Just received and installed the RX140 MAX non RGB fans in the bottom of my Y70 as intakes. They have built-in temp sensors. I didn't know this, as it's not listed on their product page and none of their photos show them. That's a bonus to me.
5:12 I think you are right about air speed. Your test setup specifically probably relies a lot on fast the air moves in the center. So fans that blow a lot of air towards the sides would perform worse than a smaller fan that blows the air more concentrated (meaning the air speed in the center is also higher for longer), even if it's significantly less air volume in total. Which one matters in an actual case is debatable. Though I think air volume is more important, because CPU coolers have their own fans and don't rely on case fans blowing through them. They suck the case air themselves, even if the case fans don't blow directly at them. The CPU coolers will mostly depend on how warm the case air temperature is. Which will mostly depend on how much air volume the intake fans can blow into the case.
Somewhere in between these two videos, I redid all the noise measurements. Originally, the 140s on rads were measured in a different spot ( no real reason why ) but the noise-floor was .5db higher over there. At some point I decided to re-do them where all the other fans and case-fans are measured, hence the graph changed slightly for every fan, including the minimum db. The performance (*C) are all still the same, it’s just the noise that slightly shifted. Don’t forget that both graphs also have a different start/stop points, proportions might be different. But still, a different room might yield slightly different results. I compared the two graphs you mentioned, and the bq sw4 pro became slightly better in n-t-p

I have all Arctic P14 ARGB fans in my case, I love the look and performance of the fans.
Can you do this with the 30 mm variant
Why no reverse fan from corsair?
20 bucks for a piece of wire is kind of .. brash ? .. they should throw in a swivel stand, so you can use it as a ventilator on hot summer days :D
Best exhaust case 140mm RGB fan?

You mistakenly refer to this as the 120`s in the intro. Thx for the review
Why is the P14 Max worse in the Radiator noise to performance graph this time compared to the P14 Max review?

Why do you never record the tests? It might be interesting to see the tests in real time rather than a bar graph.
Still waiting for 140 mm variant of T30.
probably early 2025
Same it's either going to be those or Noctua's gen2 NF-A14
Why is there no T30 data in any of the graphs?
Idk if corsair put cocaine in the screw baggies but man must they be some nice screws to work with. Everyone raves about them.
I think Corsair makes good pc cases but not fans :(
