Closer Look
As usual let us take a look at the packaging first
So this is the packaging of both the red and the black version, some specs at the front with a plastic so you can see the actual fans.
The here the backside of the packaging, it shows you which version you bought and some more features.
included with the fans: Obviously the Air Force fan itself, 4 screws to mount it, a 3 pin to 4 pin adaptor and a fan circulator.
Here a close up of the fan, the fans look very good and the ones with LEDs even better. Other then that, there is not much diffrence with other fans only there is an air circulator included which I will show you a bit later
This is then the red model with the LEDs, all the others with LEDs look the same (only not red then)
This is the air circulator I told you about, Aerocool claims this helps to concentrates the airflow and doing so improves the air pressure.
Performance
Now onto the testing of the fans:
For cooling my 4th gen. Intel core I5 4670K Haswell processor I am using a Corsair H100i closed loop water cooling solution. With two included Corsair 120mm fans.
So what I did: I used the Corsair Link software to set both fan speeds to 1200rpm (+/-200rpm). I took the temps at idle and at load using HyperPi. I ran HyperPi to calculate 8M digits and then I used Realtemp to measure the temperatures.
First the Corsair fans:
On Idle: 24 to 27 degrees Celsius
On load: 38 to 43 degrees Celsius
The Aerocool fans:
On Idle: 23 to 28 degrees Celsius
On load: 38 to 43 degrees Celsius
Note: I do need to mention the Corsair stock fans were fairly load and when I power on my PC the spin at full power for some seconds its like jet takes off. While withe the Aerocool fans maybe do the same they are limited to approximately 1200 rpm. So a lot quieter.
