The fan accompanying the Corator DS cooler is called the SWiF2-120P which can also be purchased seperately from the company. This is an eleven blade Hydro Dynamic Bearing fan which is rated to spin between 800 and 1700 rpm. At the lowest speed it pushes around 35 cfm of air and at the full speed around 75 cfm. The acoustical noise is rated between 8.5 dBa and 27 dBa which covers a wide gamut for those with sensitive ears.
The SWiF moniker stands for ‘Silent Whisper Fan' which now uses a Hydro Dynamic Bearing (also referred to as a Fluid Dynamic Bearing). The original fans were double ball bearing.
Coolink sent us a few of their fans. The SWiF 2 120P and the SWiF2 1201. The 1201 is a fixed fan which generates strong airflow (94 m3/h) while generating 18.2 dBA of noise – it does this by spinning at a constant 1200rpm.
The boxes for both are identical, apart from the badge name top right and the fact that the 120P is PWM controlled.
Both fans are finished in an intense bright yellow with black surround. The name of each is displayed on a sticker in the central fan position. These would be hard to miss in a system build.
From the rear they look identical following the same eleven blade design. There is a 60 month, 5 year warranty with both fans which is class leading.
Both fans come with a set of rubber mounting plugs and 4 screws.
This is a brilliant cooler but I think its slightly overpriced and very hard to buy anywhere.
Seems to be a great product again from the strikeforce behind Noctua. Shame it only has one fan, most high end coolers now come with two, it proves that two is better with this review t oo.
These austrian guys are really into delivering some awesome CPU coolers. where is their main factory? far east or local?
It is great but as the review says, it has stiff competition at the price. Frio is £35 here now, and its hard to beat at that price point.
Very good review, liked the fact you tested with not only 1 fan, but added one more then 2 more ! I think it proves to coolink they need to add another and keep the price point, it would sell more im sure.
Good product, but I agree, the FRIO is close and costs quite a bit less.
I could certainly tell the parent company behind Noctua were involved. because these guys make some brilliant fans, with the WORST COLOR SCHEMES IVE EVER SEEN ! bright yellow or burgundy. lovely. 🙁
I almost bought this cooler last week, but went for a cheaper one. It seems a very good product. I like the yellow fans also, very dramatic.
Great review thanks
Very good looking heatsink – nice designs from these companies, good products.
excellent quality product as I would have expected. I think I would get this if I could find it on sale anywhere locally. Seems even harder to get here than Noctua products
Those fans are brilliant lookin. never seen bright yellow fans before. need to get a few of those.
Wozzers, didnt know these guys owned Noctua as well. they seem to be a hell of a company releasing some awesome products.
