Today we are going to take a look at a few fans and some more thermal paste from Coolink. The fans I will be reviewing are all from their Coolink SWiF2 series, which if you wondering stands for Silent Wisper Fan 2. I will be testing the SWiF2-120P (which means that it has PWM) the 1201 which is just a standard 3 pin case fan, as well as the 80P. As for the thermal paste this is where it begins to get different. Unlike the standard grey paste this compound is actually white and consists of nano-ceramic particles for great heat conductivity to your cooler. Let’s take a closer look at how well all of these products do.

Let’s take a look at the specs and features:

Coolink SWiF2-80P

Coolink SWiF2-1201 and 120P

• innovative 11-blade impeller design
• supports PWM fan speed control (only on the"P" models
• high-performance hydro-dynamic bearing
• protective cable sleeving
• incl. Anti-Vibration Bolts & Screws
• PWM y-split cable for connecting multiple PWM fans
• trusted Coolink quality

Coolink Chiilaramic

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°

 Thermal Compounds

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:

 So in the end every think seemed to be great. With the 120 mm fans and there 11 blades they could move some serious air and help keep things incredibly cool. The 80 mm fan would make a great addition to a small case that uses 80 mm fans or even small CPU Coolers that you can swap out the fans on. and as for as the Coolink Chillaramic goes it is currently, bar none, my favorite thermal compound to date because of its easy to use consistency and because of its amazing cooling powers.

So I guess it’s all down to me saying that these are all great products and that they are more than welcome in any build that I will be making in the future. With the SWiF2-120P mounted to my CPUI Cooler, and connected to my new fan controller (review soon to come), makes for great cooling that is simple to control. Currently I am using the SWiF-1201 as the bottom mounted cool air intake in my case. As for the fate of the SWiF2-80P, well unfortunately I didn’t have room for it but it is however currently where I work and let’s just say that before we installed a few new fans, you couldn’t stop there server from overheating. Now I saved the best for last. Simply put the Coolink Chillaramic has got to be the easiest compound that I have ever worked with that provided this much cooling.
