, including its anti-vibration mounts, speed control, and compatibility with fan controllers and motherboard headers. The speaker performs a noise test at various RPM levels (1100, 1900, 2400), noting significant airflow and noise differences. They mention the fan’s life expectancy of 300,000 hours at 25°C, its high CFM range (97-165.5), and impressive air pressure (3.64 mm H2O). The speaker concludes by recommending the fan for its quiet operation, high airflow, and switchable speeds, though they advise using a fan controller for optimal performance.
