  1. Hi, I got a Phanteks Enthoo 719 and it will be mounted a i9 139000K and a rtx 3070TI , I wonder what would be the best configuration for the FANs and the CPU cooling since this system will stay on high cpu usage for days (I use it also for math calculations that takes days)

  2. Thank you for an enjoyable video that brings back some memories about qualifying fans as a system integrator/seller back in the day.

    They look nice, but there's no way I'm paying a premium for these frills. It's very important to me to have high quality fans, but as a (former) system seller, I was getting fans in bulk and never paid over $5 per fan, for Panasonic, NMB, Sanyo, Delta, an occasional Sunon, etc. I have never had any of the fans I put in systems, fail before the system was retired. Most of the noise I encountered was not the fans themselves but rather caused by the immediately adjacent heatsink, or perforated case fan mounts. On my own personal use systems, I cut those perforated case screens out, but customers I kept them in because it looked more finished that way.

    However, I do really like and appreciate the 3 point toggle switch on those BeQuiets, except that these days, a typical fan header will have RPM control. Back before they did, I literally made several different setups to control the fan speed (before fan controllers were a thing), including a series of diodes, resistors, rheostats, and ultimately the more common solution was just a 10 cent, 2W resistor in series and testing at the system max TDP to ensure that was enough. Long time ago, glade to not have had to do that for ~15+ years.

    I have to disagree that the hubs don't get bigger on the motor, just depends on whether buying the cheaply built-for-PCs fans, or buying industrial grade fans like the Sanyos I've used. Their hubs are much bigger even on many of their 120mm models.

    Lastly, I am not too worried about some air escaping. If you try to block the paths of least resistance for this small amount of air, you create more turbulence, and slow the fan down at any particular voltage or (resistor set as with fixed speed or that switch on the BeQuiet) drive current, so it flows a little less air too, a higher noise to airflow ratio. I'm not suggesting they have bad noise to airflow ratio at all, certainly the opposite but it is mostly a marketing angle. Even blow-by air, helps to move the exhaust air through a heatsink further along its path to case exit points. Blowing around an object, creates a low pressure zone and suction through it too.

    The flow you were measuring, has a lot to do with how the blades were optimized, for free air flow or static pressure, especially when using a reduction tube. Each has their place. Max free air rating is better when your case looks like swiss cheese because you have more fans and fan mount holes than you really needed, but that can help with redundancy, system can stay running if any one particular fan fails (even one in the PSU if the system is set up well with positive pressurization, which I like to do for a filtration setup). Of course, all bets are off if you have set the system up with minimal margins trying to make it absolutely as quiet as possible, but that is where the active temp vs fan throttling circuits on modern GPU, CPU, and case fan headers comes into play.

  3. Always seen RGB as the most well, rudely put loser requirement on a pc, see it as extra draw and more failure points and added heat, if it makes you happy do it though.

    I just like my parts to do the best they can while being as clean as possible, I'd avoid a gpu or cpu that came with rgb lights.

  4. Man I been on bequiet products so long that I had to put phanteks halos rgb fan frames on them to bling them up. Love that they have rgb now sucks to not see it offered on the silent wings.

  5. Cougar Gaming fans have been using these vortex shedding designs for just a little longer than Be Quiet started making fans. They have been my go to for a long time with a fluid dynamic bearing.

  6. Jay, do you have any insight on BeQuiets Case development? I currently have a LianLi O11Xl and I love that the PSU is in a seperate compartment, away from the bottom and not polluting the whole case with heat. But I do very much miss the straight front installation instead of the sideways installation for fans/radiators. And also I don't need/want a window I want a silent case that already is dampened like BeQuiets DarkBase 900 – which I had before the LianLi. I would so much love a new "Dark Anything" Case by them, that simply steals the idea of putting away the PSU "in the back" but otherwise keeps the silent and standard fan order as it is. But the only copycats that did something like LianLi also made it with those huge glasspanels and the sideways fan intake.

    I mean, BeQuiet has released the DarkBase 900 ages ago – at least 5 years now. Isn't there something new, for the high-end tier comming? Do you know something?
