Now that we got basic information out of the way, lets take a closer look at SWiF2 120P and 1201.

Unfortunately we are unable to review the 1200 model of SWiF2 so we are going to take a look at 1201 and 120P fans. From the physical perspective both of these fans look alike, in fact the only way to distinguish one from another is by the markings on the packaging. The packaging is very busy and has alot of graphics on it along with the informational data on these fans. On the back of the packaging Cooling listed the specifications and cooling charts for each fan. Its nice to know how much air each fan pushes and how loud it is.

As mentioned earlier there are very few markings which distinguish one type of fan from the other. The 120p fan is a PWM enabled fan which is controlled by motherboard. The signal is sent from motherboard to the fan so it can spin faster or slower. This technology is very much effective in saving money if you leave your pc running idle for a long periods of time. The 120P fan comes with a PWM Y connector, fan screws and anti-vibration bolts. These bolts are very helpful in eliminating fan to case vibration, making your case quieter.

The SWiF2 series fans have a simple but yet light design. The only thing that stands out is the unique blade design which helps to push more air out. With 11 blade design Coolink is pushing anywhere from 60 to 127 ml/h.

The 1201 fan is pretty much identical to the 120P fan. I couldn't tell them apart if it wasn't for the rear label which describes the model number, i could of never tell these apart. The 1201 fan comes with 4 fan screws and 4 anti-vibration bolts.

My advice would be to use anti-vibration bolts instead of the regular fan screws. This way you have less vibration in the case and less noise. Connecting these fans is pretty easy. The 120P connects trough the PWM connector on your motherboard. Please check to make sure your motherboard supports the PWM function prior to buying this fan. The 1201 fan connect trough a regular 3 prung connector on your motherboard.

Coolink SWiF2 fans definitely look promising. While being slick and quiet, they manage to produce alot of the air flow. The 120P PWM fan produces nearly 130 ml/h or 76 ft^3 per minute. This is all due to the unique blade design and hydro dynamic bearings. Besides providing cooling and being quiet, the SWiF2 will save you money on the electric bill. 120p being a PWM fan really makes the difference here. As the 1201 goes, it uses only 1.68 watts. Anti vibration bolts also help out with the amount of vibration noise within the case. Very strong and light fans with great performance. Highly recommended gear. 9/10!
