Decent price, kept me updated with progress, well packed (and they chucked in some sweeties!) and good delivery. Great service overall.Read on Google

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.
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.
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 B14-P ARGB works in a range between 0 and 1500 RPM, thanks to PWM technology, generating a considerable static pressure of up to 2.310 mm H2O. However, it becomes absolutely impressive when looking at the airflow, i.e. the air flow rate. A remarkable 186 m³/h (109.47 cfm) 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 29.6 dB(A) - this is a remarkable achievement in the world of air cooling.
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.
