Noiseblocker NB-eLoop X B12-PS ARGB PWM ARGB in the test – not cheap but quiet and beautifully colorful | Laboratory test with sound samples
Almost 28 euros are not cheap, but still significantly cheaper than an ARGB fan from Corsair. Blacknoise advertises the BP12x-PS-BL PWM ARGB noise blocker with a particularly quiet run of the bionic fan, which relies on the proven rotor blade design and a magnetic barometric bearing. The entire rotor is not white, but transparent and is illuminated from inside the hub. The ARGB control is compatible with all motherboards with 5V ARGB headers, regardless of what the manufacturer may call it.
On the next page you can first see how and what we test and, above all, why. Understanding the details is extremely important in order to be able to classify the results objectively later. The differences between many models are more in the details and there can hardly be THE best fan for all situations. There is a certain optimum in every situation and of course there are also good all-rounders. But they usually have their price.
The BL in the name stands for Black Edition and consequently there is also a black frame with excellent decoupling. 140,000 hours of MTBF are also a certain amount of security and a confident statement. These fans are of course in the upper class in the range of 25 to 30 euros per piece of street price. We can see today whether money is also well ventilated. After the test you are always smarter and we can also spoil the fact that this copy runs significantly better than the defective test sample from the first comparison. We are of course still testing this fan.
