Man, these are tempting. But I'd have tp swap out 5 140mm and one 120mm fan. And that still wouldn't cancel out the noise from my Windforces. Might have another look when one of my current fans is failing. Actually one on my X61 Kraken is failing. NZXT quickly sent a replacement though. Heck, since I wasn't sure which of the two fans are failing, they sent *two* replacements. Talk about excellent support.

I was actually on the lookout for some fans when I spotted this mini review! I like the idea of the magnetic bearings so I've just ordered a set of both the 120mm and 140mm twinpacks which should be here with me tomorrow...

I chose the non-pro twinpacks as the black and white styling fits the style of my system well and they don't come with horrible LED lights either which I abhor. Also they're cheaper too which is nice!

I'll whack the 2x 120s onto my H100i rad and the 2x 140s will replace the 2 front stock fans in the front of my case (Fractal Design Arc XL).

Though I wouldn't call my system loud, you can clearly hear all the fans so these should hopefully shave a few dbs of my system as my case pretty much lets all the internal sounds escape!

I'll still have a stock 140 on the rear exhaust, but I'll run that at the slowest speed for now and will worry about that later...

I wonder why they don't use rgb led for fans I would love to have green or orange or which ever color I feel like using.

the main reason probably addition production cost
adding rgb led means it will need led controller, extra wire.. etc

afaik corsair have yet to release rgb led
so either the demand not that many OR price with rgb led is not attractive for most people to buy

There are 12 cm versions, as per this article, and 14 cm versions available.

There are also two different functional (this does not include colour) variations of the fan in each size. The twin pack fan does not have the rubber corner mounts whereas the single packs do. The single versions are therefore labelled 'Pro' as they are anti-vibration, and cost more. I think if they had the pro in a twin pack at that price they'd be on a real winner. I don't think there would be too many people who would justify the extra cost of the 'Pro' versions.

Corner differences of the twin pack compared to the the pro:

The pro version is around 43 percent more expensive for the 12 cm and 45 percent for the pro. Expensive corners! There would be some discount in the twin pack, and extra charge in the pro for having the 'pro' feature corners.

based on the picture, aside the rubber corner, i see better plastic used in PRO compared to normal, not sure if that just photographic effect though


---------------------------

beside silverstone that have awesome support (based personal experience), corsair also great support
so as long corsair keeping their product quality (not to be disillusioned by long warranty terms) and their great RMA service, i will keep buying their products

been using their psu, cooler, fans ... it last long enough
so far only 1 failing psu (after 4years+), their rma service is great so no complain

I would like to see one of the fans insides. I guess there are tiny rare earth magnets? Is really the main question of how the magnets work. :)I think most people are fascinated by powerful magnets.....idk some people? lol everything to tiny to see i guess

Hi there

You are bought which one Noiseblockers fans ?

I've used three types on my builds and best has been NB Blacksilent,then I've tried NB eLoop which has been noisiest fans from Noiseblockers

Usually I'm using Noctua or BeQuiet fans and Scythe,few weeks back I've replaced all Corsair fans on friend PC as she hated noise and I've used only Noctua fans,they don't look fancy or cool,but offers quiet performance

Hope this helps

Thanks,Jura

I've bought 8 Noiseblocker Black Silent Pro PL-2, and while they are relatively quiet, the Swif I mentioned above is more quiet under half load for instance, at least subjectively. Unfortunately I couldn't get my hands on any Scythe Gentle Typhoons...

Don't get me wrong, it's not horrible or loud by itself, it's just... if it wasn't a bother to undo half my rig and unmount a rad from my cooling, I'd try some other fans, but... not right now, maybe during next year's maintenance or when I get a new GPU :D
