GIGA Fan vs Gaming PC – Can One Fan Cool It? | H2S Review
Bambu Labs just dropped their new H2S 3D printer, and it might be their most impressive machine yet. To put it to the test, I set out on one of the craziest PC cooling experiments I’ve ever attempted: replacing every fan in my high-end, water-cooled gaming PC with a single 450mm GIGA fan the size of the entire case.
Using the H2S, I 3D printed a custom front panel that turned my PC into one massive case fan — powered by a smaller fan at the core. The question is… can one ridiculously oversized fan keep a powerful gaming PC cool? Or is this just the dumbest (and biggest) PC fan ever made?
Along the way, I’ll also dive into what makes the Bambu H2S such a beast of a printer and why it might be the new standard for high-end desktop 3D printing.
All these people btching about a 11 min ad about printers… his channel is about 3d printed fans and him giving his knowledge of the them and preferences might actually help others who are looking to use them.. stop the btchng and skip if you don’t want to watch it. As for the huge case fan, I’d say let’s see if there is a way to get a motor to run it! I have thought about doing something like that just don’t have the resources. Great video bro.. and I just lost the game.
let the giant fan sit on its own bearing
You’d definitely need a different motor setup, and maybe use a ball bearing in the hub of that thing.
You know, you’ve been running the fan showdown for a very long time but it’s mainly with desktop noctua fans. It would be pretty cool to see a laptop fan showdown to see if changing the fan could improve a laptop’s cooling performance and there’s a lot of computers I got that would probably get a good performance boost. The only problem I can think of is what laptop fan exactly?
Yes do it😊
Who doesn’t want their PC to sound like an AH-64 Apache on the flightline.
scale and reprint that giant fan to key onto a standard box fan motor. Would also be neat to see how some previous fan designs perform at super-size scale.
The sooks are out in strength
People acting like the video title doesnt literally say its a 3d printer review hes just printing a fan lmao
I vote that you make a better version. Maybe you could make the next season about seeing who could make the most efficient version of the giant fan.
its a vid about a fan and if it can cool a PC, and over half of it is about 3D printers… maybe make that a own vid? bc honestly theres definitly alot of ppl that arent interested in it one darn bit…
Great to hear an H2S review, it didn’t get nearly as much attention as the H2D.
you need more POWER on that big fan~
You could try doing a belt drive to it maybe even a rc car motor
You should make a support with bearings for the big fan , one front one back. On the middle of the massive fan, support for 4 motors that have a gear output fixed to the center of the massive fan gear. The result is 4 times more power, reduction ratio, a solid frame and solid support to the massive fan
>11 minute ad
>breaks print immediately
11 minutes of bullshit till it got to the video title. And has a joke about how no-one likes computers anymore, that’s the only reason we are here.
Clicked on for giant fan, stayed for a bamboo ted talk. Thanks for letting us know that bamboo is taking after HP as far as printers go. Now i don’t have to look at that brand when I finally bite the bullet.
Just take the motor off a household box fan.
seems like something gpt would draw lol, but, you could get the design of a industrial fan for this madness…
no thanks, that ad, skipping the whole video
Please do it. Use a cheap Walmart fan for the power source?
Should just rig is to a box fan motor, That would struggle less
delete my comment eh? guess I’ll delete my sub
I’m saying make it for the 011 Air Mini
They lock, we don’t buy.
– Video starts at @11:01
I’m confused,why not buy a ac box fan and mod em?
Someone needs to get a server fan that you can overvault to hell and back.
As for phase 2 of this you may want to have some vents in the hub.
maybe the most straight forward solution is getting one of those room fans motors
Id say definitely try this again with a more capable motor
One that could handle the torque and is overspecced so it doesnt burn itself up.
Yes that would be awsome! Definitely make it a more permanent solution and stress test that to!
@MajorHardware
Giant fan on a PC? Hell yes! Do it brother!
dude just use a box fan motor
I used to have a case, the TA Diablo, it had a 360mm fan in the side and a 200 in the front. That tower was sick for its day, which would have been z270 2700K era, so 2011. Never had any trouble with cooling 😂 I think I also had two 120mm in the bottom and one 120mm in the rear
You need to utilize a legitimate motor instead of piggybacking off of an existing fan and risk burning the motor. For simplicity, scale up the wattage requirement by the weight of the fan compared to something smaller.
If the fan weight is 10x from a smaller case fan, get a 10x motor.
I’m guessing you may need more than 2 amp at 12v.
I’m thinking you need a ventilated section for the fan motor itself. Maybe even upgrade to a brushless RC motor for reliability. IDK, just spitballing.
Holy fuck 12 minutes of this video is a fucking ad for Bambu
nothing burger video…
You need a blowiematron… ie. one of those 120 volt industrial fans. You can get them in 120mm, and the bushings tend to be pretty beefy. The ones I used even had some holes in the front of the hub that I bet you could tap threads into and actually bolt a fan to.
Tremendo comercial, se llevó la mitad del vídeo xd
Btw, why not put a electric scooter motor inside the fan? 🤔🤔🫣
The actual titled portion of the video was "meh" at best, but the almost 12 minutes of infomercial on a 20 minute video is uncalled for and shameful.
Use a top down air flow towards the mono style heatsink without a fan and see what kind of temps it can sustain.
After you make it survive
Nice fan! I like how it can double as a coffee table. It’s actually a pretty cool idea I’m glad you tried this
Yes redesign, and next time just show the fan activity 😂
AeroCool did just this with the S9 Pro an eon ago. Love that case!
Still going, all it needed is its only bearing to be changed once. It’s a 693 ZZ by the way, luckily not unique.
That said, I’d love to have this chungus sometime! 😀 Proper motor, bearings… who knows?
Everyone going on about the 11min sponsors segment and I’m more annoyed that you mixed fahrenheit and Celcius temps in the vid instead of picking one for Eazy comparison. I’ve gotta google to find out if 69-70°F is hot or not 🤣
Put cooling vents in there for the motor. And maybe balance the fan, nobody ever balances fans these days……golf tape, use golf tape.
thumbs down for huge bamboo ad.These printers should be avoided at all costs. Taking features away after purchase is a big no-no. This company is banned forever in my purchase history. Asking the manufacturer if the print is ok: hell no. This is what the cloud thing basically is. They can stop YOUR hardware at any time, so it’s not you hardware anymore. I hope they pay well for those lies.
