Coolink SWiF 1201 Fan Review

Conclusion

The Coolink SWiF 1201 offers decent performance and was certainly one of the top dogs when it was originally released.

However, with the advent of new manufacturers improving technologies and reducing prices in this sector, things have changed to knock the wind out of the SWiF 1201’s sails a little.



Don’t get me wrong it’s a good fan but the absence of rubber fan mounts and a price of around £12 it’s not priced aggressively enough to compete directly. At this price point other manufacturers offerings might draw more interest from potential purchasers.

I will say though that i do prefer the SWiF’s external PCI control knob system to other solutions – that in my honest opinion does drag some kudos back in Coolink’s direction.

Pros
+ Quiet overall
+ Well presented
+ Nice fan speed control system
+ Good back pressure at all useable voltages
+ Starts up @ 7v

Cons
- A touch pricy
- Fan whine @ 12v
- No rubber mount system

Overall i would be happy to recommend the SWiF 1201 to someone wanting a quiet, speed controlled system fan. It’s a nicely presented package and performs well overall so i choose to give it our Silver Award.



Vortez Hardware would like to thank Coolink for supplying the SWiF 1201 for review. To Discuss this review please visit our forum.
