Testing:

For the testing of the Coolink SWiF2-120P I will be using it on my CPU Cooler while at the same time testing out the Coolink Chillaramic Thermal Compound.  First I will test the fan that came with my CPU Cooler and then I will remove that and mount the SWiF2-120P on my CPU Cooler and record the temps. With this new temp I will then remove the cooler and remove the thermal compound and use the Coolink Chillaramic and then again record the temps. Hopefully nobody will be confused by what I did. The ambient temp in the room will remain a constant 18°

From this we see that while the Coolink SWiF2-120P did a great job over the previous fan and that the numbers speak for themselves. The chilliramic was just edged out by a single degree by the tunic compound. While I found the Tunic-TX3 made for great cooling it was simply too hard to work with. While I did find that the Coolink Chilliramic was as easy as spreading warm butter on toast. In the end I decided to keep with the Chilliramic and will continue to use it for some time for those two simple reasons.

For the testing of the SWiF2-1201 and the 80P I will be using them as rear exhaust fans to see how much warm air they can remove from the case.

Exhaust Fans

So from these numbers we can see that these fans did really well. Some of you may think “well the SWiF2-80P didn’t do as well as the stock fan” and that’s because it’s only an 80 mm fan instead of a 120 mm.  Normally I wouldn’t have tested an 80 vs. a 120 but it would have been far too much work to install all of my components in a case that has an 80 mm fan just for one little test. Any ways like I said the 1201 did great while looking amazing in my case (the green just pops under the blue LEDs in my case) and the 80P made for a great exhaust and since it’s also a PWM fan it would make for an even better CPU Cooler fan.

Let’s move on to my final thoughts:
