Stealing Noctua's quiet airflow mod

Okay I've had this turbulence issue way more times than I can count so I thought I'd share the fix for it in this quick video! btw some crazy monitors coming out in the next few weeks so stay tuned.

4:07 You can use Spectogram view, as opposed to Waveform, to better visualize specific frequencies. It can be helpful when comparing all those hums and whines, and IIRC in Audition, you can outright select part of the spectrum and play only that.

As someone who's been watching for years and owns a 3D printer I appreciate these DIY mods I can easily recreate. You already became one of the best channels in terms of testing methodology and just continue to improve and expand.❤

As someone who wears closed-back headphones 99.99% of the time I'm on my computer, I probably would never notice the difference, however I LOVE when you dive into this stuff because you do actual testing and break it down in an easy-to-consume way. Cool stuff!

I was just thinking about this on my new sub 5l watercooling build. Admittedly, it is frustrating, but I'll have to find a way to accommodate these margins, because as you found out, quality of the sound is enormous. Thanks for the quality video!

I love your videos man. As someone who does photography, it brings me satisfication seeing your videos. Perfectly executed everytime.

I have been 3D printing fan spacers like these for a few years now. Its crazy how much difference it makes to your ear just by putting a 5mm gap between the blades and the vented panels. I did all the same tests as you myself trying different thicknesses and landed on 5mm as well just by doing ear testing. I didn't have a sound meter. I just went with what sounded the best and didn't make a hassle to mount. Great work on this video putting some science to all of this. Love your work !!!

You are such an inspiration, please never stop! Perfect combination of mindset, skill, tools, and you utilize it while creating such good content. its so good.

Warning for the Americans: lots of talk in millimeters instead of washing machines per football field or whatever you guys use

You need to change the battery on your caliper in order to stop it from flashing.

Absolutely love your videos man, specially those with experiments and 3d prints, like the mice, and case cooling.... Keep up the good work man ! ❤

I love how adventurous you are with solving problems. 3D printing your own parts to fix problems is insane!!! Super inspiring bro. Keep it up! Love your content!!

rubber/silocone/plastic fan shrouds are on the market for ages . For example Phobya ,Alphacool etc . They are working perfectly . I'm also sometimes using old fans as a donors .Just cut out the middle motor/blade part and use the empty fan frame as a 25mm spacer.

Thank you SOOO much for testing this. This is a huge problem in so many cases and I can't believe noctua didn't make a universal adapter!

Hi, i'm from Brazil, and i've have learned so much about small form factor build's and building small pc's with you! Because, the quality of your videos and how you test things and explain the differences are memorable and mindful for adopt in my case, my projects.... Tks for all the work and help man!!!

quality of the content is unbelievable. I have been thinking about the same issue for so long!! Thanks man.

There have been fan spacers and shrouds for years, especially helpful for radiators to alleviate the dead spot of air that is created with the central hub not moving air compared to where the blades are. Always been a smart move but rarely utilized since availability had been low. Alphacool Monsta radiators along with HWL SR line have to-spec distancing between the core and fan itself to help with this. Being that Noctua is popularizing the idea, hopefully it'll take more hold. Glad you made a video about this.

watching your channel feels like a breath of fresh air in the current tech youtube space where everyone is pumping out awful sponsored content, keep this up 👍

Thank you my dude! This is exactly what i need. Can't wait for them to pop up on the UK Ebay

This is why I love this channel. Nobody covers small but very relevant quirks to PC building like this
