What customers say
These fans earn high praise for delivering exceptional cooling performance, often matching premium brands. Users consistently highlight the impressive static pressure and airflow, making them excellent for dense radiators. The Liquid Crystal Polymer construction contributes to durability and rigidity. While the triple pack offers outstanding value, the primary consideration is acoustics. Running these fans at maximum speed generates substantial noise. Many users manage this by adjusting PWM curves for lighter loads, accepting the noise as a trade-off for top-tier thermal efficiency. This product is clearly built for performance enthusiasts prioritizing raw cooling power and quality over absolute silence at a competitive price.
Know before you buy
Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) is a high-strength material that allows for thinner, more rigid fan blades. This rigidity minimizes blade deformation at high RPMs, resulting in better airflow efficiency and improved structural durability compared to standard plastic fans.
Yes, these fans are well-suited for radiators. With a maximum air pressure of 2.87 mm H2O, they provide the necessary static pressure to push air effectively through dense radiator fins.
At their maximum speed of 2150 RPM, the noise level is rated at 28.1 dBA. While audible under full load, they are designed to maintain a manageable noise profile for high-performance cooling.
No, these fans use a standard 4-PIN PWM header. You can control their speed directly through your motherboard’s BIOS or any standard fan control software that supports PWM signals.
The Dual Ball Bearing system is designed for longevity and consistent performance over time. It is generally more resistant to heat and wear than sleeve bearings, making it an ideal choice for fans that run at high speeds for extended periods.
These fans do not feature RGB lighting. They are designed specifically for stealth-focused builds where performance and a clean, understated aesthetic are the priority.
