Arctic BioniX P140 Review - Arctic's 140mm Static Pressure King!

[@CijMags]

I think the fan noise depends on the pc case, I have 4 of this BioniX P140 in my ATX Mesh Case, 3 front intakes, 1 rear exhaust and its not that loud on 90-100% RPM, Superb cooling as well.

[@Jorgensen99]

Arctic makes by far the best fans for the price.

[@mattk6827]

Not really. Noctua redux p14s (140mm) pwm's, 1500rpm, literally same price on amazon in the US at least. I paid the same price ($16.99 ea) for the bionix p140's and they're horrible. If they're going to charge like noctua they better have the game to back it up. I wouldn't pay $17 for 2 of these.

@@mattk6827 1 noctua fan here costs the same as p12 value pack in Denmark

[@mattk6827]

@@Jorgensen99 The standard noctua cream/brown color fans are a bit more expensive. I was comparing 140 to 140mm, and the bionix p14 to the noctua redux. The gray ones, still use an sso2 bearing but it's just the fan. No lna adapters or extras. Do they have the gray redux noctua's there?

[@ssmb_92]

Appreciate the honest review. Interested to know how they perform on a radiator in a noise normalised scenario though.

[@mattk6827]

They will likely perform well for cooling. Noise normalized? There is no such thing with these turds, they're loud as hell. I'm talking just in a normal room with a forced air space heater on making noise, tv on low, yt audio on low but loud enough to listen to. And all I can hear are these janky fans at anything over around 1100rpm.

[@mattk6827]

I'm getting rid of mine after around 6 weeks. The p140's suck. They have good static pressure and airflow if you wear earplugs maybe. I had hoped for better case airflow putting 2 of these in the front of the case. They're cheap and loud. The frame's so flimsy I had to fix the mounting screws, the frame warped just slightly and the blades got stuck (spinning free hand, not powered). I found just holding the frame exerted enough pressure to stop the fans from clearing the frame/shroud. They're only tolerable up to around 1000rpm. Around 1100-1200rpm they drone, anything above just gets loud and obnoxious. Overpriced janky garbage unless it's cooling something in a garage out of earshot maybe. I wanted to like them, picked them up when my first choice (noctua redux p14s 1500 pwm) were out of stock. The noctua's are back in stock so these are going in a drawer. Or maybe straight to the trash.

Great. But you left out the Bionix P120 ARGB in the Noise Normalised graph at 3:26! It's a great performer to compare Bionix P140 to.

thank you for infomative video!

i think this is the only channel do, air cooler pc build..i like it

[@STSYT]

Thanks!

[@NGreedia]

While these fans are nice, they aren’t cheap. Over $24 here in canada and no value pack. Also, the CFM of the bionix P140 isn't much more than the regular P14. The F140 however seems to have a much higher CFM. I noticed that the F140 bionix vibrates a lot at 100% and the frame flexes too easily so the blades can hit the frame if not mounted properly

[@nonenone2191]

I have Bionix P120, P12 and P14 in my case, and Bionix is much louder than the other two...

[@STSYT]

As our Noise-to-Perf. Stats showed, they are definitely the loudest of them all. Unfortunately, they are not able to keep the same spot in Performance.

[@ulyssessait]

@@STSYT do you mean bionix P140 performs better than P14 & F14 counter part?

[@vincentrobin8689]

At 3:26 : in the graph, I don't understand why there is a noticeable difference between the "P14" and the "P14 ARGB". Any idea ?

[@STSYT]

Because they are different fans. They may be size-wise the same, but other than that they are quite different

[@vincentrobin8689]

@@STSYT Okay, thank you for your reply. I naively thought everything was the same except LEDs.

[@4Leka]

I don't understand how Arctic manages to make the Bionix fans worse than the regular ones. With the added rubber damping they should be better, but then they go and make the chassis worse. Why, Arctic, why?

[@Virtualize28]

can you daisy chain 2 bionix p14(intake/pull) to 2 p12 bionix for push one to the top and one to the rear?

[@STSYT]

sure, .15 amps each. As long as your cables are long enough your header will do fine

[@Virtualize28]

@@STSYT Thank you so much for the answer.

[@defalt7277]

It has 4 pin molex too if you want to connect direct to psu? cause i read it has one

[@STSYT]

No, and you shouldn't do that in general. No need to make them run at 100% 24/7 nowadays
