The Best 120mm/140mm Case Fan Shootout, feat. Arctic, BlackNoise, Noctua, and Scythe
As a follow-up to my 120mm Case Fan Shootout (https://youtu.be/WBoLyC0tSDQ), which rounded up 10 fans from various manufacturers, I've brought the best back to compete once again alongside their 140mm cousins. In this video, you'll not only see how 120mm and 140mm fans compare, you'll also hear audio samples at both 35dBA and 40dBA, plus see benchmarks for dual fans (one front, one rear) to demonstrate how each of the 140mm fans performs when in a realistic system setup.
Here are all the contenders, followed by my system setup:
(1) Arctic P12 PWM - https://amzn.to/2DsvwUJ
HUGE UPDATE! - P12 now available in an ARGB version! - https://amzn.to/3oKBS4w
(2) Arctic P14 PWM PST - https://amzn.to/324LC16
- BEST PRICE/PERFORMANCE: Arctic P14 PWM PST 5-Pack - https://amzn.to/3279vVF
UPDATE: Arctic P14 PWM now available in white! - https://amzn.to/2LvGZrf
(3) be quiet! Pure Wings 2 140mm - https://amzn.to/2KXL5b2
(4) BlackNoise NB-eLoop B12PS - https://amzn.to/2BRWTay
(5) BEST PREMIUM OPTION FOR MULTI-FAN INTAKE USE: BlackNoise NB-eLoop B14PS - https://amzn.to/3iXV2BN
Also available in an ARGB version! - https://amzn.to/2ZjcCYV
(6) Noctua NF-A14 chromax.black - https://amzn.to/3gLvk17
(7) Noctua NF-S12A chromax.black - https://amzn.to/3019MHh
(8) Scythe Kaze Flex 120 PWM - https://amzn.to/3iTJQWq
(9) BEST OVERALL and BEST EXHAUST FAN: Scythe Kaze Flex 140 PWM 1800RPM.
Note that Scythe has discontinued sales of the round frame fan I tested, which was originally designed for tower coolers. It has been replaced by the following options:
- square 1800RPM version for 140mm fan mounts (identical performance to the tested fan, and very popular, so grab it if you see it in stock!): https://amzn.to/36sM9f8
- square 1800RPM version for 140mm fan mounts with RGB lighting: https://amzn.to/3lesP9P
- round 1800RPM version for 120mm fan mount with RGB lighting: https://amzn.to/34ZkFgF
