The German company Blacknoise has been manufacturing case fans since 1998 and is known for its Black Silent fan and Ultra Silent fan series. However, with the introduction of the Noiseblocker eLoop fans in 2012, the company was able to inspire fans of silent PCs in particular. Because the NB-eLoop uses a bionically optimised design, they have managed to create some impressively low noise units. With the NB-eLoop X fan series, Noiseblocker now offers a special design fan for case modders, design lovers and RGB-LED fans alike.
The new X models come in either smart black or white, making them perfect for sprucing up the interior of your gaming PC while also improving overall airflow as well - without having to compromise on noise. The new, more neutral, colour scheme means they coordinate perfectly with just about any system, allowing users full freedom to select the combination of cases and fans that they want. Even the integrated RGB lighting is reserved: a total of seven digitally addressable RGB-LEDS are embedded in the hub and these help to illuminate the transparent fan blades as well as the frame.

Bionic Fans with Unique Blade Shape
The most striking feature of the bionic fans of Noiseblocker is the unique blade shape, which makes the noise of the airflow itself significantly quieter. At the same time, the fans help focus the airflow. This enables a more directional and efficient style of air flow, offering advantages depending on where they are being used and the components they are paired with (directional air transport, airflow management, water cooling etc).
Intensive Research with Governmental Funding
The eLoop fans are the result of research conducted by Dr. Rudolf Bannasch, who developed the basic principles of this style of rotor. The technology gradyated to production readiness in Noiseblocker's own developmental laboratory. This elaborate process was made possible thanks to funding from the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. The aim of the project was to develop the "quietest fans in the world".
Energy- and Noise Efficiency
The technology that has been developed helps reduces the noise produced as a result of the air flow, with the total flow rate increased over a comparable area at the same RPM. The other consequence is this is a commensurate increase in energy savings during operation. In addition to the bionic (i.e. naturally occurring, simulated) fan shape and optimized electronics, the high-tech fans also feature other clever innovations. These include a newly revised NanoSLI bearing (version 2) from Noiseblocker with an encapsulated design for maximum protection against dust.
The NB-eLoop X B12-P ARGB works in a range between 0 and 2000 rpm thanks to PWM technology, generating a considerable static pressure of up to 3.020 mm H2O. However, it becomes absolutely impressive when looking at the airflow, i.e. the air flow rate. A remarkable 132.4 m³/h at maximum are generated here despite the low speed range. At 12 Volt voltage and full speed the fan is still not louder than a maximum of 28.4 dB(A) - this is a remarkable achievement in the world of air cooling.
Cable management, Decoupling and Lighting
Furthermore, the NB-eLoop has cable management: Only a very short 4-pin cable is attached to the fan itself, the length of which can be varied using two supplied adapter cables. Thanks to the choice of a polycarbonate material, in particular Makrolon, the chassis is also vibration dampened and additional dampeners are still included as standard.
A total of seven digitally addressable RGB-LEDs are installed in the hub, discreetly illuminating the transparent fan blades. Thanks to the widespread 3-pin connector (5VDG), the fans can easily be connected directly to an appropriately equipped motherboard or controller. The lighting can be controlled via ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light or Gigabyte RGB Fusion.

With a thickness of 45mm, the EK-Pro P Series radiators are amazing all-rounders for low noise and high performance across the entire fan operational range. Equipped with a total of four G1/4“ threaded connection ports, it provides additional versatility during the loop planning process. A total of 14 2mm-wide copper tubes across the entire radiator length assure optimal coolant flow, putting no stress on your cooling loop. High-grade non-louvered copper fins with 18 FPI density provide the best balance between thermal transfer and air resistance, enabling optimal performance even at low-speed fan operation. To maximize cooling performance, a Push/Pull setup can be utilized on P Series EK-Pro radiators.
The EK-Pro P series radiator maximizes performance by utilizing an enhanced core with an optimized fin structure. Unlike most other radiators on the market, EK-Pro Radiator P360 Multiport is exactly 120mm wide, which ensures compatibility with most 120mm fan mounts.
The finish of the materials, mechanical rigidity, and performance are enterprise-grade.
With the supplied screws, this radiator is compatible with 120mm fans that have a standard 25mm thickness. EK recommends using EK fans or similar ones with sealed-edge frames. This classic yet effective square shape of the fan casing provides optimal performance in either the pull (suction) or push (pressure) regime without any hydraulic losses, thus ensuring the optimal cooling capacity of your liquid cooling radiators.
This multiport radiator has two additional G1/4“ threaded connection ports on the side of the radiator to allow more options with tube routing.
Hard-wearing black M4 Philips round-headed screws are supplied for ease of use. In general use case scenarios, EK strongly suggests using only the included screws to avoid damage to the radiator itself. However, M4 screw compatibility allows the users to source longer screws if necessary. The cooling core is designed to cause no detrimental damage to the structural integrity of the radiator core even if the customer uses longer screws accidentally, as they will collide only with the fins.
The internal structure design of the radiators was executed with low flow restriction in mind, providing no unnecessary stress on the rest of the cooling loop. This means you will be able to add multiple radiators to your cooling loop using only a single pump (D5 or DDC). The radiators are also airflow-friendly and low-restriction, allowing lower fan speed operation to achieve the same performance. Low airflow restriction keeps the case well-ventilated and allows other radiators in the case to breathe properly.
