I really appreciate that. I do see my testing as still having room to grow. I want to add a few more tests in the future when I'm finally in a place to over hall my testing to version3.
Bought two arctic p14 max fan for my lian li lancool 205m case. Installed these instead of 2x front intake stock lian li 140 mm fans and there was temperature drop 4 celcius on cpu, 5 celcius on GPU in 29 celcius ambient temperature. Also my case has dust filter in front of intake fans. Impressive performance and not so loud. I strongly recommend these fans for your case.
I completely agree. I'm trying to not go broke though. I'm finally getting small $$ from monetization and patrons and youtube members are helping. I'm thinking of getting one soon to just add to testing but probably wont go back thru and retest everything this time. When i do Rev3 of my testing method I'll attempt to retest all the fans to this point. I want to be the definitive source on PC fans. haha
Wow, just wow, always wondered when Arctic will release a 140mm P12 max, and now that they finally did, I am not disappointed. I'm seriously considering buying a bunch of them, but trying hard to justify spending money for that many fans :D
The sample I got from my purchase was very impressive. I just dont know if its the norm. I wish I was in a place with this channel to buy multiple fans of a type to try to get some kind of statistic on it. But all things are pointing to it being good.
and I'm a little disappointed, because I love the double ball bearing. Yes, it is a little bit noisier (although I would say you can't hear it in the case behind the airflow), but they are almost eternal, and FDM is a couple of years if you're not lucky and a few if you're lucky.
Very nice video! I am curious as to how the fans sound when it comes to the bearings? I've seen talks about the P12 Max's having some issues with buzzing and high pitched noise. Did you experience any of that with the P14 Max? Oh and, I think adding chapters to your videos would make for a better user experience on the viewers end. Easier to jump to relevant chapters.
Chapters. I have time stamps. in the description. I guess ill have to look into how to do chapters. I thought adding time stamps kind of did that. About the bearring No it uses and FDB (fluid dynamic bearing) the original P12max used ad dual ball bearing. I have a video up with the new P12Max that has an FDB bearing. can say no buzzing or bearing sounds I could hear. just the sound of air moving
@@computer-tech-more Ay thanks for the reply! Got a 5pack ordered. Here's hoping I don't have any noise issues, as I am specifically buying them to reduce the noise of my stock Fractal case fans. At least the performance is great from what I can see in both your and others' reviews.
It would be nice if you could extend the noise profile test you did at 6:00 but at different speeds and during speed change. If you can make this sound comparisons cfm normalized vs. other fans it would be very helpful. Other than that great work!
hmm I'll have to start doing that in Rev3 of my testing. I basically dont do other PWM than 100% unless I notice an oddity on the sound the fan makes. I have an upcoming video where I do just that. The P14 Max sound profile was very smooth. Sounding.
Exactly the comparisons I was looking for. Thanks! A 3d visual of noise vs CFM vs price would be nice, since I'm looking for fans to build a filter box. So I'd want to know how loud it is at a required CFM. And how much it would cost to achieve that.
wow. I do plots in excel I think thats an option. But I have not used it. Ill play around with it for future videos. If it looks like nonsense Ill have to keep it out though.
I have a lot on my to do list. I have a bunch from ICOLER, Silverstone, Valkyrie and more. If LianLi would send me a sample it would be closer to the front of my to do list.
Hello, I read somewhere that these fans cant really go below 900rpm stable, is that true? And are they quiet at that speed? When im just browsing or smthng like that I want dont want to hear my pc all the time, thanks
@@computer-tech-more tyvm for answering, I have one more question though, im getting 3x p12 max for my radiator and want to get 4 p14 max for the rest of my case but does it even help to get the max version for just case fans? in terms of noise and / or temps I mean
I already buy 5 of them for my new case. Tho i already installed one of them on exhaust on my old case (placeholder until my new xase arrived)bc clearly my old case has insufficient exhaust. That p14 max fan alone improved the situation quite a bit (original included 140mm in the case is quite terrible)
@@computer-tech-more just the fans on my artic 280mm aio only go up to 1700 rpm could do with higher rpm as keeping a'nice toasty i7 13700kf cool but want that little bit more
@computer-tech-more just an update theys 140mm p14 fans are amazing with artic 280mm rad keeping my beasty i7 13700kf. 9°c cooler with the standard ones off the cooler are no good as they was sending my cpu near the danger zone
that sweet. I still see ways this fan could be better but it would drive up that cost. so for its price just WOW. how many did you get? pretty consistent noise wise?
@@computer-tech-moreonly one, so consistency is 100% :) It is quieter than my 120x38mm 5000rpm dell server fan, but also doesn't really deliver as much static preassure. That thing can suck air through a concrete block.
@@computer-tech-moreI bought 3 more after seeing your noise normalized results to make an arctic liquid freezer II 420 MAX. It lowered the noise at regular usage and brought the max temp down by almost 4 degrees. All fans sound the same.
Ill eventually make another round up video for the best of the best. I just havent gotten to it yet. The P14max rates better compared to ther 140's than the P12max compares to other 120's. but both are good fans.
ya dB. I like sone personally. it makes a lot of sense once you understand it, but very few things are listed in Sone so its like the average person doesn't know what it is.
hmm I dont know. I assume in their review they disassembled the fan? You can riffle a FDB bearing. I think. The riffling is there to help keep the fluid from settling in one spot of the bearing. I am not an expert at bearing. I am more aerospace so the blade design. So take my understanding of the bearing as a grain of salt.
Well I am a small channel with out a dedicated test system. So I cant do temps. I have been building up the money from patron and youtube to save up to buy a test system for this channel.
voice audio is really annoying. fix ur mic and dont ever start off a video the way you did. i cant watch more than i can stand to even type this comment
Loved this video mate. I think your fan testing is the best out there.

One suggestion I'd give you is to keep a permanent link in the description to the testing methodology
ok I can do that.

Why havent you tested the UNI 140 TL from LL
I have a lot on my to do list. I have a bunch from ICOLER, Silverstone, Valkyrie and more.

Hello, I read somewhere that these fans cant really go below 900rpm stable, is that true? And are they quiet at that speed? When im just browsing or smthng like that I want dont want to hear my pc all the time, thanks
these do have a higher minimum RPM around 900-1000. I found them to be very quiet at those speeds though. only noisy past 1400. IMO

@@anass8525 so the P14max would be overkill for case fans but if you run them at 1000 rpm would be very quiet.
I already buy 5 of them for my new case.

Can you use theys on a aio and would it be ok to splitter them ? Just the 2 tho to one header
You should be fine using 2 of these on one fan header. but i wouldnt do more than that.
yes it would work well on an AIO

I assume you want performance thru a cooler? the P14Max was a chart topper. So its my current best.
I chose not to wait for noctua with this, and shoved it into my server. And I am very happy with the result!
that sweet. I still see ways this fan could be better but it would drive up that cost. so for its price just WOW.

Can i use them in front of my panel to intake airflow ?
so push air thru a filter. Yes. This is one of the best 140mm fans i tested.
@@computer-tech-more THX so much
Thank you for your very detailed review ! Do you think you will do a review of p12 m and p14 m compared to the best 120mm and 140mm brand ?
Ill eventually make another round up video for the best of the best. I just havent gotten to it yet. The P14max rates better compared to ther 140's than the P12max compares to other 120's. but both are good fans.
are your graphs db or db(a)
im assuming db right? would be very cool to have db dba and sone to get a general picture/score
ya dB. I like sone personally. it makes a lot of sense once you understand it, but very few things are listed in Sone so its like the average person doesn't know what it is.
@@computer-tech-more I've seen sone a lot and ironically learned about db and dba later on
hardware busters said that the p14 max claims it uses FDBs but actually uses rifle bearings. Is this true?
hmm I dont know. I assume in their review they disassembled the fan? You can riffle a FDB bearing. I think. The riffling is there to help keep the fluid from settling in one spot of the bearing.
I am not an expert at bearing. I am more aerospace so the blade design.
So take my understanding of the bearing as a grain of salt.
But how does the P14 Max compare to the P14 A-RGB, which itself is already much better than the normal P14?
I haven't tested the RGB version of the P14, so i cant really say. The max is quiet a lot better than the regular P14
@@computer-tech-more Good to know, thanks.
Is this better than the p12 max?
If your looking between the 2 yes I like the P14max better.

Excellent - been looking at this fan for a large E-ATX case in the front intake and this will do just fine especially given the low price.
