Nice!

2nd fan make sense in big cooler like DeepCool Lucifer V2, when cooler slim like this its not important

I had to mount cooler on back tomorrow (as you show on second method) 🥲 because there is no space for ram to insert on motherboard, i hope pc will not explode.

Hawktuah

your comparrison in the first sound test looks to be different in many ways that alter the validity of the comparison, making it less reliable... for example: the backround hiss indicating different mic sensitivity between the 2 parts of the comparisson, where when you are testing the silent switch theres 0 to one, but when testing the yellow switch theres alot of hiss, not only that! the video, looking compressed heavily on the silent switch, while looking "krispy" on the yellow switch... i saw some comment saying it looks like you are typing lighter to on the silent keyboard, as i somewhat agree it might be a result of the video feeling compressed and having less frames, leading it to feel slower.

Sooo, i built my PC a while ago but it was my very first time ever using one of these coolers. I went with the "Thermalright AssassinX120 SE ARGB White CPU Air Cooler, AX120 SE" cooler. I never had any issues with temps or anything, but i was walking by my PC that sits on a table next to my desk and realized i had the fan blowing towards the back. I never noticed because I never had any temperature issues. It just caught my eye. Then I started wondering if it even mattered. Thats how I ended up here. I only have 2 sticks of RAM with the RGB heatsink covers on them similar to yours. Then I wondered if putting the fan on the front of the cooler would help keep the RAM cooler. But, I dont really want to change anything if it's not going to make much of a difference. Soo, I appreciate this video!! It saved me a few mins by not making me change the fan to the front, lmao. Thank you!!

Ducted input from case would be biggest boost in performance. I am not certain MB temps are 0.1 C repeatable likely 0.3C

So now I am am wondering if the old adage of buying matched pair is overrated. I can pick up two Kingston Fury beasts 8gb, for a third of the price of a packed pair of the same ram. And being I may have to Dremel the top of the heatsink by 2 mm to fit one of them into the first slot under the fan, it would be nice if I got the option buy a single again if I messed that up. (option B, remove one of the heat sinks (still nice to be able to buy again if I mess it up), option C, move the fan to the back of the cooler which apparently increases the noise just a little, but mostly won't look so nice.

I have the same set up problem. But it's only the first stick that in the way. So I'm wondering about the consequences of removing the heat sink from just one of 4 sticks of ram.

May I ask the thickness of the PCB?

I want build second fan on my cpu cooler but which one i need to buy for ak500s? Because i need that mount thing for cpu cooler where i can get that

Hello, I am deciding between different Noctua heatsink cpu coolers. I will have my PC moved to the NZXT H6 flow, and I want to optimize air flow to Positive pressure. I will have the stock 3 fans for intake, but I want to make sure I get most of the hot air out to get cooler air as quick as possible while reducing dust collection

the noise difference doesn't sound that huge, at leaste from the video audio although the tone is different.

I find having a fan in pull config isn't desirable as it creates an annoying acoustic. I have a Deepcool AS500 plus and at full speed, the fans are only at 1200rpm but the rear fan creates that loud noise due to it trying to pull air through the heatsink. If I run the fan at max with just the front fan, I don't really hear it as much. This is why for intake fans, it's best to have a gap/space between any mesh panel and the front of the fan. If you put your hand directly in front of a spinning fan, you'll hear the difference as well.

Cpu fan should be installed in the front for maximum performance. SMH

I directed both CPU fans to the center. and directs the rear fan of the case inward. I installed 2 fans above the casing for exhaust output and 2 fans above the PSU leading to the GPU. I get cooler temperatures. and I installed 3 fans pointing inward at the front of the casing. so the heat dissipation path is only at the top of the casing

all fans have to be synchronized otherwise they might block each others airflow slightly

Three yrs later and still relevant. Thnx for the vid

I am about to put my u14s on an am5 cpu. i'm sure it will do just fine. Good to see theres no reason to add an extra fan.

Take off that unnecessary transparent side cover and your temperature will drop even more and thus the noise...

that is visually such a downgrade

I’m really glad to see this works with the fan reverse. I had to do this unfortunately. I got my hands on some good ram for a cheap price, but they are taller and don’t allow space for my CPU fan. Love to see it’s minimal with temperature change! ❤

the sound of them gave me an orgasm

If only they made it wireless

Hi, hoping you see this. I have this keyboard with glorious holy pandas (lubed) but it’s still not a pleasant sound. Is this still valid or better ways to upgrade the board?

Hello everyone ! 🌞😉👍 Very good video ! I really L❤VE the noctua Colers 😻😻😻 For the sake of a technical experiment, I recently changed “ID Cooling IS-67-XT” to “Noctua NH-C14S” I took this cooler so that it would simultaneously cool the RAM and the motherboard's power circuits (VRM) You have a beautiful, powerful computer ! I Really like it !

tried deskeys and kelowna films on zealpc pearlios I couldn't see a difference compared to stock maybe they are that good

Thanks for the test, but I will point out your mistakes. You need to show the fan rotation speed in the test; the final temperature and noise from the fan depend on this! Next, you connected the rear fan to the radiator without any gasket, which creates turbulence and causes more noise from the fan at the back! Included with the cooling kit, the Noctua comes with thick fan gaskets, specifically for installing it behind the radiator! You need to know this! By increasing the distance between the rear-mounted fan and the radiator, the noise from the fans is significantly less, and the system performance will be higher! Read the instructions for your cooling, which comes with the kit)

just bought a v2

Missing yah!

Bro how is better ?

Thx for that test, I´m stunned that is nearly no dif. betwen 1 front and dual fans, only you pay less because no +1 fan to buy. After that I would be intrested how the Noctua NH-U12A is vs this Noctua in cooling.

In my experience, the pull method (after the radiator) will make the fans work harder which makes them louder. Having the fans set up to keep stall (neutral air) from building up is always a plus. No matter, if you prefer AIO/Air, proper air circulation, if you prefer AIO/Air, proper air circulation will save you a lot of money.

with cheaper fans and heat sinks, having 2 fans improves temperature a lot in my setup it was nearly 10c noctua quality is insane

5:24 actual reason it was louder in pull config and push/pull config is the pull fan placement to the heatsink. That heatsink was not designed to have the pull fan that close to it. The intake side of the fan is so close to the heatsink that it makes turbulence. Some of Noctua's coolers and many other brands need a slight gap on the pull fan to avoid this added noise. Noctua even includes thicker corner fan pads in the box for the U14S and likely many other coolers I don't own. Always pay attention when you install any fan with the intake side close to something. If you hear a new noise, don't just slow your fan down, find a way to put a gap between the fan and the surface it is flush against. Crazy this is not talked about more in tech channels, pull fans are always vulnerable to weird additional noises from the fan blades simply being too close to an object.

I love this guy! First person I've seen I year actually know and use the word viscous! He give you the right information and recommendations aswell, planning on getting the heavier ones although I don't have much experience with stuff like this I'm looking foward to it!

Hello so for the first time in my life im having a heatsink fan and lots of time the heatsink fan will get loud its on the front side i have 2 frontside intakes and 1 backside exhaust the heatsink fan keeps being loud

I want to purchase the Gazzew Bobagum Silent Linear switches, but I joined the customized keyboard game too late. Most vendors are sold out, and only have the 68g switches. I would be okay with at most, 62g, to start off. After watching your review, I agree with you about the key strokes. I am going to order the 68g. Thank you!

You must be senile if you want to walk into an office for work.

hell yeah... i bought a gmmk tkl for a biblically discounted price and i feel like i............dont need more. lol.

Thanks for making pros and cons .. really good review

When having two fans, if the back one is spinning a bit slower than the front it could block airflow possibly or create a hot air pocket?

I've been using the stock lubed Glorious Pandas for a while and really enjoyed them. However I'm trying some linear right now, even though I've been a tactile/clicky guy my entire life, and actually enjoying the smoothness of Morandi. The factory lube job on the Pandas is really good, at least on the ones made in early 2023 and they are nice and thocky sounding out of the box but the price is significantly more expensive. Great review!

i have this one too, and i placed the fan at front. there is 3 fan : 1 big fan in front case for intake, 2 small fan in back case for exhaust.

The voltage used for the second fan probably affected your render performance slightly

Makes sense. The back flan is actually slowing the air flow out of the front fan.

Nice one. I think your rear PC case fan is close enough to keep pulling the hot air coming out of the heat sink that the back fan is not really doing anything much extra? Yes, these Noctuas are built good and one fan should do it as they are pretty large enough anyways.

Next time, can you turn the stupid music OFF while you are talking? I COOULD NOT HEAR YOU. Do teachers play loud music in a classroom while they are instructing?

Dimension of the keyboard?

how are your keys so quiet, it sounds like your keycaps aren't hitting the switch housing. Did you put the O-rings or something there?
