High cooling efficiency is the foundation, but with the BioniX P14 A-RGB fans, Arctic has also made efforts on other fronts. In addition to the clever daisy-chaining method (with the aim of reducing cabling to a minimum), this includes, for example, illumination as intense as possible. The light is guided not only through the entire impeller, but also through the surface of the frame, from the side. There are light guides in these areas as well.

* When reading performance metrics, always account for a certain tolerance. For maximum RPM, a ±10% variance is typically noted, while minimum RPM can vary significantly from unit to unit—sometimes manufacturers even allow for ±50%. This must also be properly factored into airflow, static pressure, and noise level values. If a table cell lists only one value, it always refers to a situation at maximum RPM achieved at 12 V or 100% PWM duty cycle. The lower performance limits are not disclosed by the manufacturer in such cases. The price in the final column is always indicative only.
** Price is calculated per unit, but the fan is not sold individually. It is only available as part of a three-pack that also includes an ARGB hub.
And next time, shall we do the Seasonic MaxFlow fan? 🙂
Me again. Still none of tables do show up. Instead only error messages show. I did check using three devices and two different browsers. Only your newest Arctic BioniX test is affected.
Could you please give me some examples of pages where the charts aren’t displaying correctly? I’ll take a look afterwards and we’ll incorporate the fix—I’ll fix them. Thanks! 🙂
Hey, it might be an issue on my end but several pages of this test don’t load correctly on two devices of mine. Apart from that, thanks a lot for the test. It did perform exceptionally well in the hwbusters-test, too.
Personally, I would like to see a test of the “Noiseblocker NB-eLoop X B14-P ARGB”, since I own several of them. However, testing them probably wouldn’t be interessting to you, since they are really old and I know only of one vendor still selling them
https://www.caseking.de/search?q=eloop+B14&search-button=&lang=de_DE
They used to cost 25 or even 30€ per fan, if I remember correctly. I think, the noiseblocker fans were one of the first to use an outer ring on the impeller.
Thanks for the contribution. Yeah, there were a few charts that weren’t displaying correctly, or weren’t showing up at all. If you spot anything like that, please let me know. Everything should be there completely now, but…
The NB-eLoop X B14-P ARGB is definitely worth testing, of course, but our capacity… Anyway, one Noiseblocker fan will definitely appear in our tests down the line, as it has been planned for quite some time and we already have the samples. 🙂
The issue regarding the results pages not loading is still ongoing – even without VPN and no ad blocker.
The div-container usually containing the result tables shows:
“Oops! That page can’t be found.
