Building a powerful system like this one requires careful consideration of every component, from the CPU and memory to the cooling and power supply. One aspect that is often overlooked but can make a significant difference is the fan selection.

When it comes to building a system like this, having multiple fans installed is crucial for maintaining optimal airflow and temperatures. However, with so many options available in the market, choosing the right fans can be overwhelming. In our experience, using high-quality fans from reputable manufacturers such as Noctua has made a significant difference in the overall performance of the system.

In particular, we've found that the Noctua NF-F12 iPPC-200 PWM fan is an excellent choice for this build. With its sleek design and tight tolerances, it's able to provide excellent airflow while keeping noise levels down. We've also been impressed with the flexibility of the fan's settings, allowing us to adjust the speed to suit our needs.

One of the key benefits of using a fan like the Noctua NF-F12 iPPC-200 PWM is its ability to maintain optimal temperatures even during prolonged stress tests. This is particularly important for systems that are running at high clock speeds, as it helps to prevent overheating and ensure smooth operation. By using this fan, we've been able to achieve impressive results in our stress testing, including a significant reduction in noise levels.

Of course, there are many other fans available on the market that could also be used for this build. However, when considering factors such as performance, noise level, and compatibility, it's hard to beat the Noctua NF-F12 iPPC-200 PWM. Its ability to provide excellent airflow while keeping noise levels down makes it an ideal choice for systems that require high-performance cooling.

In addition to the NF-F12 iPPC-200 PWM, we've also found that using multiple fans with different speeds can be beneficial for achieving optimal airflow and temperatures. By installing multiple fans, we're able to create a more complex airflow pattern that helps to dissipate heat more effectively. This is particularly important in systems like this one, which requires high levels of cooling to maintain optimal performance.

One strategy we've found useful is to install three fans at different speeds. The first fan, such as the NF-F12 iPPC-200 PWM, provides a slow and steady airflow rate that helps to cool the system's core components. The second fan, installed at a higher speed, provides a boost of airflow that helps to accelerate cooling. And finally, the third fan, installed at an even higher speed, provides a final burst of airflow that helps to dissipate heat from the system's most critical components.

By using this strategy, we've been able to achieve impressive results in our stress testing, including significant reductions in temperatures and noise levels. This is particularly important for systems like this one, which require high levels of cooling to maintain optimal performance.

In addition to fan selection, there are many other factors that can affect the overall performance and noise level of a system like this. One such factor is the radiator, which plays a critical role in dissipating heat from the system's components. In our experience, using a high-quality radiator like the Corsair Hydro series has made a significant difference in the overall performance of the system.

Another important consideration is the fan curve, which allows us to adjust the speed of the fans based on the system's temperature and load. By adjusting the fan curve, we're able to optimize airflow and cooling for our specific use case, resulting in improved performance and reduced noise levels.

In terms of the motherboard, we've found that using a fan curve adjustment feature is essential for achieving optimal results. Many motherboards offer this feature, which allows us to adjust the speed of the fans based on the system's temperature and load. By using this feature, we're able to optimize airflow and cooling for our specific use case, resulting in improved performance and reduced noise levels.

Of course, there are many other factors that can affect the overall performance and noise level of a system like this. One such factor is the power supply, which provides the necessary power to support all of the system's components. In our experience, using a high-quality power supply like the EVGA 1000 Watt SuperNOVA power supply has made a significant difference in the overall performance of the system.

Finally, it's worth noting that building a system like this one requires careful planning and consideration of every component. From the CPU and memory to the cooling and power supply, every part plays a critical role in achieving optimal performance and noise levels. By taking the time to carefully select each component and configure the system for optimal airflow and cooling, we've been able to achieve impressive results in our stress testing, including significant reductions in temperatures and noise levels.

Overall, building a powerful system like this one requires careful planning and consideration of every component. By selecting high-quality components and configuring the system for optimal airflow and cooling, we're able to achieve impressive results in our stress testing, resulting in improved performance and reduced noise levels.

When it comes to specific components, there are many factors that can affect the overall performance and noise level of a system like this. One such factor is the CPU, which plays a critical role in determining the system's overall performance. In our experience, using a high-quality CPU like the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X has made a significant difference in the overall performance of the system.

Another important consideration is the memory, which provides the necessary RAM for the system to operate at optimal levels. In our experience, using high-quality memory kits like the Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB (2x32GB) DDR4 RAM has made a significant difference in the overall performance of the system.

Of course, there are many other factors that can affect the overall performance and noise level of a system like this. One such factor is the storage, which provides the necessary space for the system to store its operating system and applications. In our experience, using high-quality storage drives like the Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 NVMe SSD has made a significant difference in the overall performance of the system.

In conclusion, building a powerful system like this one requires careful planning and consideration of every component. By selecting high-quality components and configuring the system for optimal airflow and cooling, we're able to achieve impressive results in our stress testing, resulting in improved performance and reduced noise levels.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso Noctua has a new fan this thing the NF a 12 X 25 pwm that's available in three different variants I've got all three and actually I even ordered an extra one nacho sent me these two tests because I was like hey I've got my workstation which we'll learn more about in a second and it's kind of loud sometimes but it's a thread Ripper so got any ideas for me and they said well we've got some new fans we'll send you the new fans and it turns out they're actually pretty good so I picked up another few fans from Newegg to put in my thread Ripper system running a four point one gigahertz which is a little bit of another clock a little bit of heat so let's dive in and take a look alright so first up the system what are we working with this is in the leanly PCO 11 this is the one that's designed for water cooling and I guess most people would probably do a custom loop water cooler or something like that I'll get the inner mac slick tech 360 which is you know a tr4 design the cooler the hot plate covers the whole thing and with that cooler I find that you know all core overclocks with thread Ripper just a little bit easier because you can dump a ton of power and thread Ripper it gets crazy hot the one problem is when the system is under load it does get kind of loud and my systems on my desk doing some hacking doing some hacking on thunderbolt get thunderbolt working on thread Ripper turns out that's probably not gonna be a thing because Intel well that's gonna be in a different video but yeah i'll Pineridge timing interface to the motherboard it's the thing this is the gigabyte designee rex 399 i'm using for that project if 32 gigs of these feel trodden z samsung b dot DVR for 3,200 running this thing right now I've got a a strict fury in here asus strix fury but also get to Vega 64 and just for giggles a 690 a gtx 692 the fan sent me which is actually two six 80s on one card so thank you for that that was a lot of fun come on 500 gigabyte intel i paint in here because developer station and compiling things goes really fast with that you kind of see I've already got one not to a cooler here in the bottom which helped my temperatures a lot because it was bringing cold air in from the bottom so you know it's sort of the the flesh tone color which maybe doesn't go with the rest of the color scheme but I do have some hundred twenty millimeter that are the two-tone gray which I think we'll probably go pretty well with this build this whole system is also powered by see sonic 1000 watt power supply which gives me all the power I need to run whatever configuration of hardware I need for whatever particular project I'm packing on today now subjectively what are my thoughts so far well first off inside the flap on every fan and also on the knoxville website they actually published the figures for their fans or how much airflow cubic meters per hour and the static pressure that you can expect for the different models of the different rpms depending up how it goes and so you may be thinking we'll wait there's three different models well there's a three pin and a four pin version of the new you can I mean you can you can visually tell the new fan there's three different versions to four pin versions in one three pin version there's one for conversion version that is a extra low noise and there's a three pin version such as a DC instead of PWM for speed control the ultra-low noise version comes with an ultra note ultra-low noise adapter that you can use in line with your ear for pen adapter so one of the reasons that Noctua says this 120 millimeter fan can perform as good as 140 millimeter fan is because of the clearance the fan blades and the fan hub are insanely close it's like a 0.5 millimeter clearance and because of that less air can escape around the edges of the fan so whatever pressure this fan creates is not lost to that gap and so they actually sell 120 to 140 adapters that you can use so if you've got like a 180 millimeter closed loop cooler you can use these adapters to mount your 120 millimeter fan on your 140 millimeter closed-loop radiator with like while keeping an air seal so you maintain the air pressure that's what this does and you get the view get two of them to a box and some sound dampening rubber mount or things these are brown these are also available in different colors you can get red green blue black white whatever same with the rubberized colors get these chrome axe things that you can get like here's a box of red ones so it could go with your color scheme you can mix and match colors it's a thing you can get colored not your fans it's totally a thing in my case the brown ones aren't gonna bother me because as you can see all you see is radiator on this side the brown fans are gonna be on the other side you can't see it it's inside the case so who cares what color it is if you're worried about the gasket seal of the fans so like the little rubber maybe the little gap that these rubber corners create is not great so what's the thing that sent me on this quest this change why would I even bother changing it it's fine fans of fan long as the fans keeping it cool it doesn't matter right for a lot of people I'd say that's true I mean I'd say that's fair the noxious stuff it's expensive it really is and there's no way around it but that doesn't mean that it's not a good product but it's not exactly what it says it is I don't think that there's any any real like in the testing that I've done in terms of like the claims that nacho makes seems accurate which is impressive the level of engineering they've gone into their fans meaning that is actually honestly very impressive do most people need that a lot of people don't need that but I kind of wanted it because this is a really high-end system it's expensive I've put a lot of money into it I use this to earn more money and do stuff and work on things and all sorts of stuff like that so it's like well he's kind of annoying sometimes but this this was the thing that was driving me crazy so I've started to load on that can you hear it it's starting to take off it'll get quite a bit louder the inter Mac Slick Tech fans there's nothing wrong with them that are not bad fans they're actually pretty good especially for being you know bundled with a closed-loop cooler because most of the money most of the budget for that is gonna go into the pump and the engineering and all the other stuff the fans in that are actually pretty good if you have this problem with your system the first place I would suggest you go is not to bind new fans is to go into the UEFI and adjust your fan profile curves if you heard the fan speed sort of slowly ramp up over about five or six seconds by default I think the fan speed sort of rents up over one second and so it can be really super annoying if your machine goes from like quiet - chainsaw - quiet - chainsaw - quacks chainsaw over the period of a second it's much much less annoying trust me with the fan profile curve set to ramp up over five seconds but then you think back and it's like well you know when thread ripper launch involved while there is this temperature offset thing over the previous eight and now you know why the temperature offset is to give you some Headroom in terms of when the processor needs more cooling and when the the fans actually take off because there's an inertia there and so I've made the inertia much worse by going from one second to five seconds but with a big giant closed loop cooler you know maybe it doesn't matter as much because you've got that thermal response time in all of the liquid and all of the radiator that goes with the cooler so unlike at our cool because like at our cooler we get really hot really faster than the fans ramp up and do stuff well with a liquid cooler it's gonna take a long time of the computer running at a really high speed for the heat to soak into the radiator and to soak into the whole cooling mechanism so in that lie seven seconds is really not like a terrible a terrible contact I'd like that's really not terrible for what's going on it just depends on the cooling so before you buy fans going you a five and adjust your fan curves first and it's a little different from UEFI the UEFI but pretty much all boards whether you're you know team Raider Team Blue have that fan curve adjustment thing in the UEFI at least all the enthusiasts towards the lower end boards not so much now for my own experiments I've got one of each kind of fan installed I think in this scenario I would recommend just get the PWM or possibly possibly the ultra-low noise version maybe for my use case ultra-low noise maybe I jumped the gun already ordering another PWM on Newegg but I figure with the ultra-low or it's kind of bundled low noise adapter and you know going down to 1700 rpm with the low noise adapter and then still having fan control on the motherboard I think PWM is gonna be fine for me alright so this is just my first boot with only the radiator fans installed I've removed all the other fans and I'm running the stress test it is shockingly quieter putting my hand in front of the radiator it feels I mean I can feel a lot of airflow flowing through the radiator and I can hear the finding the fans are on now again it's worth noting that the old inner max fans they're pretty good fans they're 500 to 2,300 rpm fans and they're manufactured with pretty tight tolerances as well they've got no rubber sound dampening things in the corners there's you know the baffle doesn't get quite as close around the outside edges but the fan blades are pretty close to the outside edges you can see a little bit of wobble you know when you move to move the fan around it and that sort of thing but it's shocking how much quieter the Noctua fans are at a similar rpm you know in the in the fan monitoring software when these fans are ramping up they were still only ramping up around 16 1700 rpm and at 2,000 rpm the FLX fan is quieter than the in the inner max fan at around 15 1600 rpm which is I mean that's what nokju has done it again I can't believe it I'm recommended fans that look like this now again I don't I don't think these are everybody I mean you know you're not gonna build a risin five with the Vega and then spend you know a couple of hundred dollars on fans but if you're spending $5,000 on a workstation like this one might be worth considering now not just the new you know the new fans we've also got these available in black and two-tone gray and they're sort of different depending on what you want what you want to do I'm gonna mount these in there as well now this is a 1200 rpm fan so this is gonna be quieter as well 120 millimeter I've got enough room to come out three in the top probably just gonna mount two in the top for now gets it gets a little close with the hoses and I'm gonna put a 120 millimeter one in the bottom maybe I'll put a black one in the bottom or possibly maybe one of my old inner max fans I'm not sure I've got enough I've got enough of the two tones I've got one black one from another project so I think I've got enough not to a fans to really finish this out so I think I'm gonna go for now I'm Windell I'm signing out and if you want
