Cooler Master Excalibur 120mm

Excalibur, as the name suggests, is inspired by the legendary sword of King Arthur from the middle ages. The nine massive sword-shaped blades are designed to produce exceptionally high air pressure, which fortify the cooling efficiency when used in dense water cooling radiators or performance heatsinks.
This is the first fan from Cooler Master to adopt Barometric Ball Bearing (BBB) technology.

SilverStone FM 181

The Silverstone FM181 180 x 180 x 32mm Variable Speed High Performance Fan can be used to upgrade Silverstone cases as well as used outside the box for 180mm applications. Currently both Raven models utilize the 180mm fan size as well as the FT101. This fan is an upgrade that allows you to control the RPM manually via a rear PCI Slot Rheobus controller. A separate cable is included for fixed speed usage as well as a 4-pin adapter.

Noctua NF-F12 PWM

Teaming up eleven stator guide vanes with a specially conceived seven blade impeller, the NF-F12’s Focused Flow™ system creates outstanding static pressure and focuses the airflow for superior performance on heatsinks and radiators. At the same time, a wide range of advanced aerodynamic design measures, second generation SSO-Bearings and Noctua’s new, custom designed PWM IC for fully automatic control guarantee astounding quietness of operation. The NF-F12 comes with modular cabling, integrated anti-vibration pads and two speed settings for full flexibility. Its commanding performance, exhaustive set of features and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make it an elite choice for use on air coolers, radiators and other pressure demanding applications.

Phanteks PH-F140TS

140mm premium fans are designed using the unique Maelström concept technology. With its’ nine blades and MVB feature, it will produce a powerful yet silent downdraft airflow. Long lifespan and rotational stability is made possible with the UFB bearing, composed by MOSS and SSC systems. Speed adjustments can be done by using the QSA adaptors. The stylish octagon frame fits 120mm screw holes. PH-F140TS is setting a new standard of performance and compatibility.

Akasa Piranha

Akasa unveiled its third themed case fan after Viper (which goes into Venom series products) and Apache. Called the Piranha, the new fan design by Akasa relies on a new impeller blade design with teethed edges and broad blade ends, which work to increase air-flow, which can then be traded off for lower speed and lower noise. Akasa initially only has a 120 mm (120 x 120 x 25 mm) model. It supports PWM control, and draws power from standard 4-pin connector. Its cabling is sleeved. The Piranha from Akasa could be sold as unit fan packages, but could also feature in future Akasa products such as CPU coolers, cases, and PSUs.



Lepa 70D

Have you ever imagined that a case fan still works efficiently at up to 70°C ambient temperatures? The LEPA 70D can do that thanks to high-quality and heat-resistant materials. To mirror high temperature resistance, the LEPA 70D offers solid appearance with high quality texture. Barometric Oilless Bearing delivers long life span and silent spinning even under extreme conditions. Programing rotation speed is a cinch with the included 12V-7V-5V combo adapter.

Enermax Magma

The fan is the air conditioner of the case. To make your computer cool, you need a high performance fan. Equipped with revolutionary “Twister”-Bearing, the Enermax Magma UC-MA12 can run at 85? at least 100,000 hours. The batwing blade design brings extra 20% ~ 30% airflow for enhanced cooling performance. The sleeved cables eliminate wire cluttered status. Designed for a longtime use, the fan's detachable blades deliver a great convenience for easy cleaning.
This fan will function efficiently whether used as a CPU cooler fan, a PSU fan or a chassis cooling fan.
