Coolink SWiF2 Fan Series Review

Test Setup

Here at eTeknix we always like to test products very thoroughly and today is no exception.

Test System:

  • AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition
  • Asus M4A785TD-M Evo
  • Crucial 4GB DDR3 1600 MHz
  • OCZ Vertex II 60GB SSD
  • Cooler Master Silencio Case + 600W PSU

Hardware Used:

  • Sound Level Meter

Software Used:

  • HWMonitor
  • Prime95
  • Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit

For this test we will try to benchmark the Coolink 120mm standard fan against one of its competitiors, the Nexus Real Silent Basic Series which have proven to be fairly popular. We will be using the Akasa Venom as a heatsink, and replacing the Akasa Viper fan with a single Nexus 120mm and then a Coolink 120mm fan.

The max RPM comparisons of the fans:

  • Akasa Viper (120mm): 1800 RPM
  • Nexus 120mm : 1100 RPM (rated at 1000 RPM)
  • Coolink 120mm: 1200 RPM
  • Coolink 120mm: 1700 RPM

We will be testing these three fans with the CPU overclocked to 4.0 GHz by adjusting the CPU multiplier and increasing the voltage to keep it stable. We will let the computer idle for10 minutes and record this temperature and then run the stresstesting program Prime 95 for a full 20 minutes before recording this final temperature. This test will be repeated twice more to achieve a good average.

At all times we will aim to keep the room temperature and on this occasion at a constant 22 degrees C.
