Those Thermaltake ones do look the absolute business, loads better than the Noctua ones. Great to see that performance wise they are able to trade blows with the legendary Noctua ones, giving options to those who need premium kewling fans.
Yeah both fans are very nice. I could be happy using either in a build. I know that most folks aren't a big fan (no pun intended) of the two tone brown color of the Noctua fans, but they look nice to me. It's all about the airflow. Thanks for sharing Mike and Lady Kath. Take care all. Cheers.
Great build quality and prefer thermaltake's colours to noctua. So if same colour its an easy win imo. Only question is why put resistance cable inline wasting energy rather than simple lower the fan speed curve? Doesnt make sense imo! Thanks for comparison Mike & Kath 🐈👍
As always love your content. Just noticed at 2:10, the sticker on the back of the hub indicates 0.70AMP and at 3:30, Thermaltake specs indicate a rated current of 0.19A . Thermaltake's website also indicates a current of 0.19A for the specifications but the photos for the fan show the same sticker with 0.70AMP.
yeah i noticed that as well, i am going to assume the higher number is right when calculating the total amps on a circuit. But i will check in with TT for the facts
@@johnc0817 Hi. The rating of 0.70amp on the rear of the fan is the rated safety amp. the Toughfan pro only pulls 0.19amp at full speed. We declare all safety rated amps on the back of all of our fans
Wow!l could swing across our local canal with that cable.Great looking fans,far nicer than the ugly looking Noctua offerings.Great review Mike 👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This Thermaltake model was tested on a special machine and made to order. This machine is known as "Long Win LW-9266 Fan PQ performance measuring device". It measures various parameters in PC fans more accurately. According to the Thermaltake brand, this Toughfan 12 Pro model promises to offer 70.8 CFM, static pressure of 3.19 and noise of 22.6 dB(A). In the tests carried out, this model presented 65.08 CFM, static pressure of 2,60 mmAq and noise with 30.7 dB(A). 8.08% lower airflow (within the acceptable ±10%) and 18.50% lower pressure. Sorry my English please. Hugs from Brazil
Hi for me Mike.. the Noctua stil has a beter sound at the high rpm Range- for 120 mm fan they still to expensive, 3x you still close to 100 euros madness
Did look it up. from where i order. Noctua NF-P14s redux-1500 PWM 140mm grey = Drehzahlbereich: max. 450 - 1500 rpm. max. ~ 79 cfm (134.2 m³/h) @ 25.8 dB = 17,50 €. Thermaltake Toughfan 14 black = Drehzahlbereich: max. 500 - 2000 rpm. max. ~ 58 cfm (98.54 m³/h) @ 22.3 dB = 18,45 €. I'm still a Noctua Fanboy. Mike's Special Investigation (MSI) is Worthy of a Support comment. Like & a share 🙂
I'm gonna purchase a mobo for my ryzen 3 3200g and gtx 1660 super, but I'm confused between asrock b450m pro4, gigabyte b450m ds3h v2 and asus prime b450-A ll , can you maybe pick one for me

Good point! some people are just lazy
Wow.. A wire lenght that would have saved me some extender in my big case.. 👍
yeah the thermaltake fans always seem to do really long cables
@@mikesunboxing They do big cases, so they know 😉
Yep! @@patricklebel1141

and I still had to buy Noctuas. Could not resist. But i bought the NF-A12x25, they are simply the best. So quiet and powerful.

it does really come down to price and what you have already. Noctua still doing really well, but others are catching up
@@mikesunboxing I hope others will catch up. so all of us can get some great fans 😀
Crap Joke Friday: What did the horse say after it tripped? Help! I’ve fallen and I can’t giddyup!
wow
hahahahaaaaa

what are the prices? i would be edging towards the Asrock myself
CRAP JOKE FRIDAY !!!!!
Why can't you hear a pterodactyl using the bathroom? Because the P is silent !
lol unlike me in morning parp!
ahahaa
Literally unusable. Those thermaltake cables are too short.
Very nice however, no AGB no deal.
Fair enough! i understand completely
phanteks do "Halo" argb ring attachments which solve that problem for almodt every non-argb fan. Though adds thickness.
