Worlds LOUDEST fan - Fan Showdown S2E13

so here we are back back again for yet another fan showdown you guys said you couldn't get enough so here is me testing that comment also the chip shortage is wow uh it could be like a year or more before we do any more pc builds on the channel i just i just got no gpus but no worries we don't need any chips to test more of your fan designs and the amount that you guys have sent me i could make this series daily until like the heat death of the universe so we better get cracking today's video is sponsored by antec are you looking for a case with great ventilation for your next pc build might i recommend the df700 flux from antec the df700 flux is a midtower gaming case that comes well equipped and has tons of ventilation that front panel there yeah that's all mesh not only that but the df700 flux comes with five fans three of which are rgb and one is even a reverse fan to make sure that your gpu is never choked for air equipped with a tempered glass side panel built-in led and pwm fan controller this case has space for any type of build that you plan air or water and not only that it'll look good doing it so check the link in the description below to pick up a df700 flux for your next build and thank you to antec for sponsoring this video but before that we should probably answer one thing that i seen came up a whole bunch after last video and if you didn't see last video it was about this beauty this is the tick tock clock fan and it was made by old big brain kyle and this thing's outstanding for real if you didn't see that video you should probably go check it out after this one but definitely worth the watch it was very it was fascinating now while reading through the comments on that video i did notice that one comment kind of popped up more than once and that question was does the rpm or did the rpm increase after running the fan for 20 minutes on the stress test that's a good question you got me thinking so we're going to find out yeah yeah i did after running 20 minutes of the ida 64 stress test if you remember the original rpm this ran was 1400 but after basically running in the fan it now runs much smoother and quicker at 1 672 rpm and also on a final side note if you think that you can top or one up the tick tock clock fan i do invite you to put on your thinking cap if you remember that saying from back in the day get subscribed and send over whatever kind of crazy big brain idea you have to the fan showdown at gmail.com and i will say after seeing this masterpiece i find myself browsing through the submissions at work on lunch way more than i ever used to just trying to make sure that nothing fantastic slips through the crack and if it's something mind-melting enough i'll print it out and we'll make another special okay that's uh that's that's a that's enough rambling i i honestly feel dirty for saying get subscribed but well speaking of the tick tock clock fan if you remember how loud it was when we were running all those tests you'll know that it's it was one of the loudest fans that i've ever tested on the fan showdown and i say was because if tebow has anything to say about that he plans to make my ears bleed after 20 minutes of testing his creation so this is the mermaid symphony and it was created by like i said tebow and first off let's get one thing straight it's clear you're going for sound first and cooling second in that order because this is a siren all all day long tebow let's take a let's take a minute to think about what you've done here you've taken one of the most well-known high-performance quiet cooling fans on the market and you've totally ruined it and i love it i guess i shouldn't say roon because i mean it's it still might perform well but i can almost guarantee that it's not going to be quiet anymore i've been down this road before i kind of know where it leads and that's tinnitus and don't worry tebow knows this he even said this is my version of hopefully a really loud fan my goal is to design a siren with maybe a tiny bit of cooling performance also the best part is he even like included some disclaimers at the bottom of his emails saying cooling performance not guaranteed untested product could cause hearing damage and severe mental disorder most likely a great disappointment for unmatched expectations oh joy well from ear shattering sadness to mesmerizing joy here comes ben with his fan snowflake pretty good huh he kind of nailed it on design if i do say so myself with this beauty ben wrote my generation is often called snowflakes hopefully proving that snowflakes are great fans will go some way in improving our reputation can't fault you for trying i think i'm uh when is the uh just curious if i'm in that generation well from one disturbance to another here's chris and his fan turbulence he also went ahead and titled his email not a meme fam just just to make sure now the turbulence might look like a standard run-of-the-mill fan that we've seen many times on the fan showdown but if you look closer this is something we haven't seen before and probably for good reason but that being said you don't know it doesn't work if you don't try it now at the center of the fan the blades are pretty standard for the direction that the a12 x25 spins but if you look around the ring you may notice something different there's actually two rings in between those two rings is another set of fan blades and those blades are designed to push the air rather than pull it and if you're still a bit confused don't worry chris included a graphic to help illustrate so boom also there's a method to chris's madness he actually gave me three reasons why this might work but my favorite is number one by creating a small air current angled outward on the outside of the fan i hope to create an impenetrable wall that the smoke cannot pass chris has seen the smoke test and he says no not on my watch so who will win the halloween fog machine or the turbulent fan now last on the docket today is another new never seen before idea this is the skeleton and it was created by archer and what he's done is pretty interesting he's moved the fan hub from the center to the midpoint of the fan disc he did this he said to maximize airflow to the hub he also incorporated two sets of fan blades one set sweeps backwards and the other sweeps forwards also as a bonus the skeleton was like super easy to print which i do appreciate in the sound department the skeleton came in at 46.3 dba the snowflake came in at 45.7 dba the turbulence came in at 49.6 dba and the mermaid symphony came in with an ear shattering 87.5 dba meaning that tebow was successful in his endeavors his goal of creating the loudest fan to date was founded problem for me is i still have to listen to it for 20 minutes and it's gonna be a nightmare but before that let's see how all these guys especially the turbulence fair in the smoke test can it create the wall that it speaks of to block all the smoke [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] well in the end halloween fog machine one turbulence zero but that being said if you look really closely at the the smoke machine footage or the fog machine footage you will see that at the edge of this fan the air is actually moving outward like chris had planned but just not just not enough of it to make the wall that he wanted when it comes to cooling the turbulence came in with an average temperature of 78.8 at a room temperature of 18.9 giving us a delta of 59.9 the mermaid symphony was a horrible experience for 20 minutes but it did manage to keep the system under control coming in with an average temperature of 86.6 at a room temperature of 18.6 giving us a delta of 68. the snowflake came in with an average temperature of 76 at a room temperature of 18.9 giving us a delta of 57.1 and the skeleton came in with an average temperature of 75.5 at a room temperature of 19.1 giving us a delta of 56.4 putting the skeleton in first place the snowflake in second place the turbulence in third and the mermaid symphony in fourth but you know what's even better is that although the mermaid symphony obviously didn't do very well in the performance it nailed the sound test but it's not last overall it actually finished 52nd which isn't good but that's not last and again as always thank all of you for watching this video thank you even more if you've sent me a fan design to test for upcoming episodes it's just it's a lot of fun other than listen to that it's a lot of fun and if you
