Silverstone FHS 120X Fan Review – 4000 RPM Beast

Normalized Noise Tests

For these tests, I set the fan to speeds with noise output at the following predefined levels: 20/25/30/35/40/45 dBA. I skip the corresponding tests if the fan under the test cannot reach some noise levels. The speeds shown in the graph below are measured with the fan in a clear space inside my hemi-anechoic chamber without any obstacles. I set these speeds on the Longwin machine, but they slightly change because of the variable conditions that the device applies.

30 dBA Noise Output

Because of the double ball bearing and the fan’s design, the max RPM at 30 dBA is low. This doesn’t leave much room for increased performance.

35 dBA Noise Output

Despite the low RPM, the static pressure is competitive. this is not the case for the airflow, though.

40 dBA Noise Output

Airflow is low, but static pressure is pretty high.

45 dBA Noise Output

Airflow is lower than the competition’s results, but the static pressure is increased.
