If it really moves that much air at that noise level then it is rather impressive.

Agreed, plus for a fan unit in the 5.25" bay it doesn't look that bad.

Surprised we haven't seen more squirrel cage type fans for the PC. I'm a little dubious about the CFM claim for this.

It looks a bit see through, like it's made from the lens of a pair of Aviator sunglasses; but I still like it.
If it matched my Evercool Armor I'd get one at least to test, but it doesn't look like they do any other colours

Any thought of a dual 5.25" bay design? That would really move some air.

A couple of these popped up years ago with the exact same specs, honestly this is probably just a re-branding of that old product. I believe they didn't catch on because they sucked and didn't meet spec, either for airflow or noise... but I suppose that's true for most fans these days. It might have been a price problem too.

Edit*
This seems to be the exact same product available years ago. Looking at frozen cpu it has a review for it from 2006.

i've seen these before years ago, they made sense with shite OEM cases that had no fans in that era.


despite claims of high airflow and low noise back then as well, they were noisy as hell and barely moved any air.

I had one. (click here) Check the spec, and you can learn Chinese while doing it.

They are much louder than the 23dBA they say. But they do move a lot of air. This one is much better looking though.

a potential problem i see with this.....no dust filter - a lot of cases these days come with with dust filters - adding this would void the advantage of having filters. and if this fan moves as much air as it claims to - there will be miniture arabs, camels roaming around sand dunes created by all the dust particles at the bottom of your case in no time

its an exhaust, not an intake.

I think there's always been a conflict on whether or not it intakes or exhausts, because it's a blower it does both. You'll feel air moving on your hand from either end. It just throws it all over.

They used to have one on newegg some years ago( still might ).

Here's a link to this one
EVERCOOL PCAC 2 Case Fan

For $14 i would have to say either the CFM or the DB is BS. Like hell if it was really 100CFM and only 23db they be much more exspenive i would of thought.

Same thing ? SILVERSTONE RL-FX121 Case Fan But twice the price and only 14CFM.

Flow rate is almost certainly exaggerated..

Also for noise output:


So, you could measure the 'noise' of an Indycar engine at 23dB if you measured far enough away from it..

Thats true but do you know the standard measurement procedure?

I'm thinking it's a specific sound device at a specific length. For fans it should be less than 1m, ideally 6".

I know what it should be measured at, but the specs stated show nothing about measurement distance..
Which is why either the flow numbers, the sound numbers, or both, are BS..

Barrel fans draw air in from one side. Most common use for them would be in furnaces(that I know of)...


Anyway, this fan is an exhaust. it will draw air in from the side opposite the motor, and this part is blocked from drawing air from outside the case.
