ARCTIC, one of the leading manufacturers of low-noise PC coolers and components, is adding five new variants to its extensive fan lineup. The black case fans complement the F-Series, which is known for an excellent balance of efficient ventilation, quiet operation and affordable pricing.

"By producing the black add-on models, we are responding to our customers requests for PC fans with sleek and classic design" said Vincent Andre, technical director at ARCTIC. The products can be found starting now in the ARCTIC webshop, on Amazon and in retail stores.

Now if only they'd also bring it to their GPU coolers...
Sure, they sell non-PST fans too, but they're harder to find, at least where I am.
I understand the complexity in making them with modern variations in PCB but if the watercooling companies can make a waterblock for hundreds of models, it can't be that hard to do the same thing for at least the more common Ampere/Navi cards.
Too many Ampere/Navi cards have big, garish, stylized coolers with stupid decisions all over them. Sure, they cool fine because they're overkill but not everyone wants a 2Kg, 350mm long, triple-slot RGBLED phallus. It's plenty possible to cool 350W with a trio of regular 92mm case fans and a rectangular, 20mm thick heatsink. That would make your typical OMFGOMGRGBLED hall-of-fame monstrosity into a regular-sized dual-slot(ish) graphics card that might fit into smaller SFF builds without mandating a custom water loop.
I would be easy enough to have it in the frame and still allow some swivel tho... but that would probably increase production cost too much. Remember, these are budget fans.
